Projectitis: a disease in which the sufferer is compelled to begin new creative pursuits, regardless of the number of other unfinished projects that may be scattered about the home. Often inherited from family members; may be contagious.

As promised ... the "after" pictures
The whole closet fiasco has turned out to be really one of the best things we could have done. Granted, the sun has come out, so the upturn in mood may be not solely attributed to the great cleaning/purge, but I like to think of it as the turning point of my winter. Everything looked bad until that day.
So, yes, attached are photos that prove that my husband rules.
:)
In the spirit of full disclosure, I must admit that I liked the closet best when there wasn't any stuff in it. But even now it's still all nicely and neatly arranged. All my shoes are in boxes, all the bedding is in bins, sweaters are in bins, clothes are hung up. I'm not sure how long that will last. Hopefully because it's so *easy* now, it will last forever.
Oh! Bonus! My vacuum now lives in the closet! It used to not have any place to live, so it stayed in a corner in the living room. Now, it has its own nook in the closet, right next to the step-ladder that used to be shoved into a corner in the kitchen. Yay for places to put things!

This crazy family has *no stuff* therefore *no clutter* and *no waste.*
Personally, I think this woman is pathological. I can't imagine a life without all my creative projects and the stuff they require.
