. . . name that movie . . .
{see post title}
. . . welcome to my closet . . .
{think scary twilight zone music}
. . . which, as you can see,
is very deserving of its nickname . . .
. . . would you like a guided tour? . . .
. . . just to the left of the door . . .
{i bet you have a box of old cassettes in your closet, too. lucky you!}
. . . here's the side designated
for bill's cra...stuff . . .
. . . featuring 3 boxes full
of 6 years worth
of medical papers, xrays and mris . . .
. . . an empty dvd player box . . .
. . . turning the corner,
we have the first glimpse
of my cra...stuff . . .
. . . and a slightly confusing visual aid
from bill's lesson to the 16 and 17-year-olds
in our ward a couple of weeks ago . . .
{for the record ~
we were talking about sins of commission ~
things we [do], but shouldn't ~
and sins of omission ~
things we [don't] do, but should ~
and we're opposed to both kinds ~
just for the record}
. . . oh, look! . . .
. . . there's a christmas present
i forgot i bought for amber . . .
. . . and some raggedy jeans . . .
. . . my closet is 9.5'x9.5' . . .
. . . 90 square feet of organizational possibilities . . .
. . . it's supposed to be classy . . .
. . . so ~ remember when i was
without internet for a week? . . .
. . . guess what else i accomplished? . . .
. . . and yes ~ i managed
to spread this project out
over about ten days . . .
. . . but ~ ta da! . . .
. . . i even washed that little window inside and out . . .
. . . and dusted the shutters . . .
. . . after plenty of sorting and purging . . .
. . . dusting, vacuuming, and magic erasering . . .
. . . re-hanging . . .
. . . alterations and ironing . . .
. . . a few empty shelves don't bug me at all . . .
. . . there's plenty of room for more shoes . . .
. . . but i'm pretty happy
with my cute cheetah peeptoes
and nike frees . . .
. . . it's really white . . .
. . . there're eleven watches in this drawer . . .
. . . did you notice i only used white hangers? . . .
. . . would you like to see
what my ocd self
did with all the other colored ones? . . .
. . . so ~ in review . . .
. . . in any case . . .
. . . here is the aftermath . . .
. . . not including three trash bags
full of shredded documents . . .
. . . there's some pretty awesome mhs tshirts
and lots of other treasures in those bags . . .
. . . which i happily delivered
to my local goodwill last saturday . . .
. . . except not the randy johnson bobblehead . . .
. . . nope ~ we totally kept him . . .
. . . some stuff is just too good to get rid of . . .
{edit: see comments. oops ~
that bobblehead is obviously not tall enough to be randy johnson}

wow! amazing. from one ocd heart to another, good work.
cardiganville makes me really happy. and a tiny bit jealous.
I am a little jealous. No. A lot jealous!
that's classy. and ironing and altering to boot. nice job!
wow. i am quite impressed. i am also happy to see you still have an area dedicated to bath and body works overflow items that can easily be grabbed for last minute secret bunny gifts. i adore your land of cardigans and i am happy to see that each pair of once dusty boots now gets their very own shelf. fancy.
Um I am REALLY jealous of cardiganville. And when I come home with another cardi, I will just say I'm learning from the master!!
My wife is the most organized person I know. (I think I know where Elliott gets his OCD) However, she needs to work on her sports knowledge. Every man knows that the bobblehead is Brandon Webb NOT Randy Johnson!
can you say JEALOUS!!! no, let's say SUPER JEALOUS! THAT is my D R E A M!!!
pretty, pretty closet. come do mine, please. although i only have about 1.5 ft x 3 ft to work with. and 4 cardis instead of 48.
your closet makes me happy. i wish mine made me happy. it is indeed the pit of despair at my house. best movie ever, BTW. good job, mama!
Ok Steph, check your genealogy because you and Donna HAVE TO BE related (the before pic anyway). Let's see, your burst of energy can't be attributed to using your kids Riddlin (they're all grown). OCD? Maybe, but doubtful (however the color coordinated hangers in perfect light spectrum order may call for a 2nd opinion - hmm?). Internet Withdrawal Syndrome? Bingo! All I can say is your willingness to show the "before" and the "reveal" violates one of the cardinal rules for us men: "Never look in a woman's purse or her closet!"
Very impressive. Want a trip to OKC? I could use you....My house may look and be clean....until you open doors and drawers!
The "Fly Lady" would be doing her happy dance!
You are so cute and your closet is amazing. I love cardiganville. :)
