I was crafting a lot yesterday and Daniel was worried I would not finish my goal....but I did! It took me about 45 min.
My first task was to bring all of the linen from the coat closet to the basement.....this is what the pile looked after I was done organizing HALF of it:
I have come to a conclusion....even though I am a bit of a Linen A Holic I think I have ENOUGH LINEN! At the time of cleaning the closet out I had 4 beds in the house made....which ment that EVERYTHING I was organizing was EXTRA. Now the ONLY other time I need anything is if we have guests or the kids have stomach viruses and we need to change the sheets a lot. Other wise I need a set on the bed, a set in the wash and a set in the closet......right now I have a set on the bed, 3 sets in the wash and 2 more in the closet. Today Daniel, who is even MORE of a linen a holic then I am, asked me if we should pick up just a few sets of sheets for the guest bed.......just in case....in case of WHAT? A zombie apocalypse? And if so how will more off white queen size sheets help us? No I say....we do not need anymore sheets! However Aryeh only has one duvet cover, and since he DOES in fact need two of those we got him a new one today......and now I am DONE! Unless we throw linen away no more is coming into my house!
My label maker is MIA at this time but when I find it I will mark where everything is in the closet. Right now it goes all pillow cases (and two duvets) on the top, queen on the second shelf and twin on the third with 3 down comforters on the bottom.
Next to the closet I have two bins, one with extra pillows and mattress covers and one with a feather bed that we put on top of otherwise not comfortable beding situations.
So let me present to you (fan fair!!!!) The linen closet!!!! (please note it is organized even though it doesnt look like it is)
It looks awesome! And kudos on cleaning while sick btw, I can never get myself to get anything useful done while under the weather. You cleaned up so quickly and it's so organized now, you've inspired me to go home and tackle some of my messes that are driving me crazy. Thanks Rach!
