The embarrassing part

So I have established that the first room to organize and brighten the lights in is the office. The rule is to work from the inside out. This means I must tackle the closet first. I've decided to move all clothes out of this closet and into the hallway closet (where I will be able to find my clothes).

Unfortunately the hallway closet is filled with useless things that need to be thrown out or stored in different places (such as the multiple boxes filled with CDs, the air mattress which is never used, and sports gear). So the first project is actually the hallway closet!

Here comes the hard part.... actually showing the before pictures.... don't judge too hard!

These are before pictures of the office closet (currently being used as nothing because it's impossible to even open! )

In my defense, there is only a tiny portion in the office closet that CAN be used. 75% of the closet is taken up by a water heater and insulation. So I really did not have much to work with.

Here are before hallway closet pictures:

Stay tuned for what an hour can do......
