as much as i try, i find at heart i am not the most organized of people. as you probably can imagine, in a small apartment, this can sometimes be a problem. my biggest problem of organizing grief takes place in the bedroom. my drawers eventually find themselves full of bunched up wrinkly clothing begging to be neatly refolded and nicely stacked away. camden and i decided this year, because of our downsized lifestyle, to simplify our dressers and closets a bit especially with the promise of warmer weather ahead. we have lately been going through our clothes and setting our warm winter pieces aside to be stored until next year as well as donating a few pieces we could do without. – and it’s helped. my drawers have stayed noticeably neater, plus it always feels good to do a little organizing and cleaning with this new beginning, spring.
^ the eventual mushy clothes drawer.
^ a pile to donate, a pile to store away ’til next year, and a pile to stay within my drawer.
p.s. i like to keep a few cooler weather pieces out since i find myself in need of them from time to time year round.
and there you have it, nicely organized drawers ready for spring.
This post reminds me that I really need to start organizing and packing things away. I've been procrastinating. 🙂
I really should get on and do the same, my drawers look like a bombs hit them!

i've ended up putting my shirts and stuff in the dresser the other way. you know the way you see on pinterest where they're all up and down in the drawer? it really saves that cluttered, unorganized drawer.
i do this as the season's change as well! 🙂 always so nice to see the fresh closet, spruced up again!

i'm a constant downsizer as i get stressed when i've got too much around me, so i keep a monthly bag where i place things to donate / give to others / get rid of because i genuinely feel like having just my absolute favorites in my drawers and closet makes getting ready and daily life just easier all around. and that way i can keep all my winter / spring / summer / fall clothes out at once since i am a layering fool. and as a fellow small apartment dweller, i can definitely give testament to your feeling that living in a small space keeps you accountable to only small collections of things 🙂
I just realized that I have way to many clothes to FIT into the drawers I currently have, so I definitely think a downsizing is going to happen soon! perhaps this weekend even?
Thanks for the inspiration, I love seeing what people do in small locations!

Putting my clothes through the donate, storage or keep piles has to be the best method of spring cleaning. The hardest part is cleaning is usually just getting started, but once you start, it's hard to stop (well… usually).

I wish I had so as much beautiful clothing. Come over and organize my drawers why don't ya?
*I wish I had as much beautiful clothing …. Oops 🙂

Musy drawers made me laugh because that is exactly what you would call my drawers!
I love the feeling you get after you've done some spring cleaning. I always feel refreshed and renewed 🙂

I've been doing this too! I think this is the hardest part of Spring cleaning but also so much fun. I love being able to donate old favorites too!

I love the foxy sweater, I have a similar one 🙂 x
I love reorganizing at the beginning of each season. Creating a fresh and new environment or closest is the perfect way to kick off the Spring season! I'm a little bit of an organizational freak so I loved this post 😉
Donate?! Girl get thee to etsy stat! I'd buy your old clothes FO SHO.
You have such a lovely collection of sweaters! Also, I am so in love with all that light you have in your room!
I need to organize…
How lovely though! 🙂 I love cleaning…

Again, I really love the photography in this post. It's a simple topic, really: spring cleaning. Everyone sorts clothes like this and folds them away neatly for next time, but your pictures give it a new life and charm that I really adore.
