C is for Closet

Yikes. It shouldn't be called closet, it should be called our top secret hiding place.


Behind the crappy, seldom working doors of my old closet was all of my dirty laundry. literally. We gave the term "skeletons in the closet" a whole new meaning. It was rough. Stuff was everywhere, unorganized, an overflowing mess. When company was coming over, just shove the clothes piled on our bedroom floor into the closet and PRAY that nobody opens it.

Anyway, stuff was outta hand and given the fact that we have a beautiful new bed, we needed a beautiful new closet. So, I bought one of those nifty organizers for about $100. @ our Lowe's.


We painted the inside of the closet Rosemary Green to match our bedspread.



Hubs installed it and I got to work organizing it. I picked up some baskets @ Homegoods and we are good to go...


Now, if only I can keep it looking this nice forever!

resolutions.

I suppose it would be easy for me to repeat the same resolutions I have had for years. I could be like eeeeeeeverybody else and say that I want to lose weight or work out more, but I will spare you the details. For some reason, recently I am less concerned with the number on the scale and more concerned about how my clothes fit or how I look in the mirror. 

Fact is, I do want to lose weight, I do want to work out more (Zumba!), I do want to be healthier; but I don't want to work at it. Quite the predicament, huh? Oh well, I suppose I will try harder this year, and since I recently took up 'salads', I can try to eat healthier. 

But what I really want, more than anything, is to get organized! I recently (December 31 to be exact) donated 5 bags of clothes to Goodwill and could probably donate about another 500. Husband and I have decided to get a bigger bed so we have cleaned and painted our current room, moved into another room in our house, but are only slowly working on getting a bigger bed. Today however, I decided that I want a new closet to go with my new bed. One of those cool metal wire organized closets. We will see, if I ever get around to purchasing one I will be sure to post before and afters. 

Maybe I will stick to at least one resolution this year. 

Crap, I better make one that will be easier to stick with...hmmmmm, I resolve to constantly think I have the best nephews in the world. 

Sweet. Now I can check off one resolution that I can unconditionally keep the whole year long!!!
