COAT CLOSET
Coat closets are notorious for being over-crowded. And it’s no wonder… trying to fit coats, hats, scarves, gloves, and boots for an entire family into one closet is challenging! Try hanging a shoe bag on the inside of the door. The pockets are perfect for winter hats, rolled up scarves, and gloves. In addition to creating more storage space, an over the door shoe bag makes it easy to quickly see everything and find what you need when you’re in a hurry to get out the door.
I’ve also got a post with my favorite, damage-free way to hang a shoe bag on a door without using the over the door hooks, which is perfect if your doors are extra tall, like mine.

You may have noticed one more bonus feature of the back of door organizer that I used for Cooper’s hats and shoes… the bottom is a hamper dirty clothes hamper that lifts off when I’m ready to carry it to the washer. Now we don’t have a hamper taking up floor space in the room – win/win!

SEASONAL DECOR
I love to decorate for every different season, but constantly swapping out our holiday decor means that I need a place to store it the rest of the year. I have an extra hall closet that I affectionately call my “prop closet.” Shelves along the back of the closet hold holiday decor, one wall is used for wreath storage, and a shoe back hanging on the back of the closet door is perfect for storing faux flowers and pillar candles.
Now that I have a dedicated candle storage cabinet in the living room, I use this entire over the door shoe bag for flowers – but pillar candles do fit perfectly in the pockets!

Or if you need extra food storage, put the pantry door to use with one of these great storage options:

Love all the options and have used several over our years of military moves (especially the removable ones!). Where did you find or where might I now find the divider you command stripped to the boys’ cabinet door?

Sorry! I should have included that link in the post (I've added it now). I bought that divided metal bin online, and it comes in a few different colors. Here's an affiliate link: http://fave.co/2BR45lx

These ideas are superb. I specifically loved the creative use of pantry bulletin board and linen closet.
