HOW I ORGANIZED MY LINEN CLOSET

If you've been following along you know we renovated our master bath.  One of my best additions was a linen closet in that room.   The previous closet was large and exploding with toiletries, soaps, mis-matched towels and first aid supplies.  There were items in the back that I had forgotten I owned.  I was determined that this new closet was going to be totally organized.

We added the linen closet in the space next to the shower.   I removed the brass knobs from the doors, painted the double doors black, and added some sparkly oversized knobs to the center of the doors.

LOOKING IN FROM BEDROOM

The linen closet doors are identical to the pair of doors at the entrance to the master bedroom.   I left those doors white and kept the brass knobs on them.  If I ever find another pair of those wonderful large knobs, I'll definitely change the brass ones.  Don't miss my acanthus pendant light.

OVERSIZED KNOB

It took me a while to sort out the old linen closet.  I only kept what I needed and was able to store like items in boxes.  You'll recognize those Kate Spade boxes.
They were under my Christmas tree last year.

INSIDE MY ORGANIZED CLOSET

I only kept two sets of sheets.  This sheet set is waiting its turn on the bed.  They're also Kate Spade.  I'm sure you saw the polka dots.  I always keep some lavender soaps on hand.  The packaging is so pretty and I enjoy the hint of lavender when I open the doors.

SOAPS AND SHEETS

I only kept the leopard towel sets.  The rest of the towels were donated.  I just don't know why I had so many towels.  We have just enough now.  The tubs with lids hold all my bathroom bulk purchases.

TUBS AND TOWELS

Of course I had to add something that has nothing to do with a linen closet.  I have been accumulating quite a few plaster busts. They add some fun and the unexpected to the space.
 They always wear my jewelry.

BEJEWELED PLASTER BUSTS

I must confess that there is a top shelf which I didn't share.  It has extra blankets and pillows.
It's very neat but not pretty enough.

Have you gotten the Marie Kondo bug?  

MY KATE SPADE- INSPIRED CHRISTMAS TREE

Christmas has been a long time coming to our house.  We've had a one-month renovation that stretched well beyond two months.  I was waiting for all the construction traffic to be gone

 before I put up the tree.  Hence, very late with the decor.  For the first time in forever I don't have a live tree to decorate for Christmas.  I have a small vintage feather tree instead that I placed on the landing in the foyer.  I couldn't wait to add my Kate Spade-inspired ornaments to it.  I knew the black and white with pops of pink would really stand out on the white tree.

VINTAGE FEATHER TREE

I placed some of my Kate Spade office boxes under the tree.  

Adding ribbon makes them look like gifts.

KATE SPADE "GIFT" BOXES

The striped ribbon that I wove through the tree is very Kate.

I added some tassel ornaments to the mix.
