Itch To Pitch- week 2

i have been meaning to post this since i did it last week but i have been busy trying to get this weeks going, and having people here most of the day for swim lessons.

so here it goes! This past week i did my entry way closet, it is supposed to be a coat closet although it doesn't get cold enough here to ever need a whole closet for coats. so instead i guess i have stored junk. here are the before's:

so the first task is to get everything out of the closet!

there was a lot of stuff in there and the picture does not even do it justice. those basket are full of stuff. there was holiday stuff, clearance gifts i had picked up, house decor etc etc etc....

i had this cool set of magnext that i got for $12.48 regularly $49.99, what a great gift for my son David he will love it!

101_3418i got all my holiday stuff into one tub, it is mostly things i decorate my little entry with since i don't generally decorate for many holidays other than Christmas.

 

 

 

ok so now for the final pictures of the after:

i love that the shelf fits in the closet sideways so much more convenient. i am not sure where to put these 2 bird cage candleholders in this house but i cant part with them yet cause i love them! anyhow i was very pleased with the final outcome.

the orange basket is one of car stuff that i take with me when i leave (not always only if i am gone for the most part of the day) it has a phone book, granola bars, umbrella, couple of movies for the kids, wipes etc. also i store certain snacks or juices in this closet cause the kids never look in here and they last longer that way.

oh and lastly, the stuff i pitched:
