We are officially organized!

Ever since we moved in (1.5 years ago, if you're counting) I have been saying, "One of these days, I am going to go through all of our closets and organize them." We still had boxes just waiting to be unpacked, which were clearly full of things we desperately need since we haven't seen or missed them since... oh, 2008.

Anyway, now that we are DONE remodeling the basement (!!!), I decided that it was time to force myself to go through with my pledge. Best decision of my life. I am so excited about officially being organized that Noah thinks it's funny to whisper words like "alphabetical order" and "label maker" in my ear in a sexy voice.

Bathroom drawer- used to be full of miscellaneous hair ties and floss.

Towel cabinet- sorted by function (we have: nice towels that match our bathroom, top left; nice wash cloths that match nice towels, top center; extra set of bath rugs, bottom left; rags to be used for cleaning, bottom center; and old towels to be used for cleaning dogs and other things, NOT to be confused with nice towels that match our bathroom, bottom right).

My makeup, which used to be in random bags thrown in a closet, and my jewelry, which you could previously pick up in one wad. As for the labeling- I couldn't help myself.

I assure you, this is the cleanest this desk has ever been.

Oh. My. Yes. An entire 3-drawer tupperware for ribbon.

Our wrapping supplies shelf, bags stacked in order by size.

Sometimes, I just stand and gaze into our closets, where you can now see the floor. It's amazing how relaxed I feel to know that our house is free of mysterious boxes with mysterious contents collecting mysterious dust and/or mysterious dead bugs.

  1. It's like reading a page of my own thoughts...

    I spent two weeks doing this to our house after we moved in because I couldn't stand the thought of the wrapping paper/bag shelf being haphazard. Glad to see I'm not alone :)
