My husband has been so great about making extra shelves in closets so they can be more efficiently used. Thanks for the inspiration to post about it. I’ll be checking back for lots more of your tips!

I also cut the picture off of the front of the puzzle box, then put the picture and the pieces in a ziploc bag in a basket.

We call the type of organizing you did today “If you give a mouse a cookie…” because of the children’s book.

Here’s a hint for keeping puzzle pieces organized: turn a completed puzzle and, using permanent marker, write a number or letter of the alphabet on every piece. Put the same number on the zipper bag where you dump the deconstructed puzzle.

That way, if a piece here and there ends up under the couch (trust me, they always do), then when you find it 3 months later, you know to which puzzle (and bag) that piece belongs.

Tip for moms of asthma sufferers: check out sites on celiac disease (www.glutenfree.com,www.celiac.com). I know several moms whose kids had only ONE symptom of celiac disease: asthma. When the celiac was treated (by diet, not by meds!), the asthma disappeared.

Nice job–as always! Gives me some ideas for the shelf in my laundry closet I’m tackling soon.

Our game closet looks good but just like yours its full of puzzles and games that no-one uses anymore but we don’t want to get rid of! Ugh!

Kim’s idea of cutting the front picture off the box and putting it with the pieces into a ziploc bag and then ALL the puzzles together in ONE BASKET is a super great idea! That will definitely free up a little space for me anyway. It’s a great start!

My son’s closet makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Looks great!

I will 100% agree with you that if there isn’t a container to contain, the “stuff” can get out of hand. Great little makeover!
