As part of the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge, I decided today was the day I would tackle the linen closet. We’ve never had one before this house and do I dare admit that it was a selling point for me? I was just a little excited about it! But in that whirlwind last September known as the two weeks between move-in day and our Little Miss’s birth, I unpacked boxes, shoved linens wherever they fit, and called it a day.
Five months later (FIVE!!), I’m finally putting some order into the chaos. I was a horrible blogger and forgot to take before pictures, but I’m sure you can make a mental picture. It was bad.
Inspired by this pin:
I purged, decluttered and organized, and ended up with this:
It’s not finished, but it’s a big improvement. I still need a couple of baskets to hold the sheets and something on the floor to corral extra toilet paper. I want to make an upstairs cleaning kit too. Looking at these pictures, the OCD part of me wishes the baskets were all the same color. I may change them down the road, but for now, a free upgrade sounds good enough for me.
