Martha. You either love her or hate her. Regardless, that woman has mad skills AND way too much time on her hands (as my mother always says). I think everyone has had a "Martha Moment" where we try to be super crafty or organized or innovative. Channeling your inner Martha takes a lot of work and can be frustrating as all get-out because she (and her team of thousands I imagine) make it look so easy! Case in point...I have tried a cazillion time to fold my fitted sheets like this and it NEVER looks like this. I mean NEVER, not a once.

Just in case you feel a "Martha Moment" coming on while tackling your linen closet, here are some of her helpful hints:
-Make sure everything is visible and that everyday items are easy to reach
-Out of season items like beach towels or heavy comforters should be at the top of the closet while everyday items like bed sheets should be in the middle
-Group items by category and label the shelves so items are easy to find
-Make sure all items have room to breath so they don't get damaged
-To keep antique linens from yellowing, use tissue paper to separate them from each other and don't stack them too high to prevent enticing bugs and mold
-Use zippered cloth or plastic bags to store and protect items like comforters and blankets
-Hang table lines instead of folding to prevent wrinkles
