During my latest round of marathon cleaning, I’m tackling everything, including the closets. I’ve started cleaning in the worst room in the house, my bedroom. That’s where everything that doesn’t have a home gets shoved. The rest of the house isn’t bad at all, but this room is horrid.
I tackled the “big” closet yesterday, going through all my clothes that were in there, cleaning off the top shelf of all random junk (half of which wasn’t even mine to begin with), removing hangers that I just won’t use (I despise those wire ones) and cleaning the floor. What a project that was!
Ignore the date in the corner of these photos, Kidlet messed with my camera settings again, and I didn’t notice until this morning. Look at that mess! Though I’m sure there are folks with even worse closets. I ended up filling a giveaway bag with a lot of the clothes from this closet, and have started hanging up the clothes that were stuffed into bureau drawers. What I didn’t get rid of at any rate. :) For now I think I’m going to use the bureau as storage space, until I can get it out of here altogether. Its a huge six drawer bureau, and I don’t need that. Just a three or four small one would do.
I also went through my shoes. And got rid of several pairs. Seriously, why was I keeping three pairs of shoes (all the same type, make etc, just different colors) that were proven to be uncomfortable again and again? Didn’t make sense to me either, so out they go! Also tossed a pair of shoes that whenever I wear them I slide all around in…and they’re open toed sandals. Goodbye!

Tada!
