Spring Cleaning Ideas

Lately, I’ve become obsessed with organizing my house. The warm weather combined with being more well rested has given me a renewed energy to focus on decluttering. Also, I’ve been reading The Happiness Project which reminds me of how much better and well, happier I feel when things are organized. My big goals for organizing are:

1.) Getting baby stuff under control. We have so many toys and clothes but often the things that work/fit right now are buried in with things Liam has outgrown or isn’t ready for yet. I’m trying to make sure I have a system so what is out and accessible is only what is age/size appropriate for Liam while everything else is sorted, labeled and tucked away.

2.) Pantry organization. While I would kill for a pantry that looks like this, I’ll settle for one that is organized enough so I can actually see what we have. Along with this, I’m hoping to get a better system for coupon/menu organization. I haven’t done grocery delivery yet but after Organized Mom’s post about it, I’m certainly tempted.

3.) Craft clutter control. I have taken over our guest room with craft supplies. I have to figure out a way that I can find things when I need them but that they are tucked away when we have guests.

4.) Closet organization. There is no way a person with as many clothes as I have should struggle to find an outfit in the morning. I’m hoping a re-org will keep me from unnecessarily buying new clothes because I lack inspiration from my crazy closet.

In my search for organization ideas, Pinterest came up big. Here are a few of my favorites finds:
