Simplifying The Master Closet

I clean and purge our closet regularly. It was time again =) I didn’t get a chance to get a shot before my husband pulled out all of his things. This shot does show his suits still in.

Before

We share our closet with the two little ones that still sleep in our room. We have bedrooms for them- we just like them close, as all of the other bedrooms are upstairs. It also needs to be the temporary home of clothes that have grown too small and can be passed on. And it HAS been the home of a small music store.

I like for the short side to be free of clothes. Fail.

Our closet is also home to games. Some were out at the time of this shot.

 

After

Guitars and amp gone. Stored clothes sorted into sell and giveaway.

In case you noticed, and were wondering- everyone in our home has their own color of clothes hanger. We also keep white for backup. The pesky white ones are also out. I just didn’t have the energy for a pic. My clothes are also always organized left to right as follows: jeans short sleeved shirts, long sleeved shirts, skirts and dress pants, dress shirts and dresses. Same for Leah.

My husband’s are a little differently arranged. Partly because he doesn’t wear skirts and partly because he is a preacher, and his off duty clothes are way in the back.

Sweet empty floor. The blue tub will stay to collect hand me downs we want to hang on to.

Games in order according to size. That is my brand of OCD.

And I don’t have a lot of shoes, but they all live here, except my boots. And my favorite shoes, Tubes, which were on my feet at the time.

I hope to scratch off one more area this week. We’ll see- we have to go to TN to get Rick’s mom this weekend, and she will be with us a week.

My failed goal so far is our schedule. Things have been a little nutty. We have stuck to it…1% of the time. {sigh} I am however finished selecting Bible verses for our family memorization. We will be working through Proverbs. I have selected 1:7, 1:8, 1:22 and 2:6 to work on for the next few weeks, one at a time. We do them for a week, unless we nail them sooner. We learned this week’s verse fast and are moving on tonight.

2 out of 3 isn’t bad- right?

I am really enjoying 3 new goals each month with this challenge! If you haven’t joined in yet, consider next month, or better yet- jump in now!
