Super Organized

I’m sick. So I’ll keep this post short. I have been trying to reorganize closets and the basement for the last couple weeks and things are finally looking better. It’s so gratifying to see a pile of disorganized stuff turn organized. I tackled the kids’ bathroom closet yesterday which had a bunch of bathmats I haven’t used in years and so many kitchen towels that I had no idea what season was what. I actually had tackled this problem several years back and put them in a couple containers organized by 2 different seasons but I couldn’t fit them all in the two buckets and everything was hard to get to because I had to remove the bucket to get to it. Everything slowly moved down to a second shelf outside of the buckets taking up even MORE room.

This time I moved to clearly defined stacks of Halloween, Thanksgiving and fall, summer, everyday (and bees), Valentine’s and St Patty’s Day, easter/spring. I also put dividers between them to make the stacks more defined. This may sound obvious but I put the fold of the towels outwards so I can tell where each towel starts and pull it out more easily from the stack. I then moved the cleaning supplies into the old bins I was using for the towels. I really hope this helps keep things organized. I also gained quite a bit of space that I might end up using for more guest sheets and guest towels. Bonus! I wish I had a before view because it was horrendous.

I give those labels a week before the kids figure out they can pull them out. (They are just 1″ thick strips of cardstock)

    Not going to lie but it’s very soothing to see an organized closet – even one that’s not mine.
