Organizing the Breezeway Closet

This weekend, I tackled our breezeway closet. This is closet is required to hold anything from pool toys to flower pots to winter boots. With all those requirements, this space can easily become this:



After an hour…ta da….

    Looks great - when things look that good you work hard to keep them that way.

    There are so many people clearing out closets today, there must be something in the weather, and I am having serious closet envy! We don't have any in this house.

    What ARE those wire things?? We don't have a hall closet. It is a pain - I mean, where are we supposed to put all that stuff? It ends up hanging in the laundry room. But I'd love a door to put it behind. So that it can get crazy.

    I am such a sucker for organizing projects. I will fully admit I get a big thrill out of them.

    A great big nerdy-geeky-Type-A thrill!

    Why does one get such satisfaction from organizing a closet or drawer? Only to have to repeat the task many many many times? I love it when I organize the junk drawer... but inevitably it gets junked up again!

    I've got a few closets like this I need to tackle... when can you come over?

    I'm serious.

    Hi Susie,

    Thanks for dropping by my blog.

    I just want to clarify what do you mean just because your sis-in-law she is strong...?

    You know what,just because an autistic child is non-verbal it is severe. There is more to it than being verbal honestly. You just gave me a great idea to blog about in my other blog, Earthly Explorations

    If you the sister-in-law feels frustrated about your nephews condition, what more your sister-in-law since its her son?

    I don't know fully the situation in the family and I would also go crazy when my child is labeled. I have another blog that this that deals with autism maybe you should read some and let her do to. She needs all support she can get.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope to see more of you too.

    It's like we have the same closet! Only mine does not have shelves, so it's one big pile that will fall on you if you are not careful. LOL I am sure I will do that as a tackle one week coming up. Your clost looks great!!

    Hi Susie,

    Sorry, I think I misunderstood you. Best way though you know is for your sis-in-law to find a support group of parents having the same situation.

    Just came back to let you know my daughter LOVED the HSM video of her and Troy! The kid eats/breathes/sleeps all things HSM. We will be at the theater to see HSM3 when it opens next month... she can hardly wait.
