Now since I have clean out Brody's closet it's time to reorganize the house. Project 1 the Linen Closet. How does this thing get so wild?! I had a brilliant plan but when I measured the door I was sad to find out the contraption wouldn't fit! NOOOOOOO! My door is only 18 inches and the unit is 17 inches wide. So I had to develop a plan of my own...ek! I still am not 100% but it's pretty much finished.
Before.
It's not too bad but pretty untamed.
After
Top shelf aka the black hole now stores blankets. These come up and down frequently and never are properly folded so it's the most fitting spot because they won't come tumbling down when you open the door.
Next shelf stores towels. Don't worry we have more spare bathroom towels. lol Just got done bathing Murph the other day and I use like 3 on him.
Next stores sheets and beach towels. For the sheets I try the Martha Stewart way of folding but still aren't perfect but love it enough because I'm never searching for the match. I fold the sheet and extra pillowcase, and attempt to fold the fitted sheet and place it all in the other pillowcase. Works perfect and easy to grab.
Next stores fabric/yarn/stuffing. It's color coordinating and my space.
Bottom stores the gift wrapping supplies. The large bags are flat and resting against the left wall. All the other bags I placed within the blue dot dollar store gift bag. Gift boxes are resting against the other wall. In the middle I bought $3 stackable containers from Target (Going back for 1 more). Used my handy dandy label maker (bottom=labels, small boxes, Easter basket wrapping; middle= bows/ribbon; top= tissue paper). Then on each side of the closet I stacked the paper up to the ceiling. If they were out of the wrapper I stuck rubber bands on each end. I'm going to attach an elastic band from each shelf to the wall to hold them in tight (found my elastic last night).
For the shelf labels I just used printing paper cut it to size and taped it in the back.
Total cost for this project $9 for the 3 baskets.
