Ok, maybe revolutionized is a bit strong, but it definitely organized my linen closet. And it's soooooo simple! We have 6 beds being used in this house, soon to be 7. That's a lot of fitted sheets, flat sheets, and pillowcases.
Here's the tip: when you wash and fold your sheets, tuck all the sheets and pillowcases of the set into one of the pillowcases in that same set!!
For example, the following is my daughter's twin sheet set. I folded the flat sheet and fitted sheet and put them both into the pillow case. Then, when I'm looking in my linen closet for a twin set, I just grab that pillowcase, and everything's together!
For queen sizes, I fold the flat and fitted sheets and one pillowcase and tuck it all into the other pillowcase. For crib sheets, I have a very stretchy knit pillowcase that I fold all of the crib sheets into.
All of this stacks nicely and neatly into the linen closet if you stack them. If you let your 6-and-8-year-olds stack them, it's not so nice and neat (which is why I'm not showing you a picture inside my linen closet itself). However, even if they're all jumbled in your closet, it's still so easy to find exactly what you're looking for when everything is nicely contained together!
What tips have revolutionized your life?
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
