Today I took off a half day at work for something very important to me, organization.
After two visits to
The Container Store to design my coat/entry and linen closets, today the elfa closets were installed this afternoon and totally worth half the vacation day. I need/crave order and organization in my life and my closets were not working for me, so I took advantage of the Container Store's elfa sale.
Here is before (its a bit scary, even for me)
On Thursday, all the elfa components were delivered. It was a very interesting elevator ride up with everything on a cart. I spent the evening taking everything out of the closets, well everything out of the 'linen' closet just fell out when I opened the door. My living room looked like a bomb exploded and I just moved in, again.

The install was actually pretty quick, but noisy. The installers had to cut the wires which is like nails on a chalk board. But they moved pretty quick and you'd be amazed how much space you really have when you utilize it.

Then it was time for my favorite part, getting organized. Its like putting together a puzzle, figuring out where everything should go. It only really took about an hour after the installers left for everything to find a new home.
And my finished OCD product.

From one OCD human being to another...BRAVO! That's such a good feeling! I saw that you nominated me for the liebster award and I feel honored but unqualified as I have no other blogger friends to nominate in return. I hope my lack of social life doesn't influence your chances of winning!
