The last thing that is on my mind when cleaning my house is my closet but let me just tell you. Big mistake. I found things that I didn’t even know I still had because it’s kind of turned into the dumping grounds for everything I own. There were numerous shoes that I had long forgotten about. Cute scarves that haven’t seen the light of day for at least two years. Not to mention the overall chaos of my filing system. It never used to be this way….until I had kids. Yes, we blame our little angels for everything, don’t we? But it is true. My closet used to be a place I enjoyed going to each day…not anymore. So I made the leap and dug right in.
I started out by taking all of my accessories and bags out of the closet and onto the bed. I got rid of the items I no longer used and organized the ones I will in the way that I would return them to the closet.
Now for the shoes. I’m beginning to think there may be something to that whole place your shoes in a clear box so you remember what they look like. I thought I was being organized by keeping the boxes they came in. But really, not so much. Out of sight out of mind. Again I took them all out of their boxes and lined them up getting rid of the shoes I don’t plan to wear again. This was tough because that nagging voice kept saying…”well maybe you will”.
Bye, Bye Boxes that have cluttered up my closet!
So now that the accessories, bags and shoes are under control I will be posting part II tomorrow for clothes and putting everything back in its place. Wow! What a difference is all I can say. Please come back to tomorrow and check it out!
