Order in the House

Looking for an easy way to bring some order to your house and purge some items you no longer use? Years ago, before kids, my closet was not only color coordinated it was also seasonally organized. For example, all my pinks were in one spot and they were organized with all sleeveless together, then all short-sleeved together, then all long-sleeved together. There was no co-mingling of long-sleeved and sleeveless if there was a short-sleeved around. It was so organized. I was able to see all colors and styles in one spot!

Then enter babies, nursing, sleepless nights, and chaos - beautiful chaos. Now that the kids can go potty by themselves (and in theory I should have more time) I made the decision to get back to an organized closet. It is not completely done yet. Sometimes things are baby steps, sometimes things are growth spurts.

What has been organized gives me a sense of accomplishment. And I was able to purge about a dozen items - giving them to family or the Salvation Army. Hubby got in on the action too. Not the color coding part but the purging part. He took at least a dozen shirts out of his closet to give away. Ahh...it's a great feeling.

So if you are feeling a little (or a lot) overwhelmed with your closet, start organizing it by color. It will be easier to get dressed in the morning and easier to give clothes away. It will also save you some money. I found more than one duplicate shirt. Must've really liked that style!
