We live in an older home, built in 1960. Therefore the rooms and closets are smaller. Which doesn’t bother me as I really don’t think we need so much stuff. So this project should assist us to fit comfortably into our home once again.
Closet Before: Hubby and I share a very small closet. Due to the size of the closet, I have to keep my off season clothes in bins in the garage. I don’t see that changing even with this project. As you might be able to guess it is not very easy to find matching shoes I want to wear each day. It is a bit of a dig!
I completed the closet de-clutter in three separate mini tasks. The shoes were all removed and only the ones I truly needed and love remained. No more keeping shoes that are not comfortable or hurt my feet. While it might not sound significant but I reduced my shoes from 26 pairs to 16.
Secondly, clothes – since I had recently switched my clothes around for a new season, I only have a couple of things to donate. I donated an entire garbage bag of clothes when switching clothes around this fall.
Lastly, closet shelves – reorganized and found permanent home for items. It is so much easier to maintain a de-cluttered area if you have a specific home for items.
Closet After: Do you see that empty space on the shelves??? Empty space is good!! Only shoes I love and that feel good to wear!!!
Donation Pile: These items have already found their way to Goodwill by the time I am typing this. I hope to make a bi-weekly trip to Goodwill to bless others with my excess.
Wishing you a wonderful week and much success with your goals for 2014!!
