Organizing and Organizing...

So I am going away for 9/13-9/25 for my new job and one of the thing I felt like I needed to get done before I left was to organize my closets. This has become even more urgent since I started having a love affair with CVS, dating Shaws and having a casual fling with Stop and Shop. Oh how I have become addicted to the deals.

I wish I had taken before pictures, because the kitchen closet used to be literally stacked floors to ceiling with bubble wrap and boxes and rocks and stuff (literally...I have a ton of rocks) from when we were doing terrariums. But look how lovely and pantry-ish it is now!!! I never thought living in the city that we could have a pantry.


The bags on the bottom are for my mom...They are not a permanent fixture.

I also cleaned the linen closet that was FILLED with crap. I had old makeup I bought in 2000 in there. I know, pathetic... but with some time and effort and a trash bag I transformed it into this...



And what is the best part of all of this? The organization and knowing where everything is? No, it is having room to bring home more stuff!
