The white/cream towels in the basket on the left are actually for my powder room. The gold/tan towels are bath towels for the Master Bath(which is where the linen closet is locate)White washcloths are in the basket on the right...I use white washcloths to take makeup off and wash my face in the morning. They are thinner than the ones that match the towels and because they are white, I can bleach them. Plus, thin white washcloths are inexpensive and I can replace them every couple of years or so. Regarding all your linens and towels... only put the ones you actually use in your linen closet. Store the other ones somewhere else if you don't want to get rid of them. Store blankets, pillows, quilts throws, etc under your bed in plastic containers or bags, or put them in an armoire. Your linen closet should be kept neat and organized so you aren't digging for things(which makes more work for you). I keep my tablecloths and napkins in other cabinets around the house. I have tablecloths in a dresser in the foyer, which is next to the dining room. I have napkins in an antique cabinet in the family room right next to the breakfast room.Pam - @diy Design Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303399189647950307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-3281162637687872412012-01-29T22:18:36.353-05:002012-01-29T22:18:36.353-05:00Hey,the closet looks great! Now I have a question ...Hey,the closet looks great! Now I have a question for you. I see you have a number of white towels folded, and what looks like a tan or taupe color are rolled..are they extra large ones? What is white, folded up in the two baskets..white wash cloths? We've been married 48 yrs. next month and were blessed with many wedding gifts of towels..well, most of them wore out and I gave the others to my sister-in-law to use on her dogs or County dog shelter here. Along the way, we have bought new ones. Last year the kids got together and picked out these real thick towels sets and they are larger than any of our other towels, and I hate them and also the colors they chose. A woman I worked for had me to fold the wash cloth up inside the towel so she wouldn't have to go looking for the matching wash cloth..I've tried that here and DH forgets and go rooting through all the washcloths that are folded up for a match and never puts the wash cloths back neatly. I've heard some people that have organizing blogs say they buy all one color and the linen closet looks neater than a mixture of different colors. That sounds like a good idea. I don't have enough room for everything that I have..bedlinens, extra pillows, blankets, quilts, throws, tablecloths and napkins, etc. Where do you keep all of them?<br />We downsized from a large house 7 yrs. ago with oddles of storage spaces to a smaller home in a Sr. citizens community that lacks a lot of storage space. I like the basket idea with liners. Don't you just love Home Goods? I'm like the lady who thinks she has enough baskets and ends up needing more and when I go back for more to match, they are no longer available and then you end up with hodgepodge. My DH hates when I have to take something back because it doesn't fit, or whatever the reason.Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977307823050840802.post-34181122340075728512011-09-23T13:47:53.022-04:002011-09-23T13:47:53.022-04:00The closet looks amazing!
