New Year, New Space – Day 1
I haven’t posted in awhile, as I’ve been obsessing over losing weight, making the most of the holidays, whipping up some last-minute orders and herding kids all-the-while. Day one of the year inspired me to get organized. I was amazed to find that although I wanted to do one room of the house at a time, that my eyes were bigger than my hands in this chore. Rather than resigning to failure I tackled one thing -the kitchen cabinets (upper and lower), including the pantry.
There was so much wasted space, aside from a few things that needed ousting. The result is open, flowing space with lack of useless items that migrated into the kitchen at some point in the past year. For today…the drawers.
