Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme

 Welcome to another installment of “My House Is Messier Than Yours”.  This week I’m tackling the messiest closet in my house–the toy closet.  I’m almost too embarrassed to actually post these pictures. My husband was horrified to see that I was actually posting these pictures.  I reassured him that everyone who reads my blog is kind and wouldn’t judge, so you now have to live up to my promises. 

Remember how last week I showed the baskets and how I can stuff them like the wind.  Well, the same talent can be used for closets.  Take a look at the Closet of Doom: 

 This is actually a walk-in closet, but with all this stuff it is more of a look-in or reach-in closet.  Or in my case, a run-away-from-it-and-scream closet. 

I took everything out of the closet that was on the floor.  Then I sorted it into four piles (donate, trash, put away and sell at our yardsale).  I came up with 4 bags of things to donate:

Here are two pictures of the completed project:

    I just cleaned out my toybox and all the toy baskets around my house. Don’t feel bad about your closet! You need to check out the pictures of my livingroom I just posted. Talk about ridiculous. I just did a post on purging the toys. Isn’t it crazy how they can accumulate so quickly!

    Wow, it looks totally different! The first pic looks just like my closet as a kid. I would have to make a big shove, then shut the door really quickly to keep everything from falling out!

    Great tackle!

    It is so satisfying when you are ruthless and get rid of unwanted clutter. Congratulations!

    NB. My site will be undergoing maintenance until approx midday Wednesday (Australian time).
