With the Super Bowl over, we have a new line-up. This was the scene in my carport not too long ago.
These are the yet another grouping in the endless parade of doors in this house. In the interior of the house alone, we have 12 doors that have had to be refinished. (Nope, that's not including the various cabinet doors.)
If you don't recall, check out this to see exactly what is involved in getting the doors into hanging shape. After hours of sanding, de-gooking and painting, we finally have closet doors hanging up in the last two rooms of the house. Yes!!! This means that I can join the hoards of others who stuff closets full and then shut the doors to hide it. Oh wait, no knobs on the doors means I probably shouldn't shut them yet... Hmmmm
Okay, with the advent of the new year, comes a plethora of weight losing tips, organization ideas, and a general need to revamp your life. My minor effort in this was to re-do my linen closet. As a minor confession/excuse, I've didn't had a linen closet in the house I grew up in. Sheets went into the bottom drawer of a dresser and extra towels were stacked neatly in a basket. There was no closet space. Now, I have an entire closet for my linens. Yikes. What to do...
What you see above was the current state of my closet. It was full of mismatched blankets, rags, sheets, and then a couple of things such as a smoke detector and holiday decorations. The first step was pulling EVERYTHING out. My queen size bed was over-flowing with stuff. I then refolding everything, stacking similar items together. I sorted out mismatched things and made a separate stack for things headed to the garage sale. The rags got pulled and moved to the laundry room for easier access and better storage. I had used a Christmas giftcard from The Container Store (best store ever!) to purchase among other things, a couple of blanket and sweater bags. Clean sheet sets went into the sweater bags to make pulling complete sets easy. I used the blanket bags to store extra pillows and keep them dust free. With the crazy Texas weather, we use blankets randomly, so there isn't really much point in putting them in bags. Extra pillows, however, aren't used as much and I wanted to keep them dust free. 
After getting everything moved back in, these are the final results. What do you think?
