Getting Organized Day 4: Linen Closet

It's day 4 of the 21 Day Organization Challenge, and today's task: the Linen Closet. I'm ashamed to say that I never really considered my linen closet to be an issue. I organized it about a year or two ago, and I thought we had done a good job keeping it under control. However, after taking everything out and putting everything back in, I feel like I was very wrong.

Before picture:

(I had to take 2 because I couldn't get the whole thing in one frame.)

I had some helpers this time. Melanie and Noelle thought it was fun to play in all the towels. And Melanie, sneaky girl, stole all my baby wash clothes to play with in her room. I had to fight her to get them back. She ended up with 3 (I told her she could have one, but she snuck another one, and really... was it worth getting it back right away, no!)

(Random side note. That thing about Noelle's neck is my running headband. She is too funny and insists on wearing it, both as a necklace and as a headband. She also wears my running visor around the house. She is a mini-me!)
And After!

As I was cleaning the linen closet, Melanie asked me if I could clean her closet too. So here is the before:

And the after. Most of it stayed. I did re-organize the books to put Melanie appropriate books on top shelf and Noelle appropriate books on the bottom shelf so that Noelle can get to them.
