Tink will be returning in baby steps.
...to update this goal when I do something relevant to it while working on my overall decluttering goal.
Last weekend’s mad reorganization spree (reported in a series of entries under the main goal, culminating in this one) included some work on all three closets:- Reconfigured the stuff stored on the floors of both the coat closet and my clothes closet
- Rearranged part of the ensuite storage closet
- Switched some occasional-use items from prime closet space to the storage closet
- Transferred my heavy winter outerwear from the coat closet to the freestanding wardrobe that recently migrated to my bedroom from my dining room, where it had been used to store office supplies and boxes of papers left over from my big office downsizing during the summer of 2007. (The office supplies are still on the wardrobe’s shelves for now, but the boxes are in my dining room, where I plan to sort through over the next couple of weeks.)
- Move my suitcase full of foldable off-season stuff into the bottom of the wardrobe, below the coats.
It’s nice having more space in the coat closet for the light sweaters and blazers I use on cool summer mornings and evenings.
And this morning, when I needed an extension cord, I was pleased that I knew exactly where my spares were located in the storage closet, and could get at them without too much trouble.
Still to be done in the closet realm:- Purge and reorganize top shelf of bedroom closet
- Reorganize linen closet
- Continue organizing ensuite storage closet so that I have easy access to everything that’s in there, and get rid of anything I come across that I don’t need or use
- Purge other half of freestanding wardrobe (which is fitted with shelves), and decide on best use of that space
