This task was a relatively minor one, but one that makes me insanely happy to have complete. Since we moved in, we haven't really made good use of our giant front hall closet. We've stashed wedding and shower gifts in there, a coat or two, had shoes strewn across the floor, to the point where I have no idea what shoes I have actually moved into our house, and a bunch of other random items that have just been tossed in there in a mad dash to clean up the house as someone was walking up the driveway, stopping by unexpectedly.
But when M's parents called to let us know they were planning a visit and that M's sister and her two kids would be joining us, we figured it was time to make that closet functional.
Pulled everything out of it, swept the floor and washed it, and then organized and put back the stuff that belonged (shoes, coats, mittens, gloves, hats, scarves) and put the stuff that didn't belong away where it did (wedding and shower gifts, a bottle of booze). There is actually room now to fit the vaccuum and the dog's food storage container in there now.
I know this may seem like an insane thing to be this excited about, but if you're an obsessive compulsive neat freak like I am, you'd understand.
#49 - Done! Now to just keep it organized...maybe that should also be part of the goal.
