This week I have been organizing my linen closet. My problem was containment. Stacks of linens would slide sidboard, hand towels would get lost in the pile, and stock pile items mixed in with each other making it hard to know how much of anything I had. So, I followed the steps I outlined in my Monday closet organizing post, and set to work devising an organizing system for the items that “live” in my hallway closet. Most closets are like large boxes. How do you effectively organize all of your belongings in this three dimensional space? It is like a 3-D puzzle, and making it all fit can challenging. Here are the processes I use when I am tackling a closet organizing project. It is Day 10 of the Spring Cleaning Party at Simple Mom, and what a party it has been.
