Operation Closet Reorganization Part II
Operation Closet Reorganization is in full swing. I actually followed through on my “next steps” from Friday’s post. Specifically, I:- Got the dimensions of the space we’re working with.

- Get the dimensions of the space we’re working with.
- Make a model of the space on a piece of graph paper.
- Brainstorm different arrangements.
- Start looking for organizers from IKEA, The Container Store, and local resale shops.
I’m excited! We gave our bathroom cabinets a makeover a few … Read More
