Closet clean up- done!!

 This week is just flying by!  Hard to believe it is already Thursday... Well this closet clean up is finally done!  Take a look at how far it's come!!

Here is where we started... I find that when I don't have a good system in place, 
no matter what I do things become messy. I had tried totes, tubs, drawers and those 
things just were not working for me.



So I thought back to my cord clean up project and how well that worked to give 
everything a place, so I thought I would give it a try here... It really worked!  


Next I needed to find a place for all the first aid and hygiene products. Again I used the over the 
door shoe organizer.  I labeled each slot so that we will know where each item goes. 



 Next I organized our medications, sunscreen & bug spray and our dogs things.

Then I used some of my left over shelf paper from my desk drawer project
 to line a couple of shelves in this closet. I thought a little pop of color would
be great to liven up this space- and I already had it so no extra cost to me!
On this shelf I just have my extra hand soap and sanitizer that I use to 
refill the smaller ones and my spot cleaner. 


Then all I had left was a place to keep the extra toilet paper. 


And with that I am done!! I really love how everything has a place. It makes it easy to find and easy to keep in order. Has anybody else found a great solution to a messy closet? I would love to hear about how you got it organized!

Closet clean up & organize part 1

Well hello!  My project this week is coming along!  I have tried different caddies and tubs for cleaning supplies, and it just hasn't worked for keeping all of the cleaning supplies together. The over the door shoe holder worked so well for my cord organization, I decided to give it a try again. I wanted to use it on the side wall of the closet instead of over the door, so I needed to use hooks to hang it against the wall. There was already a couple of hooks hanging on the wall, but they were not in the right spot for the holes of the shoe organizer. So I added these hooks to hang the organizer...



Here is how I hung the organizer



The shoe organizer also was a little too long because of how the closet is set up, so I cut off the last 2 rows (don't worry, I will reuse that part in another project :)


Then after sorting all of the cleaning products I have, I just slipped them in the pockets! I put like items together, so they are easy just to grab and go. I decided that for us it works better to keep the bathroom cleaning supplies in each bathroom. So I will show you what I made for that later this week! 



So there is the first part of the closet clean up and organize. What are you working on this week? What do you use to keep your cleaning supplies organized?
