Walk in closet with DH.  We undertook the job of painting our bedroom and the closet since all of our social activities have been curtailed due to Covid-19 social distancing.  It took us 5 days to pack up our clothes, dismantle the closet organizer system,  prep and patch the walls, and paint.  As we put everything back together, I used the opportunity to wipe down all the furniture with Murphy’ Oil, wash windows, wipe down doors, clean light fixtures, etc.  <div> </div><div>#1 my side #2 DH’s side #3 shoes  #4-5 clothes #6 the closet seen from the bedroom #7 previous colours - at some time in the past - purple!, however we lived with the golden brown (previous owner’s choice) for almost 6 years.  DH only now told me he HATED it!</div><div>#8 BM ‘Soft Fern’ </div> Angie on "If you're doing any of Angie's suggested "Wardrobe Chores"" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-youre-doing-any-of-angies-suggested-wardrobe-chores/page/2#post-2107608 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 22:11:07 +0000 Angie 2107608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay, ladies!

I started to combine the season swap with cleaning. I was leary because my FB memories showed snow this week 3 years ago, but I decided to go for it. Washed and put away all the hats, gloves, snowboots, scarves and puffers. Shoe swap is next (where to get pool noodles in isolation? That's a GREAT tip). Last week I did things like clean the dishwasher and washing machine (vinegar and baking soda). I've been ruthlessly discovering donations throughout the house while trying to make space for the entire family to be home together ALL THE TIME.  Hang in there everyone! nemosmom on "If you're doing any of Angie's suggested "Wardrobe Chores"" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-youre-doing-any-of-angies-suggested-wardrobe-chores/page/2#post-2107477 Sat, 21 Mar 2020 13:07:32 +0000 nemosmom 2107477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooooh, April, nice work!!

Now, my outerwear has it's own section, all of my Out and About toppers, tops, and dresses, have another section, the At Home tops and toppers have a third section, and the Layering Tops and Bottoms still share the last section. Much more functional. Next project should be to check all of my shoes for needed attention. I've also spent the last two days washing three weeks of clothes and linens from our SW MH trip. My dryer is taking forever to dry anything and I'm not sure what is wrong. it's only one year old. We've checked the vents and tubing and everything seems OK.    Anonymous on "If you're doing any of Angie's suggested "Wardrobe Chores"" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-youre-doing-any-of-angies-suggested-wardrobe-chores/page/2#post-2107159 Fri, 20 Mar 2020 04:22:19 +0000 Anonymous 2107159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, I am .ovi g the look of those sparkling white sneakers.
