Tips For Organized Armoires & Drawers ~

        

Spring Cleaning and Organizing?  I was! 

This time of year, I go through my clothes and my children’s clothes, getting ready for Spring and Summer.

I have two boys, So needless to say, it needs to be done to remove Fall/Winter items to donate or store for the next Fall/Winter.  Then it is necessary to get those items out of storage for the new season upon us.

I go through my oldest boys closet and drawers. Then, I move the sizes he can not wear and put them in my youngest sons room in storage boxes for the next Fall/Winter. Some of the items may be donated or thrown away depending on wear. I then make a list of new items needed. (T-Shirts, shorts, pants, underwear, swim clothes, shoes, etc.).

Then, in my youngest sons room I go through all of the clothing and make a donate pile and replace with items from storage for this Spring/Summer. I also make another list of items he may need too.

The next thing to do, is organize by color and style in specific drawers or shelves. 

For pants I make different piles, “comfy pants” or sweat/wind pants, khaki pants, shorts and jeans. The t-shirts are sorted by color and pajamas are organized by sets.

This makes it MUCH easier to pick out an outfit for them or for them to pick out an outfit by themselves. No rummaging through piles of clothes trying to find the perfect blue t-shirt. This is a HUGE time saver when everyone is in a hurry. Not to mention, it keeps the armoire or drawers neat; because, you can go straight to the item you need.

*This also helps for that vacation you are planning for quick packing!

I hope this helps in your Spring cleaning…

Happy Organizing!
