Week 8: The Guest Room Closet

This closet started off organized, but the more crap we moved into this house, the messier it got.  We threw a lot of bins in there when we  moved in that were just bins of miscellaneous crap.  The mess was starting to expand to just outside the closet and was doomed to soon take over the room.  I started by creating piles:  garbage, garage sale, goes in another room, basement storage, goes to work.  Once I got things sorted I was able to free up room to move in a shelving unit from another room that was no longer going to be used in that room.  This organization needed to provide easily accessible homes for so many different things:  genealogy stuff, old photos, craft/scrapbooking stuff, photo equipment, office supplies, and of course, more of my husbands books.  :)  It's a little tighter in there than I would like, but we fit everything and it's very organized.  I didn't have to buy anything to complete the project, as we re-used/re-purposed shelves and containers we already had.  Week 8:  COMPLETE.
