Now that Spring is here, I’m not only doing a deep clean around the house, but I’m doing some major organizing as well. Lord knows we just have too much stuff and it’s time to de-clutter. Purging is absolutely necessary to save me from what my husband refers to as “hoarding”. Now I wouldn’t go as far to say that and I’ve been getting much better at tossing things over the years.
My bedroom closet was so full that we could barely fit all of our clothes in there, so I started with that. I took every shirt and dress out of there, laid them on my bed and got to work. If I hadn’t worn it in a year or it didn’t fit, it went into a donation pile. Even if it was something that I loved, I had to let go if it wasn’t getting used. In the end, I took 2 garbage bags full of just my clothes to the donation drop box in town! It felt wonderful and sad all at the same time, but my husband thanked me profusely. I’m sure the people in need who received the clothing are thankful too, so there’s an upside.
Once I was done, it seemed like I barely had any clothes at all in the closet. I put up some pieces from the neatfreak closetMAX Storage System at Kohl’s and set to work on my closet makeover. Hubby has always had just a small section of the closet and used to have to keep his work clothes folded in a basket. But with the neatfreak closetMAX System 4-Cubby Closet Organizer with Hanging Bar, I was able to give him an area for his pants, shirts and hoodies while not only using up the same amount of room, but also giving him a place to hang his shirts too! Total score for me because I didn’t lose any of my space!
I also put in the neatfreak closetMAX System 6-Shelf Closet Organizer and that gave me a place to put my tank tops, shorts, extra sheets and pillow cases. The two drawers at the bottom are the perfect place for my swimsuits and summer nightgowns. So I not only freed up a ton of closet space, but I also de-cluttered some of my dresser drawers.
In the back of my closet hangs a shoe rack so that I can keep my shoes organized. As you can see, I haven’t gotten quite that far yet!
What I really like about the neatfreak closetMAX Storage System and what seems to set it apart from other closet organization systems is that it’s fully functional and interchangeable. Everything hangs from your existing closet bar, so there’s no need for tools or anything like that. You can organize the pieces however you like, to make them fit perfectly in your space.
