AND TODAY....
Opened the craft/homeschooling cupboard under the stairs and ORGANIZED IT.
I am absolutely AMAZED at the AMOUNT of
And here...is the finished product. Ahhhhh. Can you feel the serenity? Everything has a place. The top shelf is craft material, the middle is homeschooling books and 'stuff', and the bottom is paper, puzzles,games,toys ect.
Here is a closer look. See how deep the cupboard is? Beautiful. I like the 'chalk boards' on the colourful bins. When I'm completely finished with the organizing, I'll be able to write their names, and what is inside the bins, and perhaps what they need to do for the day.
They can also grab what they want, and SEE what is in the cupboard to create whatever they want that day.
Of course...this is the BEST PART....
The closed door.
I still have to go through all the material I have and see specifically what is appropriate for them for the year. However that is another day. For now...I'm finished...and satisfied.

wow what a big accomplishment. i've started going through all 9 bins of clothes for the kids and seeing what will come out next and what needs to come out for the baby etc.
I give it a week and then it will look like it did before.
In two months you will have just as much junk in it as you did before. Junk in a closet just breeds.
Luv ya
Dad
Im glad to hear your feeling better about it all. The closet looks great. How nice to have such a space for such things.
Okay - that does it - I'm now boggled - totally boggled. How do you do it - organizing - accomplishing - you continue to amaze me.
That check list alone would be enough to make me sit down and cry - And you got it all done!
Beautiful closet!! How many times have you walked by and opened the door just to look at the beautiful organization? (Or am I the only one that does that?)
check list happened over the course of months...little bits at a time or I would go crazy as well.
And no...I don't walk by it and open the door. This IS just you ;)

I walk by and open closets/cupboards I've recently organized - it makes me feel so go-o-o-o-od!
So jealous of the closet space!
Great organizing job too!
