Closet Reorganization + A Home Goods Find

Workout:
Yesterday:
4 really easy miles
Abs, weights
Yesterday was the 8th straight day of running, so today is definitely a rest day. I guess I just kind of forgot to take a rest day or two in there. Oops.
PS does anyone else's treadmill majorly overestimate calories burned? Tempted to start wearing my heart rate monitor on the treadmill.

I think our sitting area is just about complete! I found an 8x10 Calvin Klein area rug at Home Goods, and after comparing prices, I decided to scoop it up. 

I think it matches perfectly.

Then I put the rug that was in our bedroom in our entry way where I think it looks much better anyway.

I also spent some time reorganizing my closet yesterday. Eventually I'd like to get a chandelier and wood shelving instead of wire. But this will make due for now.

I'd like to replace that shelf that's under my jewelry with a small vanity chair and table. The only stuff hanging on that shelf is my running gear which I could put in drawers in my dresser.

 And does anyone know where to find or what to buy to keep boots from falling over like this?

And I took some of my purses out of the dustbags and put them on the shelves. 

Does anyone else get in a cleaning/organizing mood and want to change everything about their closet?

I can't take credit for this idea for your boots, as it came from Pinterest :)

LOVE the noodle idea posted above - since I'm not that creative, I've been using rolled up newspaper, and it works pretty well too :)

Wine bottles also work pretty well for the boots!

I use file folders. You can just role them into a cone and put them in! I get them from school since im a teacher so its something I already buy.

I actually just bought these for my boots. They expand to the width of the shaft. http://www.containerstore.com/shop/closet/shoeStorage/shoeCare?productId=10000125

I just use old magazines, it seems to work just fine! And it's free!

Roll up your old magazines for the boots!

I just did a major closet redo and I used old rolled up magazines in my boots. Works like a charm!

I need to clean out my closet. It's terrible. I still haven't unpacked since we brought Eli home.

I use pant hangers (ya know... with the hooks) to hang up my boots. Also, gives me some extra room in the closet for more shoes!
