Organizing Linen Closets

Well I’m so glad so many of you enjoyed my pantry organization! If you liked that you’ll like this too.

Alright our main linen cupboard was getting a little crazy. I’ve had to move my craft supplies and these white drawers in here to keep them away from Ben.

There was just so much I didn’t need or use. I’ve become really sensitive to scents since I had Andrew so I haven’t touched these in years! (In college I worked at Bath & Body Works – don’t judge hehe)

The boys’ linen cupboard was pretty bad too. It had become a storage place for all sorts of home stuff. Air filters, caulk and vinyl adhesive, paint samples.

So what’s a girl to do? Go to the dollar store of course. I also got these at Dollar Tree like the ones for my pantry. I took everything out and went through it. I threw away old cosmetics and toiletries.

Then I organized the remaining items into categories and used my handy chalkboard contact paper to label the bins.

Hair dryer, curling iron, and straightener all in here because I don’t use them often honestly and if I put them in my bathroom drawer, Ben gets them out and drags them all over the house.

I bagged up winter blankets and put them neatly in the top of the closet.

My husband's workout stuff is still here and can't really be helped. 

I folded the sheets nice and neat and put them away

For the boy’s closet I took all the home project things down to the garage where they should have been in the first place.

I need labels in this cupboard, but I put all my dusting and cleaning cloths in bins and my cleaning supplies together. All the baby blankets are in that awesome chevron bin from Target – which I realized too late I should have gotten more of.

The boy’s towels, cleaning/rag towels, and beach towels are all on the bottom because Ben has no interest in playing with them – for now. Then my big bin of puzzles and games is at the bottom.

And there you go. I simple pulled everything out and went though it and the stuff that went back in went nice and neat in bins and together with other like items.

It is a lot nicer to find things in the linen cupboards now!
