Holiday Closet Makeover
Last year I was bemoaning the fact that I cannot decorate with throw pillows and stuffed animals because my dogs think they are chew toys. I decided to make my small hallway linen closet my "Christmas Closet," where I could enjoy these decorations yet keep them out of reach. After the holidays I decided to dedicate this closet to Christmas linens, stockings, and pillows so I can get a bit of holiday cheer throughout the year!
Supplies
- Seasonal Linens--tablecloths, napkins, hand towels
- Throw Pillows
- Stuffed Animals
- Cleaning supplies (vacuum, duster)
Prep the Closet
- Remove all items from the closet
- Start a donation box with items no longer being used
- Relocate items that don't belong to a different closet or drawer
- Dust and wipe down all shelves
- Vacuum the floor
Organize Items
Now comes the fun part!
- Arrange pillows and stuffed animals on upper shelves
- Stack tablecloths, napkins, mats, and table runners
- Use one shelf for seasonal pictures, wall hangings, and stockings
- Use the lowest shelf for other holiday linens
- Hang one or more decorations on inside of door if desired
- Place cleaning supplies on the floor for easy access to hallway bath
