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.

My Progress

I didn't get a chance yesterday to update you on my progress.  So I'm doing it now.  Yesterday, was the weekly paperwork day.  I hadn't cleaned out this area of my desk in quite some time and I don't know about you but for me this is a dumping ground.  Anything I don't want to deal with right away or I just want off the rest of my desk gets stuck in the top tray of my organizer.  And as you can see from the pictures below a lot of other stuff gets stuck in other areas as well. Here is what it looks like now. So much nicer.  I just hope I can keep it that way.  By eliminating several items in the vertical files area I found a location for the books I'm reading at the moment and so I was able to get rid of pile on my desk.  Yippee!  More space to scrap! Ok, now on to today's project.  This weeks area to organize was the linen closet.  I forgot to take a before picture but here is my after. The floor looks pretty ...
