More organization…

I can’t help it, I just love organizing everything.  I just love the feeling of having everything neat, clean and in it’s own spot.  You may think I am nuts, but it is one of my favorite things to do.  I unfortunately did not take any before pictures.  Pretty much the best part is looking at a before and after, but I do not have that(I suck). I started with the laundry room.  This is what it looked like when we moved in…

The shelves had accumulated quite a bit more stuff since then,  so this picture doesn’t really do it justice.  It now looks like this…

I clearly still need to paint in here.  Next I organized under the sink…

I think everything needs a bin, I got these at Target in the dollar section.  I packed the first one with rags that I use for cleaning and dusting.  The second has cleaning products that I do not use as often, the next has garbage bags and magic erasers. The last has cleaning products I use more often, like Lysol wipes, dawn dish soap, pinesol etc. and right in front of that one is febreze duster, Lysol multipurpose cleaner and Windex, things I use on a more daily basis.  In the basket on the left-hand side there there are dishwashing tabs.  Above that is a hanging basket with sink plugs, a scrub brush and unused sponge. Did I mention I’m crazy? Here’s a closer look…

I then worked on the pantry, which is jam-packed.  It was pretty organized to begin with I just moved some things around.

The basket on the top has extra napkins and paper plates.  The urban outfitters bag has grocery bags that we use to pick up dog poop, oh ya! The two bins on the bottom are dog food, one for each dog.  Charlie eats an expensive low ingredient food because he has allergies, Zack can eat anything so we don’t buy him the real expensive stuff.  I then worked on the hall closets.

I began by removing everything and washing it all.  From the move things just seemed kind of dirty to me, so I wanted to start fresh.  I then folded everything and put sheet sets inside one of the alike pillow cases to keep the whole set together.  So when you need a new set you just grab the pillow case and everything is inside, no need to search for a missing sheet.  I put everything in alike piles, sheets with sheets, blankets with blankets, etc.

Then I started putting everything back in.  Big blankets on top with a couple misc pillows.  Next beach towels and a basket, then guest towels the next shelf down.  After that a large down comforter, then sheet sets and small throw blankets.  And on bottom extra bath mats and more sheet sets. On to the next closet which is pretty simple..

On top beach mats and a basket filled with photo albums. Then coats, they don’t get used too much here in FL.

066

On the bottom, just the good old dyson.  As I previously mentioned my parents, sister and brother in-law are coming to visit very soon! Woot woot! So next I worked on the guest bath.  I am trying to make it a little more convenient for guests to use.

Under the sink is, you guessed it dog bathing supplies haha.  The other side…

068

A basket with extra TP, extra klenex box, jar with tampons(there are girls visiting, you never know) and a jar with extra razors.

On the counter top I added a glass with new toothbrushes and toothpaste, you never know who’s going to forget their toothbrush!  Some lotion, handsoap and a jar with Q-tips.

A basket on the back of the toilet with some more TP and air freshener.  This bathroom is so far from done,  I just need to give it a little love so my family has everything they may or may not need.
