Ross and I try hard to be clean and neat and tidy. The main level of our home, except for the kitchen table is generally clean, vacuumed, and orderly. Our office is a disaster with a mind of it's own, but the rest of the house seems to do okay.
I've been meaning for some time to work on our closet. It was a disaster, see.
Clothes every where, shoes everywhere, overflowing hampers galore! It was time for a change. Do you ever get a bit clostrophobic when things like this are out of order? I do. There was only one thing to do in a situation like this - head to IKEA.
I had a little drawing and a vision of how to clean up the closet and yesterday was the perfect day to tackle this project because Ross had the day off and was willing to paint. You see, that was another problem - we had primed the closet but never really painted it properly.
By the end of a long day (projects, messes, teething grumpy snotty baby, etc.) we got things back in order and have a finished product that looks like this:

I am so proud. We have matching hampers, organized and color coded clothes and shoes, and room to spare. It was easily determined last night that Ross has WAY more clothes than me and he was a brave, big boy and finally parted ways with some items I have never seen him wear in the 6 years we've been hanging out.
This feeling of "clean house" is infectious. I wonder what room I'll hit up next? Maybe, I can come to your house and throw some of your junk away?

You would die if you saw my closet. It doesn't matter how big or small my space is, it does not ever look organized. I have three different shoe organizers and I still have shoes on the floor. Someday...
Come on over I am constantly battling the clutter. Although that is typically downstairs and consists of the days dishes and toys! Closets I must say aren't as neat as yours turned out (very beautiful I might add) but aren't too bad either. I think Brian would die of laughter if I suggested we cleaned out and organized the closet. When I get the bug, which is every couple of months, I do it without his knowledge.
