Our hallway closet was a MESS! It is where we were keeping old electronics, giftwrap, paper plates and serveware, gifts, puzzles and games, travel gear, and some memorabilia. First I took everything out. That armoire went elsewhere. Next, I created categories and put items into the right bin: gifts, specific holidays, extension cords, etc.
Here’s the result of that process – much better. The left side is all bins. The top is all games and gifts. 
Our awesome handyman built us 2 shelves with a pagboard back. I keep tools there and underneath are hurricane supplies like batteries, nonperishable food, paper goods, etc. Now that we have our garage back I can probably move some of this out there. So now I can walk in to the closet and all is well.
Below is our laundry room. It’s the same except for livening it up with a bold color choice. I only just hung those pictures today… for this post. So thank you!
And finally, the art room. I bought drawer units and a desk top from IKEA to have another space where I can work. I like looking out to the front yard there. 
So that’s all the inside changes… let’s move on to outside!
