14 week challenge to a clean and organized house

I found a 14 week challenge here and thought that's what I need! My house has gotten where nothing has a spot and it was/is driving me crazy. So I decided to take action. Every week she gives you a challenge like the kitchen or this week is all the closets in your house and while I'm not following her challenges week per week I am trying.  Here is a picture of one of my hall closets before

Here it is after :-)
Here is a closer picture. I separated everything into baskets, Kids, Adults, Mommy's Dogs, and cards. Yes I labeled them! I live with all men you do the math :-)
Now I wish I would have taken a picture of the pool room closet before we started to clean it out but I didn't think about it. I got so excited that we were actually cleaning it out that I totally forgot! But I did take a picture of all the trash for you...Yes it was all in the closet and this pile does not include what went back in or what I gave to Goodwill. Take a deep breath people this is bad...
And yet another picture of the trash
Finally we got it all taken care of
 
I'm not sure why my picture are going the wrong way and I wish I could figure out how to fix them for you but I'm not that computer smart so just tip your computer and you'll be fine :-) I'll keep posting as I get things cleaned and organized. Hope you guys get inspired to do a little Spring cleaning yourself. If you do please post before and after pictures I would love to see them.
