Today's nap-time project (I have a 2 year old, since I haven't mentioned that yet on this blog) was to organize the front hall closet. It had gotten so out of control that we didn't even put the jackets we wore regularly in it; we just hung them on the back of our kitchen chairs. Sound familiar to anyone? As our son, Nolan, says, "I MAKED A MESS!"
In the closet, we had a box we had yet to unpack from moving to this house (almost a year and a half ago now), jackets that no longer fit any of us, a bunch of old clothes to donate, and approximately 50eleventythousand hangers not being used. Here's what it looked like before:
And here's the after! We now have a place to put our shoes when we come in the house, quite a few less jackets, and even an organizational container for our winter items and for Tater's things.
Now we've just got to make the effort to hang our jackets back up when we come inside.
Job well done, honey! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteHaha yes, good luck keeping it that way. We also keep our jackets on the back of the chairs
ReplyDeleteHahaha - yes I recall that when you two were living at home, I was LUCKY if the jackets made it to the back of the chairs. Usually, they were on the floor or perhaps on the dryer. It is so rewarding to me to see you two fighting this same fight now! On another note, KK - there is a LOT of orange in your house.
