Day 2: Project Home Organization

There is absolutely no rhythm or reason to when I decide to organize an area of my home that is driving me crazy. I usually just jump in and go at it!  I have planned to take my life back from the clutter and disorganization of  all the nooks and crannys, drawers and cabinets, home office stuff and kid’s crafts and school papers.  I just have to do it!  I am so unorganized and it’s driving me crazy. We’ve been living  in our new home for almost a year.  Time to get with it!

My first project was to organize my 3 year old’s crafty stuff.   I’m happy to report that it is STILL organized and my system is working brilliantly.  My new desk and computers (2) YES, two computers have arrived and are being organized in stages.  I’ll be sure to update you on those as soon as they are presentable.

Today I took on my laundry closet.  Yes, I have a laundry closet in the kitchen.  That was one thing I gave up when I moved here, a laundry room.  Well, all of my laundry rooms have consisted of a room in the cold, damp basement, but hey…it was a room!  OH well!  It is really nice and I did get the AWESOME HE Machines (which I am telling you is the best investment EVER!  Run out and buy some today!)  to fill my closet with.

I also filled my closet with tons of stuff!  Dirty clothes that were brought in from outside when kids were playing, file boxes with important papers (hence the need for a new home office set-up), bathing suits, blankets, towels, dog toys and grooming tools, and all the stuff needed to do laundry, of course!

I didn’t know I was going to tackle this little project as I was starting laundry today, so  I didn’t get a before shot.  Sorry!

Here is the new and improved, organized laundry area!

Wooo…I feel much better!
