Tackle It Tuesday

Today Tuesday was officially TACKLED! I've wanted to participate in this Blog event for quite some time, because, let's face it, there's always some corner of the house that needs some help. Okay, lots of corners, but we're not going there. Aside from Livers' future room/storage/catchall/what the heck happened room, there is one sore spot for me in my house: the bathroom closet. I at the very least always make sure the towels are folded neatly (and color coded...and stacked by size), but for some reason the rest of the closet looks like CVS and a laundromat collided, spewing their contents everywhere. Case and point, here are the BEFORE pictures:



Well not anymore! This morning I took everything out of the closet that needed sorting and put it on the kitchen table. I first threw out any things that were trash/expired, and then took the remaining contents and sorted them into categories.



After sorting I went through the house and assessed what storage bins I already had so that I could repurpose them and save money. Then I made a list of what bins I needed based on the categories the objects had been sorted into, and Livers and I headed to Wally World to purchase the storage bins. After she went to bed I pulled out my trusty labelmaker that I received for Christmas and began the process of putting objects into bins and labeling them. Finally, after about an hour, I had success! Here are the pictures of my new, much improved bathroom closet.



I even went so far as to organize the medicine cabinets and my jewelry, since I was already on a roll. The entire project was well worth the time, effort, and money, because now I can easily find things. I hope to carry this over every week so that I'll have a happier, more organized home.

Cheers!
