The first area to tackle was the master closet. I have to chuckle at the idea of a master closet as we have a very old home and only have a few closets. There is certainly nothing masterly about our closet, (long and narrow and slanted ceiling) but it is the closet that Brian and I use.
After working on and off this week, I was able to get the closet done. We were also suppose to tackle dressers and anywhere else our clothes were stored. I did not finish it all. I did most of my drawers, but I have clothes stored for off season, so those will wait. This will definitely be an ongoing project.
Without further ado...
Before....here is the closet door, which happens to be where I hang the half dozen outfits I rotate for church. The closet was too cramped and I did not like having to dig for my clothes each week.
After...no clothes, wiped clean and looking so much nicer.
Before...my end of the closet. The clothes were packed in there and so many of them I hadn't worn in years.
After...about half the amount. Things are easy to see and there is room for everything to hang nicely so they don't wrinkle so much. There is still a mish-mash of hangers and I will be replacing them with new hangers. I'll ask Brian to go through his end of the closet when he returns for his latest trip.
This is the pile of clothes that will be going away. My parent's church holds a monthly clothing sale and all the proceeds go to their missions program, so these will be donated there.
This is the colorful pile of hangers that I didn't need. These will get sorted with most going in the trash.
Ah, it is feeling good already to be lightening the load and paring down.
