A linen closet is an interesting thing. It’s probably the smallest closet in your entire home. This means it is the absolute perfect place to begin an organization project.

My home has one teeny little linen closet in my master bathroom. Our second (and only other) bathroom only has under-the-cabinet storage space. So, our master bath linen closet pulls a lot of weight around here.
