Our linen closet needed help. Big help. It was so bad, I'm afraid to even post before pictures. But I will because I know there are people like me out there who have ugly, cluttered, completely disorganized closets too. Basically our linen closet housed towels, sheets (most of them poorly folded), extra pillows, blankets, cleaning supplies, rags, extra toilet paper, baby bathtubs, potty seats...and about 3 years worth of toilet paper wrappers. There was stuff in there that I forgot we had. God, this is embarrassing. Okay here we go.
Before
Ack! Sorry you had to see that. Looking at it now, I can't believe I took so long to clean it all up. As you can see, I couldn't even stand in there, let alone see the floor. To organize it, I pulled everything out and organized them into piles: towels, sheets (according to bed size), beach towels, blankets, cleaning supplies, rags, trash, and 'attic'. I bought 6 stacking baskets to house the towels and most of the sheets. I wish I had at least 2 more of those baskets actually, so next time I go to Target, I'll probably pick some more up.
Towels got put away along the edge of the wall, and sheets along the back. The wooden bin on the floor now holds all of my cleaning rags. There's a spot next to the rags for the bucket (lovingly known as our puke bucket).
Cleaning products got put away into a big bin with a lid. Other miscellaneous items are also placed on the shelves. I turned the mirror around so I can actually use it if I need it.
Pillows, extra blankets/comforters are organized and on the top shelf.
So there you have it! And it's stayed clean for over a week now! Hopefully I won't let it get back to the "Land of The Lost" again. On to the next!
