Oh boy am I happy or what!! I am feeling so organized at this particular moment.
Take a look at this:
Sadly enough I do not have a before picture. It wasn’t horrible by any means, but nothing matched, and it just wasn’t working for our family.
Last week I was getting ready for our big craft club event and realized that I needed labels on my kids’ “wall pockets” and had been putting it off for several months now. I quickly created these:
I could not be happier with them. Then this week I spent some time helping a neighbor get her home organized, which then lit my own spark to get more organized!!
That’s when the hall closet fell victim to my love affair of plastic totes and labels!
I quickly created labels in Microsoft Word, similar to the kids name tags. I printed them out on full sheets of label paper, and cut them out using my craft cutter.
Then I emptied the ENTIRE closet. Nothing was left behind. I also used this time to do a little spring cleaning, wiping down the shelves, dusting for cob webs, and even threw out a lot of stuff we don’t use anymore.
I purchased the clear totes with red lids from on Amazon. They come in a pack of 12, however you can always get them individually.
I enjoyed this project way too much! Who’s next?
Once I got everything sorted and bins labeled, I moved down to re-stock my bedding bins. I have had these since we remodeled and created this closet, and it will never change. It works so much better having the bedding in bins, rather than trying to have them neatly stacked on the shelves.
The totes are from Ikea, and I picked up the chalkboard labels from the Dollar Tree. Gotta love that!

I'm with you on organization but you should see my pantry 🙂 Of that I'm horrified but my linens are all very neatly organized and even have a packet of sachet in the closet so that it smells like the sheets/towels just came out of the dryer. I love the idea of using a bin on the floor for more storage. That's great for blankets which take up so much room.
Could you please come here and help me with my laundry room?? It needs help, that's for sure!
I like your linens-in-bins idea. Now you've got my wheels turning. Hmmmm….
Thanks so much for joining Grace at Home!
OOooh you just gave me an idea with the sheet in bins! Our top shelf is always a mess with sheets because I can't reach to put them up there. When I ask my husband to do it he just tosses them up there. We don't have much closet space here so I have to maximize every inch! Thanks for your ideas.
Just found your blog through Grace At Home. This is perfect timing — I just reorganized my pantry last week, but I've been procrastinating on the linen closet because It. Is. A. Mess. Thanks for the labels and tips!
Wow, so beautifully organized! I need to do this in my hall closet. Right now it's a big mess of linens, craft supplies, candles, batteries, and other things that end up in there. The bins for bedding are an excellent idea!
Great idea and thanks for sharing at this week's BFF Open House!
Just pinned the labels, what a great idea. Good way to avoid buying too much of something, like I seem to be doing with shampoo!
Wow, this is so inspiring. I love the idea of keeping bedding in bins. I can never fold sheets well enough to make them look pretty sitting on the shelf. Great job!

just found these on pinterest and I LOVE them! They're perfect for our nursery…but I can't download them because it's set to private?! Help!
I'm having the same issues with the labels on Scribd. I LOVE the labels and have pinned them to my organizing board!
