Just back from a busy couple of weeks.
Spring has sort of sprung around these parts. Ah, the longer days are most welcome!
But I will give you one more tip for surviving until the temps climb a bit higher.
Cleaning was mentioned in a past posting. I promise this one does not require any cleaning. At all.
Just organizing.
Pick one thing. You know it’s out there. Something that you’ve been avoiding. Doesn’t even have to be a big project. It could be your purse! Or a junk drawer! Or files/piles of paper. It’s all about bringing a little bit of calm or joy to a person when the task is completed.
I am working on a couple of projects at the moment.
Here is my recent coup.
Organizing the closet.
Was I really only wearing the same old clothes because I chunked up and couldn’t fit into any of the old ones? Or was it because closets appear to eat up all the other clothes when one is not paying close attention? Lost in the mess?
I read an article some time ago. It mentioned, when conquering the closet, using matching hangers. So that all of the clothes hang at the same level and looks organized.
Hmmm. I thought I could do this.
There were a few other tips that I followed.
One was determining real estate. Stuff a person never wears shouldn’t be taking up prime space.
Another was categorizing by sleeve length.
Then color code. Use the rainbow as your guide for color coordination. White clothes first.
I wanted our closet to not just be easy on the eyes. I wanted the closet to be easy.
So I bought all new hangers. Black, slim, felt hangers at a local discount store. Heaved all mismatched plastic and wire hangers. Sayonara!
It’s not perfect but it’s better. I found that using just one type of hanger makes items so much easier to see and find.
These are just a few photos. The new hangers weren’t strong enough for my husband’s suits so I continued using the wooden hangers. Just made sure they all matched!
That’s my latest suggestion for passing the time while waiting for warmer days.
Happy Spring!
