Isn't this closet like a little breath of fresh air? Oh, how I would love for my closet to look like this! Unfortunately, mine more resembles a heap of something you'd find outside the dressing room of K-Mart. Not that I don't like K-Mart (and their Martha Stewart line of products), but sometimes they aren't the tidiest store in town. Anyway, my closet needs a little organization.
This is especially pertinent now, not only because I am in full "nesting" mode, but my husband begins his 4-day drive home tonight after being deployed. As it stands right now, he'll have nowhere to put his clothes! When he moved out I was initially so pleased with the extra feet of closet rod I found, and I used it liberally! I didn't store my summer clothes like I normally would, when I brought out my maternity clothes I didn't store my pre-pregnancy things. Since I nurse my babies I'll also need to store all my one-piece church dresses that don't lend themselves well to being hiked up under a blanket and having a baby stuffed under them.
Somehow, all the drawers in Sweetie's dresser are also full of random things--photos I didn't want the children to play with, socks without mates, and a multitude of other miscellaneous things. If I don't remedy this, his socks, underwear, and tee shirts will all be homeless.
My project for the next couple of days will be to transform my closet and drawers. I really don't have much I can purge or donate because CLUTTER IS MY ENEMY and I am always decluttering and purging. That means I will need to find places for everything. If only I could remember where I kept everything before Sweetie left! I'll probably steal at least a little room in Bun and Muffin's closet, since all their clothing is in drawers anyway. But this is hardly a long-term solution; I may be going to Target later on today and I will see if they have some of those under-the-bed storage boxes.
If I get time (and have the energy) I'd also like to go through my underwear drawer. It's currently a tangle of pantyhose, underwear I don't think will fit post-baby, tacky socks with embroidered kitties, and tiny lacy things that will not be appropriate in any way for nursing.
...but that's another project, and another post!
