"The Monster" (aka: The Master Closet)

(A peek into my life outside crafts)

My bedroom closet maybe should have more appropriately been called "The Black Hole", as everything disappeared once it went in there. Its a walk-in and was scary to go into. It was a big mess of clothes that had fallen off hangers, junk I had taken out of my spare dresser to accommodate my new boy's clothes, hubby's collectables, childhood stuffies, and extras that didn't have a home. It had gotten to the point i didnt want to go in there, even to find an outfit because it was so scary, lol. It also doubled as a bedroom for our mixed-breed dog (chihuahua/pomeranian mix), which meant a collection of dust, dander, and dog fur building up on the floor...AND on my clothes. It was very frustrating to pick out the shirt i wanted to wear that day, only to find out i needed to spend the morning de-furring it.

I'd finally had enough. It was finally time to conquer "The Monster".

Like I did with my side of my bed, i tossed junk and the unwanted into the trash bin. I gathered like items (i.e. hubbys  hockey card collection, books, etc) and put them into cardboard storage boxes (Bankers Boxes). I picked up fur-laden clothes and put them in the wash basket to go into the wash when i do one, then i placed each box on the now cleared shelves. I can see the walls of my closet, the shelves are empty (except where the 6 boxes sit), and the clothes are hanging nicely on the racks. The only task i have left is to vacuum the floor and be rid of the fur, dust and dirt. Interestingly, it only took half a day to complete. I wish I had a picture of it before, but i may put one up of after.

My challenge of tidying and organizing my home is under way. Unfortunately I cannot continue until after Thanksgiving, but i welcome the break. Once the holiday is over, i can complete the bedroom and move to the next room...but which one, the bathroom...or the kitchen, with the impossible pantry? Lol. I have till Tuesday to decide lol.
