Goodbye Junk, Hello Clean Linen Closet

The 366 purge continues.

(One item for every day of the year.)

This weekend I sorted through more of the holiday decor boxes 

and totally emptied and re-organized the hall linen closet.

More old junky stuff leaving this house.

Picking up where I left off: 

225.  Horrible shiny pink dress from the 80's  

(WHY did I still have this big-shouldered-monstrosity in my closet? LOL!!)

226.   Blue sandals that are too big for me

227.  Scented lotion that just isn't my favorite

228-240.  lots of Easter bunnies and other holiday decor (13)

241- 242.   Holiday door wreaths (2)

243-244.    Blankets  (2)

245-246.  the last of the twin sheet sets  (2)

247- 258.   Decorative towels (12)

 259- 281.   Old towels, hand towels, washrags (23)

282-283.  Water proof mats (2)

These are now G. O. N. E. 

The old towels will go directly to a local pet rescue shelter. 

And I only have 83 items to go to reach my goal by the end of the year. 

 How are you doing with your decluttering and clearing out?  

My sheet sets are folded and placed inside a matching pillowcase

to make changing beds easy. 

These days all our beds are queens, so I don't have to keep sizes separated.

I ended up with a whole empty shelf that I used for extra blankets. 

And there is still  more than enough here for just the two of us and the occasional kid or guest.

See the towels tied with ribbon and placed on a top shelf?

Now the guest towels won't get mixed in with the ones we use every day
and I can keep them looking fresh and pretty.

Yes, they get used regularly on all the beds at our house. 

So glad to have this closet neat and clean again.
