Closet cleanup

We have a fairly large master bedroom closet.  And because of that, it becomes the catch-all and gets junky.  So I set out to give it a good cleaning. 

Here is my (shameful) before picture.  On the right are Mr. GV's clothes, and mine are on the left, mostly hidden behind the door. Ahead you see sheets, and below that (behind the mess on the floor) are the shoes.  See that red box?  Fragile Christmas decorations that I don't want up in the attic.  Green clothes basket?  Random stuff. 

After:  winter comforters and blankets on the top, blankets, bags, and beach towels on the next two shelves

sheets (two sets flannel, two sets regular, and top sheets to keep schmutz from the dogs' and cat's paws off the comforter. So much easier to change out a sheet than the comforter...)

My hang-up clothes, before

and after.  I'm not into the whole 'put in order by color' thing.  It may not look like much less than the before, but I also hung up several shirts that I had laying in a pile in the bottom of the closet. 

Pants/sweaters before

and after.  I tried on all the pants, and if they were too big, they were out of there.  I've kept the weight off for a few years now, and am still losing more, so I figured it was time to finally get rid of the big pants. All the sweaters are gone too, as I just don't wear them.

Mr. GV's side of the closet (plus my wedding dress obviously) before

and after.  I put the shirts together by type (T, short, and long-sleeved.)  Mr. GV doesn't have the time right now, but very soon he's going to go through and get rid of quite a few. He only wears scrubs to work now, and in his off time sticks to T-shirts.  Maybe once or twice a year he needs a dress shirt. 

Bottom rack, before.  See those cables peeking out behind the clothes?  That's our electronics box.  My goal is to eventually get rid of that entire box of assorted cables and gizmos, but for now at least it has been neatened and the box found a new home.

After.
