This was a fun one! My eight year old client couldn’t even open the door to her closet anymore. One thing on the floor turned into fifty, so this closet was no longer functional. We started by getting everything off of the floor, which was mostly laundry. Once we could open the door, we took everything else out, found homes for all of the miscellaneous items, and viola! A closet that can actually be used. Adding labels to the drawers will help this kiddo remember where everything goes 👚👖👗

Do you really need all of those towels and sheet sets taking up valuable closet space? Are you like most people who have a few favorites and never touch the other ones that live in the back of your linen closet? Then it’s time to downsize! Keeping three towels per family member is usually plenty and allows you to stay on top of laundry. For sheets, this client decided to keep four sets for each bed; two flannel ones for winter, and two lightweight sets for summer. Pro-tip: when buying new sheets, look at the tag. Most sheet tags don’t say what size they are 🤦🏼‍♀️ If you’ve got different sized beds throughout your home, take a permanent marker and write the size on the tag. This will save you from many headaches in the future!
