Since we had a snow day/Cold day one of the days last week, I decided to get organized for the new year! One of the things that drives me crazy is an unorganized pantry. I don't have a small kitchen but I do have a small pantry. I am one of those people who has certain shelves for certain products: ( all can goods go on one shelf, all cereal on one shelf, you get the picture?) I want to easily be able to find my post run snacks when I get back to my house!
But I couldn't stop there. I went around to the hall closet and gave that a mini makeover as well. A few years ago I purchased one of these over the door hanger things. ( I think it is suppose to hold shoes, but we use to hold all that extra stuff that we feel needs to be in our foyer)
This works great for me because now when I go for a run, I know everything I need is right in the one pocket.
I can easily stuff my I-pod, Garmin, gloves, hat, and road ID right there by the door!
And since I was gifted with new clothes for the holidays, both fitness and real clothes ( Note: only runners would call everyday clothes "Real Clothes" don't you agree?) I decided that I had to reorganize my dressing room.
BEFORE
Notice how messy the shelves are?
AFTER
I don't know why I spend my precious time organizing my clothes by color, but it makes me happy!
All the fitness clothes that were once stuffed into the shelves on the right hand side are now nicely organized in this sweater hanger.
Now I can organize my clothes by type. One pouch has running tanks, one has long sleeve running tops, one has compression capris, one has running shorts, you get the pictures!
Okay, now that I have organized my post run snacks, running gear, and fitness clothes ( and real clothes), what should I go and organize next?
Have you ever been in full on organization mode? What room in your home needs the most organization?
