Anyone who knows me in person knows that part of my daily uniform is most often a scarf! I love that adding a scarf to jeans and a tank or long sleeve tee instantly adds color. You really can’t go wrong. Where you can go very wrong is when they overtake your closet. My hubs and I share a closet {not ideal, I know} and we overhauled it in this post. I took a tip from Megan at Honey We’re Home and her fab closet. She used small kid size hangers for her sweaters and it suddenly occurred to me that those would be perfect for my scarves. So it was off to my daughter’s closet to steal a few. The rod above my dresser which you can see below was essentially wasted space. So I am now able to hang a large part of my scarf collection right there. The small size of the hanger is perfect for these. The gray and white striped tray is an Ikea find and is home to my flowers {I usually wear them in my hair or clipped to a sweater}. The dresser is also from Ikea and I just added the hardware. Much better than the pile of scarves on top of the dresser that I had going on for way too long. Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We had fun cheering on our Gator Girl in soccer and went to an amazing first birthday party. Didn’t quite get to the stenciling, but I will. Happy Monday.

Great idea! I love the whole space! I'm jealous!
Gaby [The Vault Files] says
Love that idea! And what a closet makeover! You did an amazing job 😉
Amanda says
That's a great idea! It looks fantastic – I'm jealous of that whole closet. Ours needs a massive overhaul!
Simply LKJ says
Love this idea! I have one of those wooden scarf hangers, but it is so hard to see each one. I just realized that is the same dresser we have in our closet! I love the hardware you added…hmm…might just have to make me another trip to Ikea!
Shelley says
Ooo… that is a great idea! Love your closet by the way. Makes me want to gut mine and start over 😀
Andrea says
What a fabulous idea. Off to steal hangers from my children!
Sami says
Awesome idea. My scarves have been hanging over our bedroom door for years, I've tried putting them in the closet, but they always find their way to the floor. Hoping this works wonderfully!

OK – your closet looks the exact opposite of mine and I'm totally jealous. Mine stays organized for about 24 hours and then it looks like it threw up on itself.

Cute! I have so much organizing left to do in the closets that Bath Crashers installed at our house- I'm definitely borrowing this idea. Now if only they would come back and install those closet doors…http://oneprojectatatime.blogspot.com/2011/06/bath-crashers-ambush.html

Sch a great idea! I definitely need to do something with my scarves…I have too many and they're everywhere!!

I hate wasted space in my closet, perfect solution!
The Starr Family says
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to copy. I thought my scarves were 'perfectly organized' all folded in my new bin. I think I dump it like 5-6 times per week searching for what I want! Inspiring as always girl!
Chassity (Look Linger Love) says
Now that is a brilliant idea. Looks so pretty too. Always thinking over there aren't you.
Lili says
brilliant idea, courtney! I too have them everywhere my closet & they need to be displayed in a pretty way!
emily says
Genius idea! I was just thinking the other day I needed a better way to store my scarves. Totally copying you on this one! And you have the perfect little place for them too!
Kristle Jones says
I'm headed to get hangers from my girls' closet now! Love this!
Michaela says
Such a great idea! I wish I had a bigger closet to hang my scarves in!
Aubrey {All Things Bright and Beautiful} says
It's the little things, now isn't it??? I swear, it's sick how happy seeing things organized makes me…I have a problem! Well, *problems*, but hey, as far as I'm concerned (and probably my husband), the organizing bug is a blessing!! Looks great, court!
Allison says
You are wonderfully organized! I love your idea of the little hangers for scarves. I am a scarf person myself and need to do something with mine. I must go in search of little hangers this week!
Carmel @ Our Fifth House says
Great idea! Your closet is so pretty and organized!
Chic Coastal Living says
Love you closet! It's so roomy and girly!
Megan {Honey We're Home} says
You have a great collection of scarfs! Are you wearing them yet? Still too hot here! And thanks for the mention girlie!!
Cassie {Hi Sugarplum!} says
That is a great idea — and of course I'm a scarf addict too! And they are great for travel bc they take up NO room and have so many uses! Mine are piled up on hooks in the coat closet…not ideal. Love your idea on the hangers!
Heavenly Blossoms says
Love this idea!! Your closet is realllly cute too!

Now that is a brilliant idea. Looks so pretty too. Always thinking over there aren't you.

Just my two cents – instead of spending the money on children's hangers, you can go into an accessory store like Ardenes and they'll likely just give you some. I do the same thing for my flats – I ask for the little plastic hangers they use for display purposes! : )
