Jumping the Gun

So, Husband has been working his way through Peter Walsh's It's All Too Much but I haven't yet had a chance to dive in. We have also been tracking Rebecca's progress (yes, Rebecca, my husband has been checking out your sunroom!) . However, her last post on this topic had me all fired up to get going with my linen closet because these are the two doors in the house that I dread opening. Wanna see why?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Wait. Come back. It's not that scary. Well...not anymore!

Lookie, lookie, look! You wanna know what my favorite part is? That big blank space at the top. It's a thing of beauty! The two tubs at the bottom are our dress-up boxes and they are not looking very pretty here but all I ask from the kids is that their costumes are actually contained in the boxes. I don't expect them to be organized since my two girls keep them in constant use. It only took me about an hour to do from start to finish and was so worth it I just had to share. Do you think it's rude to leave my linen closet open when I have company coming over?

  5. When you've taken the time to organize something that's haunted you, you just have to open the doors and shout, "Looky here, world!"

    So incredibly satisfying...
