Day 20: Non-Bedroom Closets

I clearly didn't look at my calendar when I planned my Spring Cleaning schedule, because we've been out of town since Friday!  I think I hoped I would have been done with all of the assignments before we left, but alas, I am not...

Thank goodness I just tackled our downstairs closets in December, because our upstairs "linen closet" will be a doozy.  It tends to be my dumping ground for all things overflow.  This closet holds our birthday gift stash, candles, over-sized serving pieces and when I stock up on diapers and Kleenex during huge sales, they go in this closet.

The last time I cleaned out our linen closet, it took a full day and required two trips to Good Will.  (pictures and details here)  Before and after pictures will have to come at a later date because I'm simply not done yet.

Here are the before and after pictures of our back hall closets a few months ago.  This totally counts for today's challenge.  Right?

This was the "during" picture - such a disaster!

After - I transferred serving pieces and bakeware to this closet and utilized one shelf as my purse/coupon/paperwork drop zone.

After - Jason's toy buckets - I put them on the floor of the above pictured closet. Throughout the day, I rotate the buckets into the family room when he needs something fresh to entertain him.
