How to install wire shelving- Boys Bathroom Closet Organization! Treasures & Trinkets

It's Treasures and Trinkets Linky Party TIME!

Link up something you love!

You know what I LOVE?

Organization!

Today I'm going to show you a place in my home

that not many people see,

but it drives me crazy!

Let me first tell you that we bought our house

repossessed, and the previous owners took

EVERYTHING they could with them...

even down to the closet organization systems!

We've slowly been working our way through the house

replacing all those, but this little closet

 was WAY down

on the list of re-dos...

until NOW!

So here is a pic of what the poor little closet

looked like before I started organizing!

I had purchased these clear drawers as a

temporary storage system for this closet

and let me tell you it wasted a LOT

of valuable space~!

See all that wasted space up there!!!

I decided it was time to tackle the situation,

and made a trip to Lowes.

(it's very dangerous to my wallet that Lowes

is only 2 miles from my house! lol)

I purchased all the items below:

I got 20" deep wire shelving

(12 feet long, cut into 5 shelves the width of the closet)

and I bought 20" deep brackets to go with it.

\

I also splurged a little and got the fast track system instead

of just getting the little brackets

 and support arms I was going to get.

With this system, you just hang the one bar at the top

of the closet and then the standards hang on it.

 (standards are the lengths of metal the brackets connect to) 

It looks like this....

My first plan was to use my handy dandy

stud finder and hang the bar on a stud...

but alas, I have a studless closet!

This is stud finder for those of you that

have studs.

:)

Since there were no studs,

 I opted to use these molly anchors instead.....

If you've never used these, they are pretty simple,

you just unscrew the screw from the anchor bracket part,

 put it through the hole of whatever you're

wanting to hang. Screw the anchor back on like above,

then drill a hole in the wall that the anchor will fit into

when it's pinched like this.

Then you just screw the screws in until it gets tight like this...

The anchors get tight against the inside of your drywall and hold

a pretty good amount of weight!

Then it was time to hook on the standards

like this....

Next we used regular wall anchors to

anchor the standards to the wall.

(again, no studs)

:-/

I had a little help with this step..

I got my little man involved in helping

me screw the screws in....

I think he enjoyed himself!

Next was the fun part!

We put in the shelving brackets and

attached the wire shelves!

Easy as falling off a log!

Next I organized the sheets by size

and put them neatly on the shelves!

I always put my fitted sheet and

pillow cases folded inside the flat sheet...

the whole set is together and it

looks so much neater on the shelf.

Can you tell which side is the teenagers sheets and which side

belongs to the nine year old?

:0)

I decided to make these cute little tags to

further organize the space.

My Cricut Expresion to the rescue!!

So, there ya have it...

a nice, neat space that utilizes every

square inch of the closet!

I was able to fit everything from the old

storage system into this closet

with shelves to spare!

So just for fun,

here's the before and after one more time!

On Friday I'll be linking up to Traci @ Beneath My Heart

(she's having an organize your heart and home linky party,

so go link up your organization projects
