I Can Clean the Crap Out of A Closet....

....Literally.  That is what we did this weekend.  We are trying to go through the boxes in our garage while also doing some purging inside our home.  This weekend's task?  To purge linens.  So we cleaned out our very small linen closet and all boxes in the garage marked linens.  Remember we were going to try to sell.  Yeah, well we packed stuff up to thin out the house, got a storage unit and then never listed.  So several months ago hubby cleared out the storage unit and it all ended up in our garage.  Man do we have a lot of junk.  Here is the final result of the linen closet.


To some of you this may still appear messy, but before this weekend you could barley shut the door. Every time we washed towels or sheets, I would feel panicked about where I was going to store them.


We plan to tackle a little each weekend. Soon we will feel good about the progress and the condition of our home.

I also realized that I have two huge boxes of unused Partylite items and yet another box unaccounted for, filled with Partylite candles. I am thinking I need to just sell the Partylite accessories, but I am nervous. Has anyone else sold items on eBay? How was your experience? Any tips and/or tricks you can offer?

  1. Good job purging! I have been trying to tackle one closet each week and get rid of the things we don't need/use. Love your new header picture:-)

  2. I've sold on ebay and it's so expensive to ship certain items because of their weight and shape-I would honestly try craigslist first :)

  5. I would try craigslist first. :-) Simpler, I think. Your closet looks great! I'm doing the same thing--tackling 3 little organizing projects a week, or one big one, like closets. I have got to get this place in more order, it's making me crazy.

  7. Looks great! Thanks for commenting on my blog, and yes, please link up tomorrow for 111 things in 1/11! :-) I've sold on both ebay and craigslist, as long as you make the correct calculations for shipping, selling is a breeze. Good luck!
