Spring Cleaning

It's that time of year. Packed up winter clothes, pulled out spring/summer clothes. Decluttered and cleaned all closets. Even our linen and coat closets. Why do those two closets always get so destroyed?!

I went through all my fabric and reorganized that. Then re-sorted the towels. My last project for the linen closet was our sheets. I know EVERYONE knows this pain. I HATE despise folding sheets. So I saw this tip on Pinterest. Oh the smooth lines and less clutter. Fold the sheets and place them in the pillowcase. That way the sheets are always together. Well I might consider this a fail because mine look nothing like the picture, but I still like this way of storage. Mine look like two big lumps. lol (Picture is one I found online, made me laugh- mine looks way better than the fail.)
Next closet, the coat closet. The bottom of it was where I keep all our gift wrap, bags, bows, etc. aka CLUTTER! I bought one of those gift wrap boxes in hopes to get organized....but wouldn't you know it the tall wrapping paper doesn't fit. Fail! So everytime I would open the door out comes wrapping paper. UGH! So think....what to do...ah! I have a ton of buckets in the garage. Perfect! All the wrapping in there and then the container holds all the bags, tissue paper, bows, etc. The floor is clear now. PERFECT!!
Now I'm putting my feet up and repairing my birthday wreath. Back to cleaning tomorrow....the floors, loathe those days. I do a deep cleaning scrub on all the tile floors and polish the hardwoods. (Backbreaking and the reason why I only do it once a month).
