28 Day Cleaning/Organizing Challenge (Day 11 - Master Closet)

His Side

Her Side

 If you see into another person's closet...does it reflect their soul???  Hopefully, in my case - not.

So, it's gotten a little out of hand in there.  Ordinarily, I'm pretty tidy behind these doors. For me, all my clothes are in here (I don't have a bureau).  However, this isn't his whole wardrobe.  Probably because the size of his items are larger, he also needs 6 drawers of furniture (which, you'll see at a later date).  I'm not bitter...nooooo.  Honestly, having minimal clothing makes my life easier.  I don't like choices, they cloud my judgment.  I digress...

Anyway, as you can see the closet is divided up into quadrants:

     HER SIDE:
          Containers:
               Socks, Handbags/Belts, Lingerie/Bathing Suits,

               Underwear/Bras, Sleeveless TShirts, and Shorts

          Shelves:

               Long Sleeve, Short Sleeve and Sleeveless TShirts,
               Sweats/Yoga Pants and Jeans
          Hanging:
               Sportswear, Capris, Pants and Skirts
               Dresses, Button-Up Sweaters, Pullover Sweaters,
               Button-Down Shirts and Sleeveless Camis
          Shoes

When organizing, I place items on the shelves by color.  The end result looks fabulous!!!

(There were items that were removed and will be donated.  Sadly, a few pairs of shoes wound up in the bag.  Sniff, sniff.)

28 Day Cleaning/Organizing Challenge (Day 10 - Toy Chest)

When you turn the lights out...they multiply.  Toys, toys everywhere!!!

               

Well, if you are like me, you'd like to tame the beast.  The pictures above are really only a few piles that we have around the house.  My mission is to keep them in two places, separated per child (we have a schoolager and infant).  

Certain toys, need to be kept away from little hands.  To remedy this, I use containers with a locking mechanism.  Items are placed with like items; for example there are containers for: games (2), cars, super heroes/villains, action figures, mini action figures and LEGOS.

Toys that aren't going to get swallowed go in a basket for easy access.
