I spent the weekend in the garage and organizing the shelves above the washer/dryer. We have to spend one more day out in the garage but then it should be done!

Laundry shelves before:

Now there's room for the toilet paper AND the paper towels in the house!

The playroom closet.

It had become the dumping ground for things that didn't have a home or needed to be in the garage. Since we had our garage sale yesterday (and made $60, not bad) I was finally able to move some of this out there!

Before

I'm not crazy about the shelves but it's not worth dealing with yet!

After

There's extra space now even after bringing in my children's book collection from the garage!

reading area

I added a basket next to the rocking chair for the books I read to Eli at nap time. I try to change them out with the seasons so we're not overwhelmed by choices. I just put in the Spring/Easter books so he'll be excited to look through them tomorrow!

Book Basket

The best part is that I had this empty Ikea basket out in the garage so this idea was free!

I had a little extra time this past Thursday so I went ahead and did the kitchen drawers, too.

These are the drawers I never did anything other than dump stuff in when we moved in

Before

After

Now it's organized chaos! :-)

Medicine/Linen Closet before:

After:

I keep the medicine in here instead of the bathroom because it's easier to keep away from little fingers this way!

Since EG got the Master Retreat closet, I got the Master Bedroom closet!

Before:

Bad, huh?

Some of EG's stuff is out. I forgot to take one at the very beginning

Pippin helping again. Guard Mommy's clothes, Pip!

After:

Much Better!

Done!

I had to change things around since our dresser broke this morning!

That led to me deciding to really use the Master Retreat closet for a while (we are planning on taking it out to turn the Retreat into an office/study) so that we don't have to spend any money.

What I started with today:

Sorting through the dresser drawers

Left side of MR closet

Right side of closet

I discovered that my wedding dress had fallen off its hanger and was a crumpled heap in the bottom of the garment bag. Whoops! It didn't look any worse for it, though.

Pippin helped, too. Here she is with the roll of shelf liner.
