I love the idea of sheets in a storage box!
It’s such a small change but makes everything so much neater!
I think I'm a linen hoarder! I have so many sheets and towels but I do use them all. So...there's no room for toilet paper, cleaning products, etc. But I do have other places for those. I actually had a guest who commented on how neat my linen closet was so that made me feel good! It takes so little to make me smile!
Girl I get this!! Nothing wrong with linen closets bringing joy!🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful space! I love the idea of a bin for wash cloths they always fall over when just folded!
Seriously it’s a game changer for sure!
I have been thinking about converting over to all white towels for a while now, and you just reinforced that idea for me.😀
It’s kind of a game changer!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge we do the same, all white both bathrooms!
I'm excited for this series, and also kinda surprised that I've reached this stage in my life where watching a linen closet be organized might be the most relaxing thing I've seen all day😉. Keep em coming!
No I get it - this is me as well!! Thank you for watching!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for talking about “what goes or should go in your linen closet” because where I come from, there’s no such thing as a linen closet ir pantry so I’m having to learn from others!
Love the shoebox idea. With the sheets I laughed as I'm guilty of the sheets with no bed to match. I did end up donating. I also like the bin for the face cloths.
Seriously, i have been guilty of this myself!!🤣😍
I started watching this hoping you would show how to neatly fold sheet sets, including the fitted sheets, then you blew my mind with the idea of putting sheet sets in boxes!! Mind blown yet again by Jen!! 💕
Yup. Get a box and let it go!!!!! 🤣🥰🥰🥰
That sounds like a good life motto! 😆
Sheet Set Tip: Take one of the pillow cases from the set and place the folded sheets from the set inside the case as well as any remaining pillowcases ☺
Love that idea!
You are so right about having extras! I have a VERY small house, but I do extras of the toiletries because you don't know when your cat will decide your toothbrush is actually a chew toy!
Oh man it’s a good thing they’re so cute!! 🤣😍
Yes - definitely love that zipper bin/box. Had not thought about that for flannel sheets/beach towels/seasonal things. I am also loving that for the sheets for my guest room, because again - you only use those a couple of times a year. Gotta get some!!
Definitely helps the whole thing feel more orderly!
Excellent use of that space! I love organizing and seeing creative ways to use bins/totes! My husband knows that I get twitchy if we do not have a HUGE supply of toilet tissue (& all paper products)! We have 3 bathrooms and only 3 people, but I can breath easier when we are fully stocked up! Thanks for sharing!
It’s maybe not the most exiting space in the house but boy is it important! Thanks for watching, Margy!
Wow! Using some bins to organize my linen closet would really help! So many wonderful tips!!
For years I just had everything folded on the shelves and it always looked messy! This way is much easier and looks nicer.😍😍😍
I remember using deep, floor cabinet space in a kitchen in one of our houses because we had almost no closet space! Those cabinets are hard to use for lots of small things so it was great for the extra paper products, etc. We are in the house now with the most storage we've ever had now that the kids are transitioned(ing) away from home. I've kept sheet sets inside a pillowcase for years and that also helps corral the fitted sheet even though I fold a pretty crisp fitted sheet :)
Girl, when I saw the linen closet in this house I may have cried. I LOVE the storage in this house and I never take it for granted because in all our other houses I didn't have it!!
Thank you for the tips! Love the idea of putting sheets in boxes! That is very helpful for our family!
It really helps us as well!!
I love the bin idea! We also have those terrible shelves. Also I love the boxes going vertical because we have that extra top space!
Oh gosh also just today I said - I think we have a pillow with a sham to a comforter we no longer own! #oneboxWednesday 👏🏻
Thank you for the great ideas!
It's amazing what takes up space in our houses without us realizes it!! Happens to all of us.
Thanks for the reminder to buy toilet paper! No one needs to drive 30 minutes just to buy some now. Very nicely organized linen closet!
Thanks, Cindy!!🤣🥰
This was great, I actually just did mine a few weekends ago. The hooks for the swiffer blew my mind!!!!! I’m going to do that!
It’s always the smallest things that have the biggest impact, right?! Thanks for watching, Jacqueline!
Thank you for great ideas and tips Jen! This is on my organizational/cleaning list!!
My pleasure, Lisa! Thanks for watching!
I like the "seasonal stuff" in some kind of bin / box / bag. We have beach towels a-plenty and having a bin for them is a great idea....(we have a community pool so those get used all summer long)
Yeah I totally get that!! Helps to have it all in one place for sure.
Love the sheets in boxes idea.
The lighting on this is great!
Well thank you
Amen about the ventilated wire shelving. That stuff sucks! For the new house that we had built earlier this year, we told the builder not to even install it in most of the closets. Great organization video!
In the other closets where I took it out it was actually sticky and completely disgusting. At least in this closet they were in good shape. I did the demo myself and it was glorious.🤣😍
My linen closet is a built in corner cabinet. I always have the hardest sheets organized on them!
Girl, I so get this. Our last house the only "linen closet" I had was a cabinet over our toilet. I got very creative.
Would LOVE to see a video on that! Getting creative for storage in small places.
I love a good pantry organization video. I can’t wait
Coming soon!! I have so many videos to film!!
Such a good hair day!! Looked fabulous💁🏻♀️
Anyways! Great organization tips. Our linen closet is non-existent, but we did designate a whole shelf in our closet for linens and such!
Thanks, Nataly!!
Husband just walked through the door and says is that Jen 😂 he knows your voice . I organise always have back ups and then a phone call from one of the daughters ' have you got ? I have run out of. ' and son in law sent to collect supplies lol I guess they think they don't have to organise because mum does 😂
Yup - it’s why I don’t think we are ever really done mothering!!🥰
My mom use to bring home the little hotel soaps and put them opened between the folded sheets in the linen closet. Sheets always smelled so good when making the bed. 💖
I love that idea!
Terrific video! Good ideas all around. Will be implementing a lot of them
Hey Jen. Such a timely vlog. We're starting a small remodel project w/ of all things, a new linen closet instal. I appreciate your thoughts on this as I too find organization invaluable.
My favorite thing about this closet is that it’s deep enough to hold my vacuum! Good luck with the project, Jeffrey!
And now, I want to tear apart my closet. Haha : ) Thanks for the tips, Jen!
Whoops I always seem to cost people time or money!🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
I need to reorganize my linen closets now. I love the box for each sheet set. Genius.
Happy organizing, Lisa! Thanks for watching!
The only thing i make sure i do other than all this is folding our towls to fit the shelves and fit more to a shelf.
Your linen closet is huge! I’m so jealous. 😂 Mine is weirdly shaped & the shelves are super shallow. I had to get creative with my folding to get my towels & sheets on the shelves.
Uh yes, I get this. I’ve lived in homes with very challenging linen storage!
Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge Our last house had a small linen closet (the door into it was tiny), but the shelves were lovely & deep. Plus there was a bonus larger shelved closet down the hall. But this house just has the one, oddly triangular closet with shelves that are very shallow. 😔 I wish I could do boxes, but they are just too tiny. We make it work tho. My husband laughs because my folding is super specific & if he does it wrong I refold. That’s the only way to keep it from all pitching off the shelf tho!
I love how organized and neat your linen closet is! All the bins seem to really help to keep things separated by categories. In our linen closet at my house, we store the bedsheets in the zippered plastic bags that they come in when we purchase them.
That’s a fantastic idea, Katelyn!
Thank you this is so helpful so happy I found your channel.
I'm so glad you did too and that's wonderful that you found it helpful!
Definitely going to reorganize and add the sheets in the box idea. I feel like we have too much stuff in there after organizing our closet from your video I know what’s next haha “one box Wednesday” linen closet edition lol
Yeah it’s amazing what ends up ok there that doesn’t belong!
I really love this Jen!! Thank you so much !!! ❤️
Absolutely my pleasure! Thank you for watching!
I've never thought of putting sheets in a box! I love that idea!
It really makes the closet so much neater and I love that!!
My linen closet is like 2’ by 7’ so these are awesome tricks to keep my closet organized. I start out with full sets of bedding for each room and fast as lighting, they’re all missing pieces to them. I’m excited to try these tricks. Thanks Jen 😊
Yes how does that always happen?!?!🤣🤣😍
Sheet sets in their own box ... genius! 🤯
Yup. Changing the world one organized linen closet at a time.🤣😍
So I dont think I commented on this video...what ever is wrong with me! I think it was because I then got distracted and was thinking about how I'm going to organize my small linen closet that is kinda a makeshift thing. Cant wait to see more videos about organizing!
Lol you get a pass Jenny. Just this once.🤣🥰
I'm glad you mentioned not having a linen closet! ...I was about to ask. :) It makes for a "fun" challenge. Lol
Oh yes so fun....one house a used an old dresser as a linen “closet”. It actually worked pretty well but not ideal!
@@JoyfulLivingwithJenLefforge I actually have large drawers I should better use in the kids' bathroom. Hmmm...
But what are your thoughts on where to store if there are bedrooms/bathrooms on multiple levels? Centralize or store near where they are used?
Yes! I love this series!! This was exactly what I needed in my life! Jen Lefforge for the win!
Awww thanks, Megan!!
After watching this, I organized my closet shelf. I have been dreading doing this for a long time. I would have done my linen closet, if only I had one. :(
It’s all about doing what you can! And yes I get how frustrating that is!
First off, your hair looks fabulous! This was a great video, but I really wish you still had little ones so we could see how you'd organize playrooms/toys! 😂
Well don’t forget I worked for a storage and organizational store so I have some toy tips too!!
My linen closet is the space I organize and clean out the most often, it’s such a good feeling to open it and see it looking nice. But it’s always a struggle to stay that way.
It is always a work experience in progress for me too Dawn!
Love your ideas. I buy the extras, but not so neat at storing them.
I find if I have them stored neatly it’s easier to know what I have. I learned this lesson the hard way!
I watched the whole video, even though I don’t have a linen closet lol. I’m glad you mentioned that at the end. In our first apartment, we didn’t have any storage in our bathroom so we used a liquor cabinet that we got on clearance from Ikea. 😂 We didn’t know that’s what it was. We just liked that it was like 70% off and were broken newlyweds and then put it together and were like “oohh” 🤣 Now we have a good sized house but still no linen closet! So we have extra towels in each bathroom and one set of extra sheets per bed in each bedroom. Extra toiletries in the bathroom (and we keep that very minimal) and extra paper goods in our basement. Sometimes I wish it was all together but everything has a home and generally it’s where we’d need it so 🤷🏼♀️
Yup we once used a dresser as a linen closet! I remember the broke newlywed days quite well.🤣🤣😍😍😍
I am looking forward to the rest of this series. My linen closet is fairly well organized (although I have an overabundance of bath towels), but definitely will take some of your tips to make it a little bit better, particularly using a bin to organize face cloths.
Seriously that's a game changer, Ashley!! Thanks for watching!
1. Your hair is on point.
2. I suddenly have the urge to organize every single closet in our house.
Thank you and yes do it!!
You are so organized. #goals
Well thank you! It doesn’t come naturally to me so I have to work at it.😍
After watching this, I know that I need to reorganize!
Hurray! Glad I could provide some inspiration😍
love this!
I love the sheets separated in boxes idea! Thanks again for sharing great ideas! Did you work at the container store? I've never been, but am thinking I must get there someday.
I did!! Worked for them for 3 years and loved it. Learned a lot!
This was so helpful. I got to work clearing out my linen closet of all the miscellaneous junk in it that was not linens. Where do you keep your kitchen & table linens?
They are mostly in my hutch in the dining room and (believe it or not) our entry coat closet. Seasonal linens I keep with the Christmas stuff.
Hair on point. 💁♂️❤️😘
Btw your linen closet made me smile. Organization makes my heart sing. ❤️😘
Thanks so much, Major!!
Why has it never occurred to me to put sheets in a box? Genius. Now, if I only had a linen closet, sigh.
I get this!!
OMG, I’m quickly becoming obsessed with your organization videos. NEW FAVORITE SERIES. Please come visit me. I need your skills, LOL
Lol not doing I’m home consultations at the moment but maybe!🤣😍
Ha! Well, I’ll be first in line if you add that!
White sheets? You are so brave with your dogs. Do you keep them off the bed?
Honestly I've never had trouble with white sheets! But they also go to the groomer a lot and are basically indoor dogs.
I have organization envy again ! I love the idea of the sheets in their own zippered boxes. I had previously organized them in multi-purpose plastic bins - but they ended up smelling like plastic :( I'll have to try the boxes next. :)
YES that plastic smell is no good!
Lol lack of linen closet. I keep ending up in houses that dont really have one and wtf?? I have a sort of one in my upstairs guest bathroom. But it is angled. It is amazing when you are walking through a model home and dont notice the little things that should be there.
Jaime, I get this so much!! They distract you with pretty things! LOL!
I have a husband who works a lot with grease, I have always dreamed of having all white towels does bleach get out grease and all stains? I have always shied away in favor of a gray color.
I have no idea because grease isn’t something we deal with? I’m honestly not sure!
Where did you get the zipper box? I could really use something like that
It’s from The Container Store 😍
You can never have enough backups. Nothing worse then dropping your toothbrush and realizing you don’t have a spare....ew!
Exactly my point.😫🥰
