Annnddd the closet organization continues! Will it ever be done!? It’s taking me forever. Ha. Oh well.. progress is progress right!? I’m headed in the right direction and have some organized cabinets to share with you today! Honestly I don’t even know what has been happening in this closet cabinet lately. It has been used for so many things. It held sheets and linens for a while, and then it held all of our ski clothes for a while, and every December I clear it out to hold the kids’ Christmas presents (shhh.. don’t tell them). When the holidays ended I started stashing some travel items along with gifts I keep on hand in this space. (I took this pic after I cleared some items out.) I’ve tried different bins and baskets in this space but nothing has really worked well for me. The baskets on the top shelf were way too big and tall for the items I wanted to store and I couldn’t see what was inside. I tried clear stackable bins but they weren’t very deep and I felt like I wasn’t using the space well.

So I started searching for the perfect organizer for this cupboard and landed on these linen storage bins. So excited about them! They come in a set of 4 and are a great price.

They are exactly what I needed! Not too tall and the perfect length and they have a see through mesh window on the front so that I can easily see what’s inside of each bin. Plus they are beautiful. Talk about perfection!

I ordered two sets so that I had 8 total, emptied my messy cupboard and cleaned it out, got clear on what I want to store in this space, and got to work. Ready for the after!?

In NO time I had this situation going on and have to say that I’m in love! Angels definitely sang. Talk about an improvement visually and even more important.. in functionality! This just makes so much more sense for this space and I even have a couple of empty bins on top for extra storage when I need it. As soon as I finished this cabinet I ordered another set of bins to use in Kenny’s closet cabinet and I might order more for the girls. They are perfect for any closet shelves!

I was so inspired with how easy it was to organize my messy closet cabinet that I decided to also tackle my other closet cabinet. It wasn’t quite as messy and I didn’t even remember to take a “before” of this space but here is the “after!” I already had the purse organizers and used them to hold extra wallets and my belt bags. I used these wicker seagrass baskets I’ve had for years to store large items like my ski clothes and a few other things.

So closet progress so far.. shoes and dresses and purses are still looking great!

So is the cupboard right next to them! And the cupboard on the back wall? Let’s see one more before and after because.. why not?

{AFTER}

My work here is done! At least for today.

Tomorrow I tackle my swimsuit drawer.

At some point this closet is going to be completely finished! And I will eat a Cadbury Egg to celebrate! Or some gingerbread depending on how long this project takes me. Ha.

Until then I’ll just keep chipping away.. one section at a time.
