I have to admit, today I was unmotivated, not because it’s my closet. I want to blame it on the weather. It’s just sooooo gloomy out today. So blah…. This Master of mine came to mind and did some talking me into doing this challenge.

He kept saying “must focus…. focus….  must focus.”  That got me motivated and get to it. I DID! Took a while though.

Here’s the BEFORE:   Now, this closet was not there when I moved in. Literally had no closet but used the coat closet for about 8 months. Thanks to my Jack-of-all-trades Dad, I have a closet in the bedroom! This is a very simple closet but nice enough. I even asked him to make shelves on the side which I LOVE!

If you’re really analyzing everything in this picture… you’ll see one shoe that doesn’t have its pair. It’s holding the right hand door to stay open. My dad isn’t perfect. OK?

I had the top shelf organized and over time it just got messy. I just got too lazy to straighten it out.

The messy shelves

 

Here are the AFTER:

Now, this closet holds my work clothes, nice clothes being hung. I just switched around some of the summer clothes to the back end of the closet. I know… overdue! The summer clothes will be back in no time. I WONT procasinate on that cuz I LOVE spring and summer! The way it’s set up are grouped up by pants, skirts, tops, jackets….  I also got rid of few of dockers slacks I guess what you may call them. I don’t like them anymore. No reasons hanging on to them.

The top shelf… All in groups:  FAR left end which is not in the picture are my cardigan sweaters, then next stack is my sweater vests. The next stack are my favorite team windbreakers (Cardinals and the Rams). The next stack are my hoodies. And the stack at the end are my sweatshirts that I don’t wear often but still my favorites.

 

My shelves are mostly sweaters that I wear for work or church, grouped mostly by colors. The bottom shelf holds my 3/4 sleeves tops that I use for work or church sometimes. I didn’t want to pack them away because some of them are thin sweaters and I like them too for everyday.

Now… since I rearranged my shelves, I needed to make room for some of the sweaters an found my short sleeves tops. I kept them out for such as wedding…. nice tops etc… I took them out and moved it somewhere else. I decided I oughta tackle this task while I had the motivation!  This cubed shelves (I don’t know what to call it) has my casusal clothes such as long sleeve tops, turtle necks, jeans…

Here’s the BEFORE:

Here’s the AFTER:

ALL CLEAN!!! I laid out my jeans on top so this way I won’t pile anything on top of  my jeans. Hopefully that does the trick. If it doesn’t, I’ll have to find something to put on the top of the shelf so I won’t pile anything on top, like pictures and such. 

Now my bedroom is completely all straighten up! Let’s see how long I keep up with that. Check with me in a month and I’ll take picture of the room.   OK….. I opened my mouth. Now I better keep my word but I’d rather you to ask me in a month instead of a year later. I don’t want to be overwhelmed like that again next year. So, one month should take 5 minutes to be cleaned up. And, actually, it will definitely be clean again when I pack away my long sleeves and bring out my summer tops to be put in there. So, I’ll have to do this again.

But as for any other areas, feel free to follow up with me such as my desk in the bedroom etc…

 

Now…. After 19 days… plus 2 more days to come…. Check this out….

The TJMaxx bag is what needs to be thrown away. Mostly papers that were piled up on my desk and plus few other things. The box on the chair is full, few things piled on that, and the green bin is full of clothes that I’m gonna give away. The bin was full from the dressers. Then that whole stack is from in the closet. So, I did pretty good!

Ahhhh…..

May the organizing force be with you.
