OK – I get it. If you’re like most people you’ve never had drawers in your closet so why should you start now? And that’s a good question. There’s no reason to spend money on something you won’t use.

And if there’s one thing I will do in this article is ‘be real with you.’ I have Z-E-R-O intention of ‘beating around the bush’ (or around your overstuffed closet). Closet drawers are a feature most people haven’t given much thought to.…

If your closet is ‘butt-ugly’ raise your hand. And if you didn’t raise your, I’d like to congratulate you on that new pair of rose-colored glasses.

And if we’re being real most closets are an unmitigated (and a mitigated) disaster. Hanging clothes bunched together. Haphazard stacks of clothes. Shoes in a dumper-heap on the floor. Does this resemble your world?

Most likely if you’re reading this we’ve never met. And I’ll bet you’ve never ‘invited me in’ to see your closet (wow – that sounds kind of personal doesn’t it?). So, you may be wondering how I think I know the SINGLE BIGGEST problem with your MESSY CLOSET if I haven’t even seen it yet?
