Sorry it's been so long! We've been busy - in a good way!
With my work schedule, it's rare to get two consecutive days free from my job. When that happens, we feel very blessed and usually try to squeeze in a lot of productivity - and a bit of relaxation! :)
Last Sunday, we made the afternoon all about fixing up our cozy little home. I've been itching to rearrange our bedroom and put the bed on lifts for a while now. Isn't it funny how you just can't stop re-organizing once you start?
This is what we finished last week:
Re-arranged our bedroom
Put bed on lifts
Moved nightstand to living room (really, it's a small round table that's perfect for my little reading chair!)
Moved shelving unit stacked on dresser to closet for shoe storage
Adding toilet paper storage to bathroom
Organized cabinet under kitchen sink
Hung aluminum foil and saran wrap in cabinet
Built storage box for ziploc bags in cabinet
Organized cabinets and coffee storage above kitchen sink
Temporarily relocated filing cabinet - future project in store!
We also ordered bar stools on Amazon (thanks to our Christmas Amazon gift cards, you guys ROCK!) They just got delivered today, and I'm technically still at work (eating my dinner) so I haven't seen them yet. I can't wait!!! We have a built-in bar on our countertop, and haven't been able to properly use it yet!
Moving the filing cabinet (and eventually tossing it!) freed up a little nook in our apartment - about 30 inches deep and 40 inches long, facing the living room. Stephen has wanted a dedicated desk space to set up his computer, and we're almost ready to build our own desk into the wall!
Speaking of upcoming projects, here's a few on our to-do list:
Polish wood floor (this is that one that I keep telling myself I'll do....eventually....)
Build a standing workstation in our crazy nook
Adding spare towel storage to bathroom
Organizing under bathroom sink
Re-organizing kitchen storage - there has *got* to be a smarter way to store lids!!!
Adding shelves above self-built workstation
Adding mail/bills storage to walls near workstation
Eliminating file cabinet by transferring to boxes in closet.\
Re-organizing pantry
Creating spice storage with magnetic jars on the fridge
Creating a magnetic strip for utensil storage in the kitchen
Whew! We have got a big to-do list but I'm really excited to knock out these projects ASAP!
What home improvement or organizational projects are you working on? Any tips or hints to share?
Best Wishes,
Amanda
