ORGANIZATION{POST 2}:CLOSET MAYHEM/ORGANIZING CRAFTS

YEAH...THIS IS THE AFTER...

 

BUT THIS WAS IT BEFORE...

(Sorry...phone pics)

I am slightly humiliated.

This picture was actually after we removed about 40% of the stuff off the floor. The floor was M.I.A. for months!

Oh the SHAME!

Then we moved it all into the bedroom...WOWZER! Reality set in at this point...

"Nelly...you have a problem....a closet mayhem problem!!"

Seriously...I can't really remember having an organized closet...ever!

My life was never "relaxed" enough to get it to that point!

Well, I have decided that it is about time to focus on my home, you know, a HOME... that place that we pay a BIG mortgage for in order to spend about 12-15 hours a day in which is about half of our lives?!?!  

YEAH...THAT place!

:)

 The biggest problem that I had with my closet (AMONG QUITE A FEW PROBLEMS) was organizing my crafts! I REFUSE to get rid of them! I will (eventually) make something with that left over silk flower from a bridal bouquet I made for a friend 3 years ago or that white pom pom trim from my daughter's crib bedding (she is six now)!

Yep...waste not, want not!

I had to (very hesitantly) ask my organization (intervenor) and DIY partner in crime, Sarah, "Am I a hoarder?!?!"

She gently let me know, that is not the case!

Phew!! Thank the Lord!!

There IS hope!

So, with ZERO moolah...I had to work with what I had to organize all that crafting crap stuff I have accumulated.

I bought a bunch of plastic shoe boxes for like $1 with the intention of putting my shoes in them...well, OBVIOUSLY, that didn't happen.  So, they became my new craft organization plan!

Then I needed labels.

I WILL be locating chalkboard labels (or dry erase) when the budget allows, but til then, clear packaging tape and a sharpie will do!

I am totally NOT DONE with this closet! This will go from Closet Mayhem to Closet FABULOUS...You just wait and see!

It will take some time and patience...but I am determined!!!!!

I have some other cool organization ideas that I implemented that I will share soon!

Stay tuned!

(Now I just have to located my husband's new work belt that seems to have disappeared during my quest to organize...ummm. whoops.)

Mucho Love,
