We’ve been getting a lot done around here this week. This is the week that I try to finish all of my unfinished projects and get the “school” ready.
My long, narrow, all-purpose closet in the back of the house was my biggest project that I had put off all summer. I call this closet the back-bone of our house. It’s where I put a lot of stuff that I don’t have room for anywhere else. We don’t have a garage, or a basement (well, we have a “cellar”, but it gets wet and it’s icky, so I pretend it doesn’t exist).
I decided to take a shelf down, and in its place, I bought these big, plastic, Rubbermaid closet kind of storage things. I ended up buying three and they take up an entire wall. I think that I’ m very happy with this decision. One is for dog/pet stuff and gardening tools; another one is for winter coats, hats, mittens, and boots); and the one we just got today is for dishes and kitchen stuff I use only occasionally.
I threw out a lot of stuff, but there are still things I’m undecided about. I’m hoping that this project will be all done by tomorrow. I am also working on the room that we used to eat in when we were remodeling our kitchen/dining room. I had thought that we might still eat in there so I had left the plastic table set up. That table had become a put-everything-you-don’t-know-what-to-do-with table. This room is directly across from my guest bathroom, and it was looking positively awful! Today, I took everything off the table (and gave most of the stuff a new home); folded up the table and sent it to storage. I am going to try to find some cheap book shelves for this room to store books that I just moved out of the back closet.
It's been a good week so far - accomplishing projects I've put off; making appointments for the coming weeks; working on a menu plan for the month of September (still in the making); and harvesting a lot of berries and vegetables. Now, if I can just find a little time to work on some new pictures I have (for blogging, at course!) I'll be a very happy girl  . |
