Organization wiz

I've been obsessing lately. Not about art supplies or makeup at the moment, but organizational items. I've really been wanting to get things together in my home so that I can use the small space we have to its ultimate potential. I mean whats the point in feeling cluttered and not being able to find anything? I'm a bit type A on most days, but this blows me into a Type A personality superhero with a cape. Just to clarify, no the majority of my closets still are "befores".

First I worked on my linen closet. I forgot to take a before picture. This is good and bad. Bad because you don't get to see the before nastiness, but good because I would totally be mortified to show you how sad and messy it looked before. Really..it was horrifically bad.



















I bought all the green and white fabric containers at Target. The top shelf with all my medicine supplies have to be kept up there because of Leo. I can't keep them in my guest bathroom because he can access all the areas there and I don't want to still have child locks on the front of the cabinets. It all fits up there pretty good. I made the tags with white scrapbooking tags and inked them with distress blue ink. Then I sprayed them with green mist spray. I stamped the labels on them with a CTMH stamp alpha set.













I now can fit my vacuum in this hall closet which makes me very happy. Before it wouldn't fit and I'd have to shove it out into the garage. I really need one more closet in this house like a coat closet, but unfortunately living in FL they don't typically put these in.

I also wanted to share the lovely cool postcard from Lauren. She sent it to me from Hawaii. How cool right? It totally made my day. Thanks Lauren!! I love it. Today I had to turn in my car to get fixed. I hope it comes out looking good. I'm so nervous about it. I had to cancel my surgery because of insurance reasons, so I will be around in blogland. Love you all! Thanks for stopping by!

I am green with envy Gina. Great looking closet. I would love mine to be that organised. I love the idea of the pretty co-ordinating baskets.
