Guess what?
My Laundry Room was featured at The DIY Show Off this morning!
Thanks so much to Roeshel, she is super sweet,and her home is absolutely stunning!
In other news…Spring cleaning has officially commenced in our house! Today I decided I needed to make better use of our hallway linen closet. Some people complain about not having enough closets, my complaint…we have too many! I was overwhelmed when we moved into this house with the amount of closet space. I didn’t “assign” items to certain closets, instead just threw stuff in there with mentality of “I’ll get to it later”- ha! right! 9 months later here I am FINALLY getting it done.
Here’s how it looked before. Absolutely NO ORGANIZATION, stuff was just thrown in there without order or purpose.
So I took everything out, dusted, wiped down the walls, and shelves, and put everything in the wash.
Once all my linens were clean and dry I began to organize them, and purge whatever looked dingy or dirty.
One trick I like to do is put a few dryer sheets in between sheets, extra pillows, and towels to keep everything smelling fresh when not in use. So I scattered these in between everything in the closet, and now when the door gets opened it’s like a fresh cool breeze in the face. Ahhhh. Anyways…
Here it is now…
Better. Much better.
What are you doing to kick off your spring cleaning?

Congratulations, Christine, on the feature! Spring cleaning…. It sounds like a good idea. I just need more hours in my day!
AGREE Lori! That’s why I try to just tackle 1 major thing a day. Tomorrow…the pantry…if you don’t hear from me, send the National Guard!
Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous subway art floor today.
Great job on kicking off spring cleaning! Yesterday I started by washing windows in the family room – of course giving that room a makeover was motivation…can’t start out with dirty windows.
Have a great rest of the week, Christine!
Thanks Roeshel!
Can’t wait to see this family room! I know it will be amazing! Are you planning on going to Haven? I’ve never been to a conference before, but it sounds like great fun!
I am going to Haven! Woo hoo! Looking forward to meeting some DIY friends in real life!
Hi Christine! Thanks for linking up! I love the dryer sheets between linens idea – may steal that one. Your blog is great – following you back.
Thanks Jenn! Steal away
Turned out great Christine! Im starting with the fridge and pantry.. ugh!
I’m working on the pantry today as well Kelley! Good luck!
Ok, I’m officially following you now, not sure how I let that slip past. I need some of your organization inspiration for my linen closet:)
