I shared with you how I organize bracelets earlier this week, now I’ll show you my purses.
Now, since I like to keep it truthful, I confess these are not all my purses. I have a copy paper sized box of clutches and two other larger purses that I was in the midst of switching out. Additionally, I’m not sold on what I do. I hang my purses even though I know Martha Stewart says not to.
In the 50s closet space was not a priority. So, I have to be creative with storage for things like purse hoarding storage. Therefore, I decided to put hooks in the wall behind the door going into our bedroom.
The Mister hung them and used anchors due to the potential weight. I found the widest hooks possible so the straps could lay straight. Some do and some don’t. This past weekend, when I decided to take them all off the hooks to clean them, I asked The Mister to look for anything deeper next time he went to a home improvement store. I’ll let you know if we find anything. When I put my bags on the hooks I work from the bottom and move up – which is seen in the photo above. Additionally, I put my smallest purses (that are not kept in the box) on the bottom hooks.
No, the door does not open completely but this has not been an issue. Nobody has ever noticed, tried to push it nor does it impede getting laundry baskets in. (We need to find a better excuse for laundry mess.) In fact, it’s helpful as we have a larger than ideal chair right when you enter. Having the door not completely open allows a better flow into our room.
My concern is that some of the handles have creases from the hanging. I’m not sure how to stop that beside my mother’s suggestion of bubble wrap. You got anything? If you tell me to put them all in a drawer or on a shelf I will get fussy. I will do it. It’s not pretty.
