MISS MOOX + Organizing

Oh, Martha

Yeah right, like this ever happens!

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
