What a Nasty Job – What a Lovely Reward

One of the special tasks on the calendar today was to spend an hour cleaning and organizing the kitchen. To the outside observer my kitchen is clean and organized. And its true, I keep my counters cleaned off and wiped down. The cabinets I use to store my pots, pans and dishes are clean and for the most part well organized. My kitchen sink is usually free of dirty dishes. And I clean as I cook, so when dinner is ready, most of the dirty dishes I used to cook with are in dishwasher or the sink ready to be cleaned. However, there are those locations in my kitchen where I do the stash and dash. Most are clean enough but there is absolutely no organization whatsoever. But then, there’s the cabinet under my kitchen sink. I hate to admit it but it’s just icky.

Here it is:

Dun, dun, dun. It’s sad, I know. And, from the picture you can’t even see all of the gunk that’s leaked from all those mostly empty (now anyway) bottles. So, besides cleaning out my fridge and giving my appliances a scrub I tackled the nastiness under my kitchen sink. And so, without further ado I give you my clean and organized cabinet.

Ta Da!

I ditched several empty bottles, dried out wipes and used scrubbers, combined half bottles of the same product, and found plastic containers with lids to store items that are usually sold in a box or bag that gets all smushed and icky under the sink. My fridge was ready to be restocked with the water & soda stored under there so that left a lot of empty space. I also pulled out one of those handy dandy 3M Command hooks and hung the doo-hicky my plastic shopping bags are stored in on the cabinet door.

Isn’t it nice to finally get in and take care of those icky places in our homes? It’s such a lovely reward to look at them afterward. I think I’ll go take another look. LOL

Have a great day,
B.

Laundry/Mud Room Before & After

I'm so excited my laundry room is clean and organized!  Yippee!  This room had been begging for some TLC and today it got.  So, ya wanna see?  Here you go. This is the mud room area before. Yes, those are swim noodles.  Yes, it is January and the temp today was a whopping 15 degrees. And here is the after.  Ahhh....so neat. Here is the laundry area. A couple of months ago I did manage to do a little decluttering here and it has stayed that way pretty well. Here's the after. This is the before of the cabinet above my washer. And the after. The cabinet above the dryer before. And after.  I haven't been keeping my cleaning supplies in this room but I think have enough space for those in here now. So, that's it. TaaDaa!  For those who may want to know.  I picked up the baskets from Wal-mart a few years ago.  They may still carry them, I'm not sure.  I made my own lables out of cardstock and ti...
