Let the fun begin, Basement closet project

Here is what I started with, Oy!!!  where to begin.  I decided the easiest thing was to just bring it all out, filling up my basement family room.  I placed things in like piles and ended up trowing out 1/4 of if.  Relief sets in, as it starts to come together.  After 2 days......

I have the beginnings of an organized closet.  But don't let the bare shelves fool you.  There is still several items on the floor of my family room.

I had boxes and bags of ribbon and gift wrapping adornments.  I took plastic containers and shallow boxes to organize according to either color group, season or holiday.  It fits neatly on a newly cleaned shelf.

I now see happiness over my husbands face, which surprisingly makes me happy too.  Happy Family :-)

I'll post a photo of the final project, but give me until the end of the weekend.......
