It’s such a small change but makes everything so much neater!

I think I'm a linen hoarder! I have so many sheets and towels but I do use them all. So...there's no room for toilet paper, cleaning products, etc. But I do have other places for those. I actually had a guest who commented on how neat my linen closet was so that made me feel good! It takes so little to make me smile!

For years I just had everything folded on the shelves and it always looked messy! This way is much easier and looks nicer.😍😍😍

I remember using deep, floor cabinet space in a kitchen in one of our houses because we had almost no closet space! Those cabinets are hard to use for lots of small things so it was great for the extra paper products, etc. We are in the house now with the most storage we've ever had now that the kids are transitioned(ing) away from home. I've kept sheet sets inside a pillowcase for years and that also helps corral the fitted sheet even though I fold a pretty crisp fitted sheet :)

But this house just has the one, oddly triangular closet with shelves that are very shallow. 😔 I wish I could do boxes, but they are just too tiny. We make it work tho. My husband laughs because my folding is super specific & if he does it wrong I refold. That’s the only way to keep it from all pitching off the shelf tho!

I watched the whole video, even though I don’t have a linen closet lol. I’m glad you mentioned that at the end. In our first apartment, we didn’t have any storage in our bathroom so we used a liquor cabinet that we got on clearance from Ikea. 😂 We didn’t know that’s what it was. We just liked that it was like 70% off and were broken newlyweds and then put it together and were like “oohh” 🤣 Now we have a good sized house but still no linen closet! So we have extra towels in each bathroom and one set of extra sheets per bed in each bedroom. Extra toiletries in the bathroom (and we keep that very minimal) and extra paper goods in our basement. Sometimes I wish it was all together but everything has a home and generally it’s where we’d need it so 🤷🏼‍♀️
