Organising the linen cupboard

Look at this mess! Just look at it! Okay, it was much worse before I became pregnant and started 'nesting', but still, what an unorganised chaos! Today, a blog that I read inspired me and I got into an organisation mood!






First of all, I pulled out everything in the cupboard. I then put everything in categorised piles.

Categorised piles.

After that, I measured what space I had to work with and noted it all down. I counted my categories and wrote them down too. Perhaps I could fit two categories into one place if there were only little of them.

Writing down what I need

After this, I went to Sam's Warehouse - Plastic storage heaven! And yes, I took my measuring tape with me. I measured all of these boxes and after a long decision, I came home with 12 boxes in 3 different sizes. (and some aluminum foil... we ran out!)... Oh and it's very important you get boxes with wheels!

Love my Honda Jazz... Excellent storage space!

I got home and repacked all of the bed linen. I put everything in the boxes and then made labels for everything!!!

Only problem is I have too much of some things, so it overflows. But that's okay, because the boxes help keep it in a nice pile. And unfortunately there are only enough room for 2 boxes on each shelf, but I've put some miscellaneous items in to bulk it up.

I feel clean now! :)
