Closet Organization

I hesitated even posted these pictures, because I do not any of you to think I am some crazy hoarder. In reality, I am more of a stockpiler of things I will use and can find super cheap. I hate having to pay full price for things I could have gotten on sale, so I stock up when there is a deal, even though I may not "need " them right away. Also, I use this closet as a place to rotate toys in and out of my sons playroom. And I store birthday / holiday gifts in here.

I should have taken before pictures of the closet, because things were spilling over on to the floor and it was a MESS. I grabbed some plastic bins I had on hand, got out my label maker and went to work. I grouped things by category (art supplies, play-doh, games, etc.) so I would have a better idea of what I have on hand. Had I done this sooner, I wouldn't have ended up with two CandyLand board games! Toys R Us had an amazing deal on board games a while back and I stocked up! It may look a little crazy, but I have seen pictures of other people's stockpilers and this is nothing!

  3. That's a lot of stuff but at least it's well organized. But very soon you will not be able to just have his X-mas gifts in a closet like that. You'll have to find somewhere better where you can actually hide them.
