Miscellaneous: Closet Clean Out

I got a wild hair over the weekend and decided I needed to re-organize my closet.  Well, it started with the idea of going through my shoes and that kind of snowballed.  I took things out willy-nilly until I was standing there after work yesterday looking at this:

My bad.

Before I continue, I should mention that my closet is actually in the guest room/office.  Hubsey lived in the condo first and when I moved in, he offered to share the master closet with me.  That worked for about 12 seconds.

So here we are many months later and things have gotten a little snug.  First, I downsized the shoes.  These are going to GoodWill...

Peace out!

...and the ones I kept now live in this bin.

Then I went through all the crap that was kept on the floor (the giant box in the first picture is for the Christmas tree, which my sister is kindly taking off our hands), and purged the purses.

And now my closet looks like this:

Much better!  It's amazing how much we can squeeze into an 850 square foot condo.  I'm afraid to see what will happen to us once we have a house...

Have you re-organized anything lately?  Are you also perplexed about how you ended up with so much stuff?  I went through my box of records, too, and wondered why I even had a few of them.  Sigh.
