I grew tired of stuffing piles of sloppy sheets into whatever empty nooks I could find in my linen closet. So I decided it wouldn't be that horrible to reorganize it if I could find some cute containers to make me dread the project less.
I just went to the Dollar Tree (I stumbled upon the biggest store in the state) and got a bunch of containers all red, tan and blue.
I even watched a YouTube video about how to fold a fitted sheet (why didn't I do that sooner?) And now I think it's easier to fold fitted sheets than regular ones!
The inspiration for this post was
iheartorganizing.blogspot.com for her "linens and the loo" feature this month.
Below are some closeups of the top half and bottom half of my new closet/pantry setup.
Anyway, that's that for now. I don't know how, for just one person I manage to have so much stuff! Everytime I organize a closet or pantry I get rid of so much. But I do know, it feels good to get started on my spring cleaning. Next up, Bachelor finale party!
Oh, and I had to snap a shot of what's going on while I type this. Cuddle bugs on a gloomy day.
Update: Thanks to

Thank you so much Shannon :) And Kelly, I can't wait to see when you post your closet. Drop me a note when you do!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Doesn't it feel good to open up those doors to see such a pretty and organized space? I picked up some baskets and bins from Dollar Tree a couple of weeks ago in the blues and reds. I love finding super affordable organizers that look good too!
