My house is small, and has very little storage and nothing outside for outside things. So that means...we have things that float around the house with no permanent home. It adds to the clutter and messy look.
Which drives. Me. Nutts.
So, today...after reading a few blogs on organizing and de-cluttering, I was inspired to clean! To toss. To minimize! So here's today's tally from the cleaning results:
4 large bags of trash
No picture of this, I tossed them as we filled them!
2 bags to go to Goodwill
Main closet has room for guests coats, shoes and purses
No picture of this either!
Hall closet is now organized and child friendly (medications on upper shelves)
Bathroom organized
Kitchen organized (90%, still have 10% left)
I was thinking that I'm pretty darn smart, to use this tension rod to hold our paper towels, but I'm sure somewhere in the blogosphere, someone has thought of it!
I also need to get some fabric and make a curtain for the bookcase-turned-pantry.
After all of that work, we rested. And then I felt inspired to make something in my newly organized kitchen!
I have NO idea what to call these...it's Pillsbury Crescent rolls, with Andie's Mints in the middle, rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked. It's good stuff!!!!
So, that was our day! It's good to purge, clean and put things in their place.
What do you need to do in your house? How do you get inventive with ways to clean, organize and such??
In His Hands,

My hall closet scares me. It has a lot of inefficient space in it, and too many things stored there. I also need to systematically go through all my drawers and be honest about what I really wear, and get the other stuff out. Don't even get me started on the basement.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I completely understand! I have a lot of black holes. I clean one up and two more appear, and it's never ending! That's what happens when you mix small house + too much stuff + no extra storage = pure, unbridled chaos!
ReplyDeleteI really do want a trash truck to come and take it all!
