Since I work full-time outside the house, I decided to make my use of only working (at work) until noon on Fridays to restore some order around the house. I started at 12:45 and here it is...2:15 and I'm done with all 5 projects! Amazing what can be accomplished when the little guys aren't around!
My projects:
- the pantry
- my glasses
- dresser
- chest of drawers
- night stand
Nothing annoys hubby more than my constant clutter! So I can't wait to see his face when he walks into our bedroom this evening!
I decided to tackle the pantry first, here is the before:
I am trying to be more frugal when purchasing groceries. As you can tell, it is really hard to see what I have in the pantry.
This task was surprisingly quick and easy...and I realized I needed to add sugar to my shopping list!
Next up, the glasses drawer, the source of many manic mornings. As an Optician, I have access to glasses at GREAT prices...so I have multiple pairs. This is the disaster I dig through to find which glasses I want to wear.
This is just the cases. Sadly, only 3 of the cases even had glasses in them...I found the rest while tackling the next three projects.
One of my favorite frame reps brought me a travel tray, this makes it much easier to find the glasses I want when I want them! I had forgotten that I had some of these. And this isn't all, one pair is on my face and another is off having new lenses mounted!
The dresser before:
And after, I redecorated a little also.
The chest of drawers before:
And after, I even found a place for the Christmas gift from my mother-in-law.
And the dreaded night stand:
It looks SO MUCH better, but I think I need to pare down my reading selection!
Thank you to Tilly for the comment about the books. I like the idea of a basket, this should also help to keep my collection under control by limiting the number of books that fit in the basket.
Thank you to Monica and Rebecca for the inspiration to RESTORE SOME ORDER!
