A Little Organization

On a recent weekend I went on a bit of an organizational tear.  I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make daily life just a little bit easier.  Here's my latest attempts, which I have to say are working pretty well for the most part.

I really should have taken a before picture of this one.  Previously the tupperware lids were piled haphazardly in an overfull shallow drawer, meaning that I'd have to unload half of it to find the lid I needed.  And the bottoms were piled in a cupboard on the other side of the kitchen!  I got a pot lid organizer from Meijer and decided to commandeer the deep drawer that had previously housed the baking supplies that I almost never used.  This has been a great change!!

Taking over my baking supply drawer meant that I had to clean out and reorganize my pantry to make room.  Wow, it had been a long time since I've done that!  Now I can actually see what I have, and 5 year old canned goods are no longer taking up space. :)

After the Christmas extravaganza I needed to organize the kids' playroom so there was space for their new chairs and shelves that keep some of Nathan's games and Legos out of Natalie's reach.  This has been a really nice set-up.

This is my favorite project in this post!  Previously I had a dark and disorganized cupboard for all of the kids' art supplies and play-dough.  An over-the-door pantry organizer makes everything easy to see and takes advantage of unused space on the back of the hall closet door!
