Festive Cleaning Project

I am still on my festive cleanup rampage. I opened up my front closet door and this is the horror I saw. Winter gear thrown all over the place. I could not take it anymore so the tackle began.

First Step is to empty the closet of all its contents. I love this feeling of taking everything out and getting to the bottom of things for a good clean.

It is amazing how much stuff we can pack into such a small space

I did not plan on investing a single cent into the closet clean up, so I dug through my supply closet and found some leftover wallpaper and paint.

Here I am Wallpapering :)

Looking Better

Shoe organization is one of the most important details for my day. One a typical busy morning of getting two kids out the door for school plus myself to work, there is nothing more annoying than digging through a messy closet to find the other pair to a shoe. I also slipped in our bench to store car keys, mittens, hats, scarves etc, so that when I close up the closet doors it is all out of sight out of mind.

I love the idea of message centers in a busy household. I recently created a chalkboard wall in my kitchen for writing daily memos to each other and I absolutely love it. So I pulled out some leftover chalkboard paint and painted the inside of the closet doors to write daily memos and reminders on.

And so here it is before and After pics of a seasonal closet overhaul.

Thanks for Reading, now get Organizing :)
