Coat Closet Clutter and Other Things From my Saturday Night

Saturday night my dad called and wanted to go to dinner since my mom was gone for the evening. After we ate, we went back to my house, where I proceeded to engage him in some projects from my ever-growing and never-ending "Dad Do List" (like the "honey do list" only I don't have a honey). Here's some of what we did, turning these items from clutter sitting around unhung, into decor that is finally being used:

This rack holds 5 brooms/mops etc. We also hung my fly swatter and feather dusters.

After this project, we played card games. When I was picking up the decks of cards afterward, I decided to get rid of these useless advertising cards:



I know it doesn't seem like much, but I'm feeling better all the time when I clean out clutter by getting rid of things or by making things more useful, enjoyable, or beautiful. Slow progress is still progress.
