Day 5: The Linen Closet

Beware. What you're about to view is not for the faint of heart. 

Our linen closet was in a horrendous state. Keep in mind that our regular bath towels aren't even in this photo (they were being washed). 

It's so easy to let closets like this get junked up! The only time I ever really go in here is when we need new towels, so it never gets the attention it deserves. Since Brandon and I lived on our own for several years before we got married, we have accumulated quite the collection of towels and sheets. I am a firm believer in not getting rid of towels until they are torn beyond use! So the majority of this closet isn't being tossed or donated, just organized. 

Here's what I decided to do: 
I ran into the dollar store and grabbed some of these white baskets to put everything in. 
We've got a basket for hand towels, kitchen towels, wash cloths and extra sheets. They are the perfect size for our shelves, and they keep piles of towels from falling over one another! 

Our bath and beach towels are simply folded on the bottom two shelves. I really can't think of a better way to store them. Do you guys have any ideas on how to better store bulky towels?
