Did you get a lot done this weekend? I did a lot, but most of it wasn't post material. However, I did clean out the upstairs linen closet that the kids use. It is really small, so my options were pretty limited.
Unfortunately, the closet is in the hallway so I did not have enough clearance to take a full shot of the entire closet. Not much I can do about that!
Here are pictures that I was able to get. Originally, the closet had everything piled up on the shelves. I just added some baskets and fun laminated tags to help keep it a little bit more organized.
Just a few, everyday cleaning items are kept in the closet so the kids can easily get to them as needed. Yeah...don't wake me up from my dream. :)
Extra pillows on the top shelf.
This is the best full-length picture I could get.
And here is a tip that I'm sure most of you may already do, especially if you are pinners...
When you need a clean set of sheets, you just grab the pillow case and go - no need to try and match up the pieces as you rummage through your closet. All you need to make your bed is inside the pillow case.
As you can see, I do not iron my sheets and pillow cases. I did that as a kid and it was the one thing that I swore I'd never do as an adult. Ok, one of many things. ;)
Love your home,

ReplyDeleteWanna come do my linen closet now? LOL! Fantastic! Never heard of the pillow case thing. Great idea! I'll do that... When I get around to organize it. HA HA HA! :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you shared about the keeping the sheet sets together. I have 3 separate piles going in my linen cupboards. I think I just might have to borrow this idea for my kids too. I also love the blankets you have. They all look so cozy!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but the "return to closet" tag makes me laugh...but it's so smart!
ReplyDeleteYour closet looks great! Those tags are adorable, and I love the idea of using the basket. Cute! But mostly? I just want to grab one of those cozy blankets!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! Love the little note on the cleaning crate to return back to closet. :) Great ribbon! Come do my linen closet next? :)
