Well, I finally did it. I have wanted to paint and organize the linen closet for a year now, and I finally got it done! It was crazy, because I was set on painting it before getting it organized, so it stayed like this for waaaay too long. As you can see below, I first had to haul all the stuff out and throw it on the bed (my husband and I slept in the guest room that night!). I decided to put my flannel sheet sets upstairs with the winter clothes and also stored some other things that we donโ’t use very much in other places. Then I painted it blue (Crystal Waters, Behr) and the shelves a basic white glossy finish for easy cleaning. I bought some baskets and plastic bins, and voila! Now I open it up just to breathe a sigh of relief. It feels so good. On to the next project . . .

I live in a historic neighborhood in the Midwest where I get lots of inspiration!
Getting organized feels so good, doesn’t it?! I have a linen closet that needs to be tackled too – seeing this post makes me want to get it done. Thanks Ann! ๐
Good for you Ann! Freedom is an organized closet. I am in the middle of organizing a closet in the guest room…can’t wait for that feeling of satisfaction! Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers!
Looks great! Good for you.
Would love that big of a closet for linens, but the I might buy more! It’s amazing just turning the towels so they all have the cold to the front makes a shelf look so much neater.
I’m sorry auto correct is not my friend. It was supposed to read it’s amazing how just turning the towels so they all have their fold to the front makes a shelf look so much neater.
That looks so neat and tidy. I had to laugh at all the clothes on the bed. My son’s bedroom looks very much like that…… and he isn’t in the middle of decorating….. he is simply a scruffy student.
