Christmas decorating

I’m living in a condo again and I’ve been seeing people unloading Christmas decorations from their cars. I’m guessing they are keeping their decorations in the steel buildings which is a storage facility down the street. These condos don’t come with a whole lot of storage space.

My bedroom closet is full, which is the largest closet in the place. I’m surprised at the kitchen though.. there is more cabinets and storage than I thought it would have.. which makes me happy. There are 3 nice deep drawers and one we are using as a spice drawer. We are able to store the spices upright in the drawer because it’s so deep. We use another one of the drawers to put our boxes of trash bags and storage bags in. The other is used for our silverware, etc.

What I look for in a kitchen

black-countertop-kitchen-homeIf we ever get a house of our own again; this is what I want to have in a new kitchen:

1. Black granite counter tops
2. Stainless steel appliances
3. A backsplash covered in metal tiles
4. An easy to maintain floor (and not cheesy looking)
5. Oak or Maple cabinets with glass fronts on some of the doors
6. Under cabinet lighting
7. A gas stove with a waist-high broiler
8. A pantry
9. A separate closet for mops, brooms and cleaners
10. A built in cutting board
11. Lots of drawer space
12. A center island with room for seating

I watch way too many home improvement shows and want just about everything they do on those shows. The picture above is almost exactly what I want except I want the seating at a center island.

Buried in paper

I was sort of buried in papers this weekend. I went through some boxes that I had papers stored in. I figured I should get them organized. I have old bills, old term life insurance quotes, old receipts, etc that needed to be shredded. I organized the medical receipts, prescription receipts and things that needed to be kept. I filed them into other boxes and put labels on them.

Then I arranged the boxes on my closet shelves so they were in date and content order. My closets shelves have never been so nice and organized before.

Now I just have to shred all of those sensitive papers and I’ll be done. It’s so nice to have a very organized closet.

Cleaning day

Today has been cleaning day. Hubby finally got our headboard and dresser out of storage and I’ve been putting our clothes into the dresser. 1st I cleaned the dresser off really well (I was covered in dust) and cleaned out the drawers.

All of the clothes had been stored in the closet on the shelves. Now I can use the shelves for other things such as extra cables, HDMI switches, important papers, fire boxes and whatnot. These are extra shelves not the ones that go on top of the hanging rods. These shelves are a unit type thing that one of the hanging rods hooks onto. there are 5 shelves with room below for plenty of shoes.

I need to organize

The closet in my spare bedroom is quickly becoming a disaster area. In fact the entire bedroom is on it’s way in that direction. I have boxes in the closet that have been there since I moved in and haven’t been unpacked.

I couldn’t begin to tell you what’s there. There could be any number of things in those boxes… such as old weight loss pills, pencils, papers, cards and maybe even some trash and who knows what else.

See the picture up there? Those boxes on the right are the ones I’m talking about. The picture is only the right half of the closet. There is more junk on the left and on the shelf above. This closet runs almost the entire length of one wall.

I have got to get my rear in gear and clean out this dumping ground of a spare bedroom!
