I decided to take it one day and one task at a time. First project... organize the pantry! I chose this task first because our pantry had become a death trap. We couldn't retrieve anything from it without dodging falling objects or just giving up on what we were looking for. L&L also liked to sneak in there when mom or dad left the door open to eat crumbs, dust, etc off the floor. GROSS! Needless to say... it was time for a makeover! I went to Walmart to pick up some organizing materials I saw on Pinterest of course!! Guilty!! I scanned the kitchen isles for a good 25 minutes trying to piece together some type of system of organization... a harder task than I thought. Once I had decided on my plan of action I came home and removed EVERYTHING from the pantry. The dogs (L&L) were watching me in shear terror. I think they were thinking we were moving again...thank goodness that was not the case. I assured them mom was just taking control of the situation that was our pantry. Here is a picture of the finished product... I will not show the before pictures as I don't want to lose readers this early in my blogging career. Pantry...check!
Next up, the closet. Yes, I am one of those people who throws clothes on the floor when I decide not to wear them instead of hanging them back where I found them... don't tell my mom!! After a few days, I have unknowingly created a bed for L&L to sleep on while I am getting ready. Not exactly my intention and I would rather they didn't!! Closet...check! While I was in there I also gave our master bathroom a little spit shine!
Last, the kitchen bench! We have a bench under the windows in our kitchen that serves as seating for the wall side of our table. When we built the house the thought was to have a cozy little nook... only I never "cozied" it up. So, a few yards of fabric, a dusty sewing machine and a semi thought out plan later I was ready to go. Here is the result. Kitchen bench... check!!
