Closet overhaul

Welcome to stage two of organizing and de-cluttering 2012!

Second stage, Closets.

Before:

As you can see, I have exceeded the amount of space those boxes can accomodate. Leaving my closet always looking like a mess. So, I recently upgraded my scarf and stocking boxes. I have found so many new scarfs in the last few months that my box has overflowith. I decided while I was doing that to proporly fold them and colorize. Making finding the correct color a lot easier.

After:

I also moved my hat collection a little higher in my closet to prevent me from damaging them now that the boxes are bigger. I also invested in a few more hooks so now I can hang more. I rediscovered several hats I had forgot about. I love that about reorganizing!

Tying up loose ends

Hello Again!

2012 has some big changes on the horizon, so with that, for me, comes organization and de-cluttering home, closet and my mind.

I started and finished some projects that I have been putting off for quite a while. Earlier this winter I painted my bathroom, which had been in dire need of paint since we had a little fire over a year ago. It was a lavender color before, but now, a pinky peach! It's called "Friendship", and I love it. It came out just the way I wanted it too. I think it matches my original buttercup with gold fleck original 50's tile nicely. I found this great 60's peach wicker shelf.

 These adorable chalkware poodles dated 1957 are also a new addition to the bathroom.

I also found earlier this summer these two spaghetti poodle figurines at a thrift store, one is a planter. That sad little plant is hanging on for dear life. The other was just to cute and tiny to pass up.

I never had any intention of having it a poodle themed bathroom, but I guess it just worked out that way.
There are still some improvements that I would like to make, but I like to do things in steps when I have extra money. That way I buy things I really like, rather then things that will work in a pinch.
