$100 Room Makeover: Introducing the Linen Closet

During the months of October and November I was creating a coffee station for the One Room Challenge, so there was a little break from the $100 Room Challenge. Now that it’s December, I’m ready to go at it again. Since this month is always so busy with the holidays, I decided to tackle a smaller space: My linen closet. Let’s take a look (and remember, there is no tidying up for “before pictures”… nor did I pull out my lighting kit for this dark space. Sorry, a little grainy, but you get the idea.)

Here are my goals over the next few weeks:

1.) Organize

I’m not sure of everything that’s in here, but I feel like I need to sort and toss and stream-line.

2.) Update the Shelving

As you may know, I am not a fan of wire shelving because things keep falling over or slipping through the cracks; yet our closets are full of it.

I absolutely love, love, love the wood overlays we made for the laundry room and coat closet, but I have something different planned for this space.

3.) Storage

This linen closet holds more than just towels and bedding; we also have extra toiletries stored in here. However, having a whole bunch of bottles, toilet paper, and facial tissue doesn’t seem very neat and tidy, so I’ll be looking for some baskets/containers.

4.) Different Linens

I don’t think I need to spend a huge amount in this space, so I might splurge (up to $100) on a few new towels for my husband and I. We had two sets, but one set was used to clean a backed up drain, and it just seemed best to throw them away after that fiasco. So gross.

I’m excited to get started in here and see what can be done.
