In case you don’t already know… I really like organizing. I think it is important for everything to have a place, that way you never lose anything. Justin thinks I am annoying because everything has to go back in it’s place. Even though he is pretty organized himself(thank goodness.) In our apartment everything had it’s place already, but here in our new home that’s not the case. So, I spent my rainy Saturday going through everything that hadn’t been touched since we moved in. This is what I was tackling…
This is the closet in the guest room I have yet to paint. Just a mess of junk shoved in a closet. Next I will show the other guest closet in the room I have painted gray. I didn’t get a good before picture because I had already started removing some items.
I had already taken out a bin and our suitcases.
So my first step is to get into those bins and find out what’s inside…
First up some random decorations and kitchen stuff…
and tons of extra picture frames that I didn’t even remember I had(sorry about the blurry picture.) I sorted through, took some frames that I wanted to use, moved some things to the kitchen and put some holiday decorations to the side. Next up…
Christmas decorations, I didn’t unpack this bin because I knew it was all Christmas decorations. I did however add a couple that I found in the previous bin.
Fall and halloween decorations, a whole bin full. I did empty this one.
I found a couple odd items in this bin and also…
some Easter decorations. I repacked the bin a little better with the halloween and fall things first.
I still had remaining room so I packed in the Easter stuff as well.
Next I found this bin which was full of Justin’s school and accounting books and folders. Pretty cool stuff in here. I added a few other accounting books I found in a duffel bag, then I closed this sucker up.
The next bin had a little bit of everything, Justin let me know he had packed this one. It had some dog stuff, some decorations, a cooler, a poster, some paper, a bag with cords in it, a hunting license and hunting hat. I just put the items in this one in piles and moved them around the house to whichever room they belong. I then took the remaining things and packed them into the empty bins. I had picture frames and decorations left. So I packed one bin with frames, then the other with decorations. I then labeled all of the bins, so when christmas comes around I don’t have to open every bin to find the christmas stuff.
I then put the bins back in the guest closet, eventually I think they will end up in the attic but for now they will remain where they are.
It really does not look too different, I wish I had gotten a real before picture with suitcases and other junk stuffed in.
As for the other closet…
Neither look too extremely changed, but I now know everything that is in those closets and it is all easy to find.
