Now that the temperature's dropping, it's time to switch out the off season clothes. While you're packing away your shorts and flip flops, you're pulling out your sweaters and scarves. If you're like me, you have more than a couple of scarves that you work into your fashion rotation. Now that you'll be needing access to them, wouldn't it be nice if they were neatly contained and ready to wear?
I used to keep my scarves in a little basket in the coat closet. They were well contained in the basket but they were a pain in the ass to access. It seems like the scarf I wanted was always on the bottom of the basket. To get to it, I'd have to pull out every other scarf and by the time I got the one I wanted I had a pile of tangled scarves on my lap. This year, I'm all set to have my scarves at arm's length, ready to provide comfort at a moment's notice. I ditched the basket and attached a curtain rod to the back of my bedroom door. And just like that, I have a place to organize my scarves.
I chose the back of the bedroom door because it's the easiest to access before I leave the house. You could really do this anywhere, though. If you have a coat closet near your front door, that would be an ideal place. And, of course, you don't have to install the curtain rod on the back of a door. You could also attach it directly to the wall, either in a closet or, for a more industrial look, in the entryway itself.
