I love organizing. Isn't it great to look at a pile of stuff, then sort it all out and find a new way to store it all in a way that actually makes sense? Moving to my new apartment, I vowed that I would no longer have bags, baskets, and boxes filled with all the random stuff that would not fit other places. After the third consecutive hour of unpacking and organizing today, I sat down on the futon sitting in my extra bedroom and just sat there, admiring the fact that I had extra closet space. In my old apartment, the only reason that a closet would be that empty was if we had to empty the entire closet because we were looking for something.
One thing we had trouble with in the last apartment was having boxes that I knew the purpose of, but my husband didn't. So when we were cleaning, my husband had no idea where things went. I am a huge fan of boxes, bins and baskets, so as I am deciding on places I am labeling them. Hopefully this will help my husband be able to find the correct place for things, but it would not hurt to have a reminder for me too!
Well, the boxes and their labels are calling again. I have many boxes to unpack and label before I'll be satisfied with my work today. How do you keep your house organized?
