Clearing the Clutter - Hall Closet

Or if we are truly going to call a spade, a spade....The Closet O' Crap!

There was a little kitchen stuff, a little hardware stuff, a little recreation stuff, a little pharmaceutical stuff... You get the idea.

There simply are things that have to go in that closet because it is one of two in the entire house (except the clothes closets of course). We do not have a linen closet, a pantry, a utility closet. Though we have a lovely teeny tiny coat closet in the living room! This is FLORIDA people!!! We don't need coat closets!!!

In the before photos you won't see much of anything because there is TOO MUCH CRAP IN THE WAY!!!! I moved any food items to the kitchen (or trash can in several cases) and all the candles went over to my altar area. Yoga mats went into the exercise room. (Does anyone know why I have 4 yoga mats???) Most of the hanging items are still hanging but on a much lower hook so I can actually access the closet!!




Here are the after photos. There actually is a closet there. What I really needed was a brewing space. So I removed one of the shelved and moved things around a bit. The primary fermentors won't fit in there but they need daily attention anyways. But there is now room for 6 secondaries!! Before they wouldn't fit on the shelf with the airlock in place because they were too tall. All of the empty bottles are on the top shelf instead of being everywhere. Cooking dishes had to stay in here but they have been organized and consolidated and now fit on one shelf instead of two.

The door organizer is now organized! Imagine that!! All of the various brewing paraphinalia are on two of the shelves so I no longer have to go digging for stuff!
