Organize October

My goal for October: organize the apartment.

You know how little things just build up and build up until finally you can't take it anymore? That's my apartment. I don't know where we get so much crap stuff!

Every week this month I am going to focus on a different part of the apartment.
Week 1: Bedroom and closet.
Week 2: Guest bedroom and closet (might take 2 weeks)
Week 3: Kitchen
Week 4: Garage

I am interested to see how much stuff we can get rid of. I wish we can have a garage sale (might have to talk to the apartment complex about that) so that I could actually make some money off my crap stuff, but we will probably end up donating it.

Wouldn't you love to have a closet this big organized?

So, this week I'm all about the closet, bedroom, and master bath. The rules/goals I have set for myself:

• For Spring/Summer clothes - If I haven't worn it at all this year - toss it!
• For Fall/Winter clothes - If I didn't wear them at all last year - toss it!
• Any shoes I haven't worn all year - toss them!
• Any t-shirts/sweatshirts that are from college and hold no sentimental value - toss them!
• Anything with an unmendable hold or tear - toss it!
• Go through my sock drawer and match all currently unmatched socks. Toss or find a way to reuse the extras (could reuse as a "rag" to wipe up wood stain or varnish)
• I have to hang up/fold and put away all my clothes after they have been worn.
• All worn clothes that need to be washed must be in a hamper.
• Any makeup that is empty or purchased over 6 months ago - toss it!
• Any old vitamin bottles or medication - toss it!

Some things that I want to get to make these areas a little more organized:

Some touch lights because the closet it just too dark!

Shoe boxes for shoes I don't wear on a weekly basis

A belt hanger

Boot shapers so my boots aren't always falling over.

New drawer organizers for my makeup because the current ones don't fit.

And possibly another chest of drawers because the current one has been outgrown.

Is there a room in your house you would completely like to reorganize?
