I’ve been at my mom’s house that last few days helping her deal with the aftermath of a pipe bursting and ruining all of her floors.  All of the furniture has been moved out and new flooring is being installed throughout the house.  It’s a big mess but things are getting done and I’m grateful that she is ok and that the damage wasn’t any worse.

Starting tomorrow, the hubs and I will be working on getting everything back in place and doing a little organizing while we are at it.  When something like this happens, it makes you look at everything in a new light and take stock of what really matters and what things you no long need or value.  My mom is ready to let some things go.

With a big organizing task ahead of me, I thought I’d share some organizing inspiration with you today.

Linen Closet Organizing

Isn’t this linen closet just beautiful?  You’d never know that this cabinet is actually a pantry piece meant to be used in the kitchen.  My mom doesn’t have a free-standing piece like this but I could use these ideas in her linen closet. The shelves on the doors are great for keeping small items visible so I’m inspired to add these storage bins to her linen closet door.

Clothes Closet Organizing

Getting my moms closets back together is going to be a task.  She has a lot of clothes and shoes but things were in a bit of disarray.  A few storage baskets and a small cubby to hold shoes will add style and order.  And I’m loving the idea of cloth bins which could hold her scarves and cold weather accessories.

Baskets are definitely my go-to decorative accessory when it come to organization.   I love the idea of using an oversized baskets in the kitchen to hold cutting boards and such.

A TJMaxx just opened in my moms hometown so while they finish up the flooring I’m off to do some shopping for baskets, bins and other goodies.  I’ll be back tomorrow with a new Favorites of The Week post so stop by and check it out.  And happy Thursday!
