The Perfect Linen Closet

In my dream house I would have a perfectly organized linen closet just like this, full of Peacock Alley sheets. The ribbon, the dividers, the blue/black paint - I love everything.


[ from Domino Magazine via brides.com ]

But for now I am grateful for my little linen closet with wire shelves and sheets from Home Goods :) At least learning how to properly fold a fitted sheet is free, thanks to Domino and Brides.com.

Speaking of sheets, I love love LOVE my new Duvet cover from Overstock that I mentioned earlier. I highly recommend it to everyone out there. Also, the color is very true to the picture. (I ordered the Willow aka Sage).

    This fitted sheet thing is a bunch of hooey because in the instructional pictures, the thing always lays flat, which it does not do in real life. Would that it were so!

    OK, I feel like I am leaving this comment everywhere right now, but: Peacock Alley? They have a lot at Tuesday Morning at the moment. I just bought a set of king sheets for 79.99 (down from 500). They also have Sferra but they're a little more expensive (still nothing near full price, though)! Hope you can similarly score.

    Ah yes....this is on my wish list as well. At the moment we don't even have a linen closet and all of my sheets and towels are stuffed into drawers. I would love to have all my things organized and visible like in the image. So nice!
    Have a great weekend!

    Yes, and the little line of pretty soaps! My kids would have this closet looking not so pretty in two seconds flat! Janell

    I am so with The Bee Charmer. I fold my fitted sheets like that, and they totally DO NOT lay flat. Good riddance! ;-) But if you head to Tuesday Morning like Rebecca suggests and find some Peacock Alley or Sferra sheets, call me, please!!

    I ordered that duvet like a crazy person after you posted about it! ...like I HAD to have it! ha ha

    I love it too! I got the chocolate/gold and it is actually more of a green tone as the reviews stated, but it is still perfect. Thanks for the rec!! :)

    Good Lord, I wanna know who has time to make their linen closet look like that. I have little to NO spare time. Oh, and I don't even have a linen closet.

    But oh, the dream looks far better than reality, doesn't it? Sigh.

    Oh to have a closet like that...I love organization stuff mostly because I can never seem to get there myself!! I'm totally with the Bee Charmer about the fitted sheets! I guess you have to iron them to get them to lay flat like that. Who wants to iron sheets??

    Such a perfect linen closet. I love how some sets are tied with a ribbon on the top shelf to keep all pieces together.

    I have one tip about bedsheet storage: fold all the pieces and stick it inside one of the pillowcases. Easy to tote and store!
