Challenge 1 & 4

Challenge 1 is a junk drawer notice I said a instead of the since Im sure I have way more than one junk drawer in my house. Here is the before photo.
everything out of the drawer

Ahhhh afterwards, now to see how long it stays that way.
linen closet before, well I forgot to take the photo & I had started taking stuff off the 3rd shelf it was full of stuff to.




The floor before full of stuff also.



everything out, the towels are stacked inside the bedroom across from the closet so you cant see them






Ahh a little breathing room especially on the floor.





I need to label the baskets , I have one for stuff for a cold, one for basic first aid, one for mainicure/pedicure stuff, other meds, extra soaps & shampoos & a few other ones, little more organized..
Chuck informed me Im driving him crazy trying to do all the challenges in 2 days instead of 12 to catch up.LOL Its not like I asked him to help. :)

challenge #7 & 10 DONE!!!!

coat rack in the laudry room/ always full of preschool stuff , coats, purse etc, you can see this from front door so Id like to keep it cleared off.

dresser that holds table linens & other stuff that I thought would be great to fold laundry on, to bad it always has junk on it.
laundry machine area & sorting baskets (which I love- they are labeled towels, white, lights & darks makes it easy to throw a load in) problem is I have some nice pantry type shelves that I cant get to unless I pull the rolling laundry basket cart out. so I m rearranging furniture in the laundry room to see if that helps.


pantry type shelves that are a mess, 1st one is games, 2nd shelf is electric skillet, big bowls & baskets & top shelf is hodge podge of stuff




below is just extra junk I throw in because I dont want to move everything to get to the shelves.



everything pulled out of the shelf area






empty shelves





white pantry shelf unit that sat beside the long dresser, somewhat organized on the inside but a bunch of junk on top that has been there since summer so obviously I dont need it.









shelves after I organized them, got rid of some games & was able to bring the ones from the kitchen & store them all in one place & easy access to get to them, no more having to move the laundry basket cart.






I moved the pantry cabinet beside the washer & dryer so there is walking room to get to the pantry shelves. I reorganized the inside a bit









moved the laundry baskets to the end of the dresser where the pantry cabinet used to be. Im going to try to hang up my preschool bag & purse on the end of the rack & any stuff that goes to school with me can sit at the far end of the dresser instead of on the coat rack












after pictures









after pictures Im sure I could purge & rearrange some more maybe another time.. For now we will see if the room arrangement works better...Maybe tomorrow after church if Im motivated I will tackle the linen closet, junk drawer & tupperware cabinet, if not I can work on those next week. I feel pretty good about all I got done. Now to watch football with Chuck & relax...
