I'm a Virgo. Born in mid-September, this has predestined that I love details, love organization, am a bit fussy, and need cleanliness in order to survive. This works out well for my Libra husband, because he just slowly backs out of the room and rolls with the punches whenever I go on a crazy cleaning spree.
Mess causes me stress. (Ironically, this was my nickname growing up). Scotty's closet, that odd-shaped room off of the family room, has slowly morphed from a cute kid's area into a trigger for a panic attack for me. I've taken to simply closing both doors in order to pretend the mess is not there.
No more, friends. I am taking control of this giant stuffed-animal-Leggo-graveyard-home-to-Brian's-countless-bottles-of-Gatorade dump.

Those boxes and racks are my elfa Shelving from The Container, freshly picked up earlier this morning. By Monday, we should have a completely new room - fresh paint, pantry shelves, a desk for Scott (!!), and a place to put all of his toys.
I am beyond excited about this project. The good people at The Container Store are helping to make my vision a reality, and it should be glorious. I love organization so much that if forced to use, I think I would pick a closet re-design over jewelry. Really. What can I say? I put the "fun" in "functionality."
