Cleaning out my Closet

September 29th, 2008

I have a dirty secret, my closet was horrible. It was cramped, stuffed, and filled with way too much stuff. I knew something had to be done, so I picked out an evening and decided to tear into my mess of a closet.

I dug out everything, and I really mean everything, and I threw it all on my side of the bed. I then went through it all, piece by piece, and shoe by shoe. I cleaned out a bag of clothing for the MOPS Sister Swap sale, and I threw out 1/2 of a trash bag of just junk.

I rearranged my clothes, and my bags too. I’m so happy with the results. I hope that this Winter (when we are all stuck indoors) I’ll finally get around to painting my closet and shelves. I might just invest in a shoe rack, or two to help keep me organized also.

Now if I can just get motivated and clean out the boy’s closet too…

    ohhhh, it’s so hard to keep up with the boys clothing! I’m working on that now. Bought all those winter clothes at the consign sale so now I am weeding out the summer/ and filling drawers with winter. There is a tiny closet in their room that I dream of buying racks and shelving for- but never seem to find the time or money. You should take a pic of your “after” closet all organized.

    Thanks Heather! I’ll definitely get some pictures up once I have my closet finished. I have the paint, but I haven’t found the time to get to it…

    It sounds like you have a great plan your your boy’s closet! My boy’s closet is a MESS!!! I really need to get it organized, but it is kinda tough. They like to run around and play in their room while I’m trying to clean, so I don’t get too much accomplished.

    Nico- Have you planned your Oct. menu yet?? I’m looking for inspiration.

    Thanks Heather! I’ve been trying to clean shelf by shelf in the evenings, but my progress is really slow. The Sister Swap is this Friday, and I really want to have the boy’s closet done by Friday.

    I’ve already got my menu planned, and I think I might post it today. I’m looking forward to tasty Fall foods :)
