The Perfect Closet - Best When Selling a Homeperfect closet

I love looking at family photos when house hunting with my buyers, to figure out what kind of people the sellers are.....   I don't usually learn much, except that they do or don't have kids.  

This closet, however, taught me a great deal about this family.    They are extremely neat folks, and have a system for eveything they do, including the socks drawer, I am sure.   I am sure their pencils are in perfect order, as are the children's toys (they were!)

Most blogs are written about the messy "hoarder's houses, but I wanted to write about the opposite folks.    Neat and clean everywhere.   I am sure their check books are balanced every time they write a check, for sure.   

Just wanted to share the other side of the story .....

Good morning Dagny. Unfortunately I see much the opposite when purchasing homes to flip, but you are right, closets can tell a story without anyone saying a word.

Make it a great week!

So true Dagny. This is not what we usually find when opening a closet door. Yesterday we showed a condo where we couldn't even open the closet as it was so stuffed!

Wow, that is a neat, organized closet.  If you were to show my house, my clothes are neatly organized (jackets, suits, dress shirts, dressy casual clothes, short-sleeved) and my Joyce's are everywhere!  It's like there's a line in the middle of the closet that won't let Joyce's weevil over to destroy my side!

I have no comment about our closets, except to say the doors do work.

Dagny,

This is quite possibly the most organized closet I have ever seen! Thanks for showing us the flip side to clutter.

Good morning, Dagny.... the closet is very neat, but I think the sagging pole tells me that everything is not perfect...
