Organizing the Closet Part Deux!


So it’s been 8 days since I started organizing my kitchen/hall closet. If you saw just how very small this closet is, I promise you, you would be judging WAY more than you already are!
I was really only focused on finding a home for all of the shoes… UNTIL… the tension rod that holds all of my closet’s belongings crashed to the stupid floor! It was seriously rage inspiring. I went from zero to furious so quickly for two reasons:

1.) My house is approximately what I imagine the temperature of the surface of the sun to be.

2.) The cat’s litter box is in that closet and things fell in it…eeewww.

That was motivation to find appropriate homes for the orphaned items hanging out in the closet. Also, I organized all of my reusable grocery bags. Going green is great and all but having the bags everywhere was making me want to go out and burn some Styrofoam. I hung my biggest reusable bag on a hanger and put all of the smaller ones inside of it. Voila! I no longer feel the need to spite the environment.

As for the shoes that were scattered everywhere and taking over my life, I neatly placed the pairs that are worn daily on the bottom of the closet. Everyone else ended up in one of two places: the shoe hangy apparatus that now resides on the closet door OR on the top shelf of the closets of the individuals to whom they belong.
