We stuffed and shoved and filled those babies to the brim.....
But things got a wee bit out of control.
So, we've spent the week de-cluttering. The basement, the pantry, the closets and we're feeling oh so light and just a little bit smug:)
This is the BEFORE.
Actually it's the BEFORE BEFORE. I took it a week before the photo shoot and in those last 7 days is got worse. So, so much worse.
And now......
Ta-Da! All better.
I was actually going to write about the *keys* to de-cluttering but that info is the stuff blogs are made of. You can find it almost anywhere.
So, instead, I thought I'd share my one little (slightly compulsive) organizing tip...
I make closet *Maps*.
A map of what goes where in a closet. You can find them taped to the inside to my linen closet, pantry, and NOW I have one in the basement.
I started making them because my biggest pet peeve is organizing a closet and then watching Jamie defile it two seconds later by putting lightbulbs in the battery bin. UGH!!!!!
This way, without having to review closet organization 1 million times, there is a little cheat sheet that anyone can follow.

This is a great idea! Having Scott put things in a different spot all the time drives me bananas! I'll try to be easy going about it, like "oh, he must prefer this spot, I'll put it here from now on" but then he won't remember that next time and either can't find it himself, or puts it somewhere different still! I need to implement these maps!
