How I Organize My Bed Linens

I showed How I Organize My Bathroom,
 and How I Organize My Drawers, so today
I'll show how I store and organize
my bed linens in the bedroom.
I have this huge armoire cabinet in the 
bedroom that is opposite the bed. I had
 been looking for one that, not only had lots
 of cabinet storage, but drawers as well.
 I could use drawers in place of a dresser. 
I finally found this one on Craigslist for $250
 and they threw in the 36" TV because they 
were getting a new one. A good deal!
This was just what I needed.
 It's all solid wood and very heavy. I plan to
 paint it or at least change the hardware as
 soon as I find something I like...at a bargain.
 You've see how I filled the top with quilts
 in this post, Decorating With Quilts.
 The cabinet on the left side holds all the
 sheets and pillowcases.
 I moved them out of the bathroom closet 
because it made more sense to store them
 here in the bedroom,
 I don't think of these things all at once. 
Sometimes it's a 'duh' moment. 
Know what I mean?
 I keep the top sheets on one shelf and 
the fitted  bottom sheets below. I have
 lots of pillowcases. I like to mix and match. 
I fold everything in half then in thirds 
so that the folded smooth edge
 shows out and it keeps everything neat.
 I made a few lavender sachets for the linen
cabinet using my Mother's vintage hankies.
note: Loose lavender stored in a tennis can.
 A pile of loose lavender in the center.
 Tied into a bundle with ribbon.
This sweet little reminder sits on the shelf. 

Cheers!

  7. You certainly are little Ms Organizer! You armoire cabinet is gorgeous, what a find. The upstairs of the Charmer has NO storage, it's such a struggle to finds places for everything that needs a home.

  9. Hi, I love how you store your linens. I wish I had an armoire like that. I can only keep two sets of linens at a time because I have no storage in my home. Congratulations on your feature too.
