Heya! Are you ready to show off more of your house? Some of you are totally ready for this party, and some of you will be hanging back checking out the links for some organization inspiration. I get you. ;)
This month I’d love to see your closets – anything closet related. A laundry closet, master closet, linen closet, pantries (big or small!), or closets you turn into something else to meet your family’s needs. Anything closet-y goes.
Why don’t I say closet one more time?
Closet.
OK, let’s move on. I’ve shared quite a few of ours over the years, but tonight I’m recapping my top three.
First up, of course, the linen closet in our loft that I turned into a book nook:
I rearranged and purged the items in that closet, and by the time I was done it was pretty much empty. So I thunk up this idea. :)
We still love it and it’s so fun having a little nook in our very open house. If you’d like to see the how-to, check it out here.
Next up, one I shared most recently – the pantry redo:
It’s only been a couple of weeks but so far it’s stayed organized. Many of you asked where all the dang food is, and it’s still there. ;) It’s mostly along the sides, since it goes back about a foot past the door frame on both sides.
Finally, I shared the decrapification process I use when I go through and organize a closet (which is about once a year for each one):
And…I just realized I must have saved “decrapification” in my spelling check, cause it didn’t flag it. That’s awesome. :)
Now it’s time to see yours! (Remember if you’d like to be featured later this month, be sure to link back to this post or the blog!)
Here’s a button I threw together because I’m a slacker and still haven’t had one made. I know.
Now link it up!!
Your pantry gives me hope that one day, I too shall figure out a way to find what I need in mine without cursing and throwing bags of brown rice on the floor ;) Thanks for hosting the party!
ReplyDeleteWow, this actually gets me inspired to clean out my other closets!! Maybe when the seasons change and it's time to store away the winter clothes :) Thanks for hosting!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish my closets were organized so I could share them with everyone. Uuuugh, well thanks for the inspiration, I am gonna try to organize one closet a day and see how it goes. Love your blog, its great!! www.questofthenoturnalbaker.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out how to organize my pantry. I have very deep shelves. The shelves are two cereal boxes deep. It makes it hard to find things. I wish I knew how to utilize the space better. Thanks for this post. It has me thinking of different ways to organize.
ReplyDeleteI have a serious case of pantry envy right now. Mine needs a complete makeover, desperately. I'm ashamed to open it in front of real people. The dog doesn't even like to go near it. Thanks for hosting and thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThink I'll skip on this one. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting all the great ideas though! ...I meant that I don't think i want to be showin' anyone my closets. no way. :) Of course I don't mean metaphorically or something. All right I'm going.
ReplyDeleteI love the book nook! So awesome! I also love the word decrapification. Can I use that? Thanks for the link up but I couldn't figure out how to use the button. I am tech challenged!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna be one of the ones who lays back and looks for the ideas to decrapificate my own closets. Lord knows they need it they got lots of decrapa!
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
thank you so much for hosting - this is going to be a fun link party! i'm definitely going to check out the other links. i am in need of inspiration!
ReplyDeletethank you again!
All my closets suck. :) I haven't figured out a good way system to keep them organized. Sigh. Maybe seeing all these closets will inspire me.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm showing my recent cabinet organization. Not quite a closet, but hopefully that's ok. You've motivated me to finish up organizing my pantery!
ReplyDeleteSo far, I'm loving this "Show Us Your House" series! I won't be able to participate every month, but love seeing everyone else's rooms and ideas. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fun party!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting, Sarah!
ReplyDelete"Decrapification" -- Love it!! Oh man, I can't wait to use your word with my son tomorrow! Don't worry, he's 21, so he's heard WAY worse adjectives from me than a word with 'crap' in it. :)
ReplyDeleteI will use your word whole-heartedly, it especially fits for what needs to be done in MY house. LOL! You are brilliant making that up!
Best,
Gloria
Thanks for idea.

I noticed the force cup (plunger) in your closet. I too had an ugly yellow handle one. I painted mine white and display it next to the toliet in a pretty peice of pottery. That way it is off the floor after its use. I saw this done by a designer and I just love the pottery idea. Just thought I would share.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I love the black door on your pantry. I showed this to my in-laws and now they're going to add a French door to theirs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your great ideas and hosting!
Nice dissorden in some of them! HAHA! Very good idea to show people's closets! :)
ReplyDeleteI really need some motivation to tackle a bunch of mine so your party comes just at the right time! I just posted a closet redo from last year. Hopefully I will have another to add before your party ends! Thanks for hosting!

I will be joining this oarty tonight!
ReplyDeleteI have been going through many of the posts...with still more to go, and I must say I have gotten so much inspiration. Thanks again for having this party!

Thanks for hosting, I jumped in!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all of these great ideas! We're in the process of moving and I can't wait to get organized!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed a lot of linen closets don't have that many towels. My question is how many towels do you have or keep in your linen closet? Do you have more somewhere else in the house?
I love the style. It's amazing to have that kind of taste.
