Chic Organization | my closet makeover

Spring is pretty much officially here, at least I think so. I'm all about the bright colors again and working my way towards a huge spring cleaning. I decided to do a big overhaul on my Austin closet and get things organized and pretty.

Its always good to throw out and bring some new beautiful things in. A closet should always be beautifully organized but because I've been in and out of Austin and NYC, it's actually been a mess. So, I popped over to T.J. Maxx & Marshalls to pick up some pretty things to make my closet more organized.

I always love gray as a neutral, so I decided to get a few things in the grey family. A gray laundry basket, hangers [I love the velvet ones, they make everything stay in place], a shoe organizer, matching striped baskets for socks & misc. items, some mirrored frames to jazz up the area and chic marbled wrapping paper to line drawers and to use as art. The best part about shopping at these stores is you not only can shop for the home, you can shop for the closet too. I picked up a pair of mint green pumps that just scream Spring!

I just love how clean and organized the closet looks now. I love how all of the gray items go together, especially the hangers, they are so chic together, it now feels like a little boutique. Oh, and the marbled wrapping paper made the perfect art for the glam mirrored frames, no? Here are a few detailed shots of the space.

Art Inspired {a DIY art idea}

I'm slightly obsessed with good art. I once visited the Affordable Art Fair (although its not so affordable) in Manhattan & got so many good ideas for my interiors projects. One look I really fell for was the one color canvas look. This is such a great DIY idea for anyone who wants to make their own art and doesn't feel like an artist. It adds a bold pop of whatever color you need, without at the busy-ness of artwork. It's calming and chic.

I was so into the look I ended up doing it in my own apartment. I think it might be the only DIY project I did in this apartment and I'm in love with the result. I took an old art piece that I found at a thrift store, I chose it because it had clumps of paint, so the canvas had texture and wasn't just flat paint. So, after the dried result, its a textured white art piece, it looks so good in person.

All white everything had my name written all over it and this gorgeous Emma Jane Pilkington space was my inspiration...

I'm also crushing so hard on this look. An all black canvas, bold white matting inside a gorgeous ornate gold fame. So chic I can't stand it + looks really great on white walls. I'll have to try this in my next home....
