I'm glad I kept catching up on my feed to get to this article. The fashion world is starting to notice and meet the demand for fairly-sourced, yet globalized fabrics and manufacturing (http://fashioningchange.com/ is a great resource for such clothing). I really hope there will be a rise in the same type of entities for home decor and other textile basics. If anyone knows of such a site, please do share! As I find a need for an item, I try to vote with my dollar as often as possible. Sure, I might pay more here and there, but these things last much longer and serve as a constant reminder of my informed purchasing decision, thus inspiring me to keep at it.

The screen on the top is my favorite feature about our Simple Brew (similar to the last one, but not as tall) and it was only $24. We use it every day. http://www.rishi-tea.com/product/simple-brew-loose-leaf-teapot/teapots

What about washi tape? Has anyone tried using it floor-to-ceiling? I'm a renter and have been considering giving washi tape a try. This could be a great use for it!

@smilestone & lili09: i think the corkboard idea is great! i've seen that elsewhere and i think it's worth trying, especially if you have a lot of long necklaces. i've also seen people use cute knobs in the base of an empty picture frame covered in pretty cloth or, for those not renting, hang them right on the wall. i will have to borrow the martini glass idea for earrings. thanks!

i discovered a great way to store "hookable" items like belts and scarves without using hooks - shower curtain rings! they even fit on the big old wooden closet rods. i have the clear plastic ones that snap shut, but pretty rings would be nice to have someday.

another useful tip i read somewhere: to keep tall boots upright, just roll up a magazine and put it into the boot. i like to throw a used dryer sheet between the pages to freshen them, too. it's amazing how cluttered one pair of floppy boots can make a closet look!
