Clutter, Clutter Go Away!

Cleaning has been a blog big deal after the holidays.  There are a few areas in my home that have really been getting on my nerves.  Nerve One - my closet!  Here are a few before and after shots.  In the "after" shot above, I still have some things in there that should find a new home.  On the top shelf in the after photo the box at the left is a diet program that I haven't used in a few years.  On the same shelf at the right are brand new towels in packages.  I need to either send them up to the girls' bathroom, or add them to The Attic.

 

What? Doesn't everyone keep poster board paint samples and bamboo sticks in their closets?

I was really frustrated with all of the stuff on the floor.  I had to   l e a n  w a y   over if I wanted to reach anything over here.  I know the frames on the right need to be dealt with - I have a plan.  I also think I am going to hang a pocket shoe holder on this wall.  How do you all store your shoes?  On those organization shows they generally show them boxed with a photo at the end.  Personally, I don't like digging in and out of boxes.

I'm moving the glitter Christmas leaves out, but the vacuum bags are staying.

Ahh.  

The jeans got put on hangers.  The pumps need to go in a shoe holder, but the black GYM BAG that has been sitting on the floor for over a year finally got a home.  I little weeding out still needs to be done.  You probably can't tell, but there is a toilet paper holder and it's hardware in a bag at the front right side.  I haven't gotten to the left side of this area yet (the Sketchers are my daughters). 

I got rid of a big bag of clothes that I wasn't wearing - or never have worn - I found some things with tags that didn't get returned.  So NOT cheap or chic!  I hope this wasn't too real for anyone, it's starting to feel too real to me!  (Yes, I know I'm blessed to have a big closet.)

Don't Forget:
