Project Simplify: Master Closet

Ok, Here goes. I am participating in a 5 week challenge with Simple Mom to declutter 5 hot spots in my home and get organized! I started out the week very excited about this....but it has proved more challenging than I had thought. I always love the finished product when I organize something, but getting the job done is hard work with three kids, a husband, and a full time job to worry about. But, I managed to get the closet done. And boy did it need it! I had everything in there from Wrapping paper to scrapbooking stuff, to carseats, sewing machines, trash... I'm actually a little embarrassed that it got so out of hand. I think I will def need to do this more often and now that it's done, it should be easier to keep it that way. So here are some before and after shots of my closet.....Proceed at your own risk! :)

Notice, There is NOTHING left on that top shelf! What the heck did I have up there?? All of it was either stuff I handed down to my daughter (purses I never use and stuff), charity, or garage sale. Some was able to be relocated. The clothes that were in there were widdled down quite a bit as well. I have a nice pile for donation going. I got rid of all the hangers that werent the plastic ones I like too. I think it turned out pretty well. I still need a shoe rack, but it is sooo much better! Yay! Can't wait to see what hot spot is next. Hope this motivates someone to do that same and get organized!
