After completing the organizational project of my youngest daughter’s clothing, I proceeded to follow the same five steps to organize my older children’s closet and dresser. I started with their summer clothes and shoes, and began the process one step at a time.
Step One: Prepare
The totes were brought into the hallway by hubby. The sharpie, labels, and plastic bags were already in the hallway.
Step Two: Purge
All the out-grown and summer clothing was taken from the closet and dresser and neatly folded and placed in piles.
Step Three: Pack
The piles of clothing were neatly packed into totes labeled with the gender, size, and type of clothing (i.e. Girls, 3T, summer).
Step Four: Place
The winter clothing was then unpacked, washed, and placed in the closet and dresser.
Step Five: Preserve
Any remaining items were stored in labeled totes and preserved in storage for a future date.
The process went much quicker for my older children than it did for my youngest daughter. My guess is due to all the totes and supplies previously gathered, and my mindset was already in an organizational mode.
Before After
After completing the project, I decided to improve their closet space by adding the storage bins I found on sale at Target. I loved the transformation. This project concludes the clothing swap for my children from summer to winter. Now to decide what my next project will be. Happy organizing!
