Etsy Find: Handcrafted Bamboo Hangers
In my how-to on organizing your hangers, I talked a lot about choosing the right type of hangers for your wardrobe. But in guest rooms or coat closets, or when you're using apparel as home décor, sometimes aesthetics take priority over clips, clamps, and rubber grips. If that's the case, consider the Pretty Plum Sugar Handcrafted Bamboo Hangers ($25 for 10).
Do You Use Fabric Hangers?
Fabric hangers, in my mind, conjure up knitting grannies and stale, musty closets in country cottages. But they're actually great for protecting delicate materials like silk, expensive lingerie, and fancy dresses. I personally don't own any, but then again my closet may be in need of a hanger update.
Love It or Hate It? Danny Seo's Beaded Hanger
Danny Seo recently wrote that he's been getting his creative juices flowing in preparation for a new book. A recent crafty project was stringing vintage wooden beads onto a wire dry cleaner hanger. I think it's adorable, and seems like it might cause less wear on your clothes from the poking wire hanger.
Cool Idea: Another Use For a Plate Hanger
Su Casa member Brendelwoman recently shared her inventive use of a plate hanger that she bought at a consignment shop for $12. Since she didn't have any plates to display with the plate hanger, she needed to think out of the box. Brendelwoman decided to use the plate hanger to display some other trinkets.
Guess What Hangs From This?
This clever little invention is used to dry some of your personal possessions. With 18 suspended clothing pins, it's likely to hold your entire collection. Even better, it can expand and contract to fit into any small space.
Cool Idea: Pant Hanger Picture Frames
I recently spotted this pant/skirt hanger picture frame idea on Ladies & Gentleman Home, and felt a pang of "why didn't I think of that?" It actually started as a budget solution for hanging prints, but evolved into something that has an art-like quality of its own. I'm not so sure that this technique would work in every home, but it certainly works wonders above this mid-century tufted sofa with the mix of screen-printed, floral, and graphic toss pillows and plaid throw picking up the colors and patterns of the prints.

About a year ago, I gave you all an in-depth guide to organizing your hangers. If you're like me, your closet is in tip-top shape for a couple weeks, and then it's time to get organized again.
