Holiday Closet Makeover

Last year I was bemoaning the fact that I cannot decorate with throw pillows and stuffed animals because my dogs think they are chew toys. I decided to make my small hallway linen closet my "Christmas Closet," where I could enjoy these decorations yet keep them out of reach. After the holidays I decided to dedicate this closet to Christmas linens, stockings, and pillows so I can get a bit of holiday cheer throughout the year!

Supplies

• Seasonal Linens--tablecloths, napkins, hand towels
• Throw Pillows
• Stuffed Animals
• Cleaning supplies (vacuum, duster)

Step 1: Prep the Closet

• Remove all items from the closet
• Start a donation box with items no longer being used
• Relocate items that don't belong to a different closet or drawer
• Dust and wipe down all shelves
• Vacuum the floor

Step 2: Organize Items

Now comes the fun part!

• Arrange pillows and stuffed animals on upper shelves
• Stack tablecloths, napkins, mats, and table runners
• Use one shelf for seasonal pictures, wall hangings, and stockings
• Use the lowest shelf for other holiday linens
• Hang one or more decorations on inside of door if desired
• Place cleaning supplies on the floor for easy access to hallway bath
