Tidying

[bob]

Today I attacked my bedroom and made it all neat and tidy. I also sorted out my clothes of which more later. However while rehanging stuff my perfectionism kicked in and I had to think for while about how things should be hung. therefore we need a poll!

I remembered another thing I wanted to specify! If t-shirts are folded instead of being hung up, they should be folded with the logo on the outside.

ive only just recently made the jump to folding them. folding them to be a certain way will take longer.

I have jackets, coats etc hung on the left side of the wardrobe, facing towards the right. All other clothes are hung on the right, facing towards the left. Empty coathangers hang in the middle. This is because the wardrobe stands in the corner near the window; if I'm reaching in to get a jacket or coat, they are immediately facing me, but if I'm reaching for other clothes I get the benefit of the natural light from the window whilst choosing an outfit.

Going from right to left, clothes are hung in the following order:
Dresses, skirts, trousers, blouses/shirts, waistcoats, empty coathangers, light jackets, winter jackets, long-length coats.

T-shirts are folded (logo out) and placed in a drawer; jumpers are folded and placed on the shelf over the clothing rail in the wardrobe.
