Today’s A Bowl Full of Lemons’ 21 Day Organization Challenge was to tackle our linen closets. Our house was built in 1918, so we do have some of the cute little built-ins common to the era – one of which is our linen closet. It has a cupboard with two shelves and three drawers below.
When I saw that this was today’s challenge, I actually thought I was getting off easy since I do a pretty good job of keeping all my sheets folded together as a set by size – see the top right photo in the collage. But, the cupboard and the other drawers were a bit out of control.
Don’t you love the hand-embroidered and crocheted pillowcases and doilies my Grannie made? I had a few before and received several more after her death. I also have a beautiful piece of handmade bobbin lace from Belgium in the blue paper bag that I keep pulling out and looking at and then putting it back because I don’t really know what to do with it. I’m not a lace on top of the dresser kind of girl, and it seems sort of sacrilegious to craft with it – ya know? Any ideas?
wow what a difference! great job!!
