Clearly it’s not my fault…
Ever wonder where this organizing junkie gets her crazy out of control over the top container obsession from?
Meet my mother’s bathroom closet:
Is it all making sense to you now?

That looks like MY bathroom cabinets! I’m a container junkie too, you know?! LOL
This is so funny, my mother is not like this at all – crammed chaos as far as the eye can see… but in response and in my great rebellion (!) my cupboards do indeed look like this.
It looks like heaven!
That is awesome!
Indeed. The best obsessions are inherited. ;)
Oh My, This is something I’m going to pass down to my kids? Cool maybe by then they can keep there own homes clutter free. LOL
That would drive me crazy though since the baskets are not all matching. I would have to have all identical baskets to keep myself sane :)
I am enthralled…now if I just had a cabinet to put the containers in! :( (sigh)
You mean eventually our kids could inherit organizing tendencies??? Yay!!!
It’s all crystal clear:-) Hee, hee, hee.
I love that they are all white but in my obsessive little mind they need to be the same…I know they have to fit but I want that magazine look!
ha ha, too funny. Like mother like daughter.
It looks like my closet but my oldest daughter didn’t get the organizing bug from me. My daughter got it big time and is very particular about how she stores things! Go figure!
Oh my goodness, that is FUN-NY!
Ah ah ah……..I am laughing out loud right now! That is tooo funny sista! There really is no possibility of you recovering — what if it gets worse? What if there isn’t ever a cure…..EVER…….
Your a closet snooper aren’t you? You are one of those people who look in other peoples closet when your baby sitting lol. Just kidding.
Well at least now you know lol
Hugs.

It makes sense, but it’s still unnerving.
Not because of you, but because I can identify the origins of some of those containers and tell you where they are in my own house!
*SWOOOOOOON* I <3 your mom! If only I were so lucky!
One day my new bathrooms will be that organized! (I just moved into a new home and as usual, it’s an experiment to figure out what to do in the new place.)
That is my dream!

I am organized but haven’t caught the container bug yet. Will look next time I am at the dollar store
Ohhhh. I will probably dream about that tonight.
This picture is pure bliss…love it! I’m gonna show my husband this one so that he understands that I’m not the only crazy one out there!! I should own stock at The Container Store!! Ha ha ha!! :)
Aha! It does all make sense now. Sounds like you’re having a WONDERFUL time!!
Great minds think alike! Good for your Mom; she has duplicated herself.
Wow, what a great closet! Does she do home visits, my bathroom cabinet needs a makeover!

Well that apple didn’t fall from the tree did it? LOL.
Ahhhh, yes, now I understand YOU! ha ha.
I love it!
A mom after my on heart :)
I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. What does that say about me? =)
It is beautiful.
Lol! Yup, I get mine from my Dad!
So you inherited from your mother? My mother inherits from me. I’m constantly buying her organizing stuff for Christmas!
She’s constantly bringing over stuff from her house that she wants to get rid of, “just in case you need it.”
I think what she means is, “So you can take it to Goodwill so I don’t have to.”
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
The mother-daughter link is alive and well!
Hope you had a great birthday!
gosh, I wish mine looked like this! :)
Oh, and I am having a giveaway over at my blog, I would love for you to come check it out! :)
haha same here…. I just found out there’s a store called… The Container Store. I know, apparently I’ve been living under a rock because I never knew this… I haven’t been to the store yet, it’s probably a good thing. I might have a stroke. :)
Now that’s funny! :-)
Oh I am so impressed! It makes me want to run out and buy containers. I’m an organization Flunkie though!
Wow! That is funny! It is not bad. At least you got something useful from your mom. My mom is a worrier, what am I? Yep! I wish I got the organizing gene.
Check out this post on my blog. I go crazy over organizing my closets, too.
Just a question.. but why does everything have to be in a container?
I don’t like them. I think they look plasticky. I would rather look at the pretty packaging of items. Is this wrong? (I dislike labelling more… unless it is school supplies and clothes that go to school/camp).
I understand the one for the hairbrushes (they roll around and generally look messy and tossed about) but I need to be sold on the benefits of containerization a little more before I buy into it 100%
Great question Marcy! First it’s NOT wrong if you don’t like them…your way is the right way provided you can find what you need when you need it and are able to define some limits and boundaries for your stuff in some way. I find containers really do that for me. I wrote about it here:

Anyway I hope that helps you see why I love them so much.
Thanks!
