Houston Professional Organizer // Supply, Craft & Storage Closet Organization Before & After

Last year we helped this regular client organize her supply and art closet. They already had a good base started and we just added a few new bins and we added all new labels. This was a closet that the kids constantly came in for various school supplies. Now with many kids starting school virtually I am sure this art supply closet is coming in handy a lot. 

Here is what we did to get it under control again:

• Take everything out.
• Sort all like items together.
• Get rid of any trash.
• Organize supplies into white bins.
• Label all bins. 
• Put similar bin sizes together. 
• Move books and binders to lower shelves.

Here are the supplies that we used:

• White bins
• Labels 
• Label Sleeves
• Label Maker
• Label Tape
