Resolution #1: Clean Closet

My first NY Resolution was to get our closet back to neutral ground. It has been out. of. control!For months and months we’ve (I’ve) piled clothes up, thrown shoes everywhere, hid things I didn’t know what to do with when company came over, laid clothes on top of hanger rods that I was too lazy to hang up, and our winter clothes storage bins have been hogging space. To get dressed or even find a matching pant to a shirt takes some acrobatics and superior navigational skills
This is embarrassing, but if it helps you get motivated to clean up the space behind the curtain in your room, then worth every shocking picture! Here she is:
Poor closet
Gasp!
 

Okay that was painful. 
So the decluttering process began, the goodwill pile establish and several hours later a much happier closet emerged. I organized tops by length of sleeve (thanks Accessorize and Organize for the great tips!) and I even got a little cuckoo on hubby's side and organized by color. Pants got a new home - a far less crowded, less confused home and all the winter storage bins are back where they belong. In storage.  





Still a few too many jeans but I find it almost impossible to find a new home for them!



Now all I need is a mirror! It's so nice to have our closet back and organized. Resolution #1 compete for a whopping $6!
