We have two hall closets in the hallway. One has linens, board games, tp, etc. and it's not really hard to keep it organized. The other was a complete nightmare. Basically, if it didn't have a place it got thrown in there. From Marleigh's treats, clothes (yes clothes) and meds, to office supplies, cords and crafts.
Take a look at the before...
Basically as unorganized as anything could be — but have no fear, the Mrs. with the label maker to the rescue! Here is the after...
Let me give you a break down on the supplies I used to make it like this.
• sterile containers (Walmart $3.98 for the smaller ones and 6.98 for the larger ones)
• black dividers (Walmart $4.98)
• sterile divider drawers (Walmart $5.98)
• label maker (of course)
• unorganized closet items
Now we have a hall closet where we can find anything we need. Also, when we move, this will make moving so much easier!
My label maker is my bff. EVERYTHING in my house has a label (almost), lol. Chris thought I was nuts until we moved the tv from the old living room to the new one and he didn't have to guess which cable went to what. He's a believer. I knew I would convert him eventually.
ReplyDeleteHAHA, Terry hasn't seen all of these "fun" yet. Before long though, he might have even his toothbrush labeled! =)
