House Organizing Week 5- Game Closet

Today I tackled our game closet. It is in our living room, next to where I teach my violin lessons, so I store my my music things in the closet as well. This last weekend my mother-in-law gave us a bunch of the families old board games. As you can see there wasn't any space to put any of the new games. It had been way to long since I organized anything in it.


This is what It looks like now...so much better!


The top shelf holds a bunch of bigger music books, mostly ones that belonged to my great aunt and uncle. I also placed all of our musical instruments on the top two shelves to the right.


In the middle section are our games. It's wonderful to have so many games to choose from. I also put my stereo under the main control box that controls our hidden speakers in the living room.


Here are all of the books that my students are currently using, so that I can prepare for lessons. Also I keep notebooks here to keep track of what my students are studying.


The bottom shelves hold all of my great uncles records, as well as more of his music books. I placed all of my piano books on the shelves as well. With so many of my great uncle's records still in the closet there isn't enough room to put all of my violin books so they are organized in the plastic containers.


There were already cd holders on the wall of the closet so I place all of our music cds in them. For our wedding we got the pink photo box. I never knew what to do with it, but now it holds all of my flashcards I use for teaching as well as my husband's oboe reeds and other small things need for my lessons.


Even though I get half way through and just don't feel like going any farther it feels so wonderful when an area is all organized. Now on to the next project, what will it be...
