My goal for week 8 of the 52 Weeks of Organizing was to figure out where our weekend guests would be able to sleep in our apartment. For the last couple of years we’ve only had a twin pull-out sofa. Now we have added a full size mattress which we got second hand from friends. It’s still going to be tight, but my sister and her boyfriend are being good sports and sharing a twin bed for the weekend! I realized as I was working on this that it wasn’t so much of an organizing project, so I took a photo of another project I did this week: organizing baby clothes.
A few weeks ago I had sorted all the clothes by size, but the newborn clothes we have take up an entire drawer and opening that drawer was overwhelming to me. It all looks like a bunch of tiny pieces of fabric that I still don’t know what we will do with. So, I took a hint from my own dresser… where I divided small items by reusing cardboard. It’s very simple to make and I can write up the instructions if anyone is interested.
For the baby’s dresser, I went back and forth on whether to reuse something I already had or buy something new. In the end, the boxes that are made to fit the dresser were just perfect and hopefully the green gods will forgive me.
