    Spring Cleaning Outfit

    I love March! It means it's time for Spring Cleaning. I've spent the last couple days knocking tasks off of the old "To Do" list. This weekend Lee's going to get around to his Spring "Honey Do" list and we should have a great spring cleaning post ready for you next week, but I thought today I'd share my GO TO spring cleaning outfit:
    You can see the sources for these items HERE.

    A pair of loose jeans, a striped tee and a pair of runners are my favorite spring cleaning tools. I wear a clean pair of runners around the house when I do a lot of chores, it's way easier on your feet then running around in sock feet with no support (I also have a pair of rubber soled slippers for the task too). A headband is a MUST HAVE, and a pair of good fitting rubber gloves are priceless!

    Does anyone have a spring cleaning outfit must have??

    What's better than 1??? . . . 3

    What's better than 1 towel bar . . . 3 towel bars.
    I Love Towels, Clean, Dry Towels. I think that Clean, Dry Towels are one of life's little luxuries.
    We have limited wall space in our bathroom. There was only one wall space that would fit a towel bar, and it was also the only spot we could put a full length mirror. The full length mirror won out and we needed to find a different spot to hang our towels.
    Behind the door was the perfect solution. The perfect spot to grab a towel coming out of the shower.


    The Chrome Towel Bars are from Homesense. I've always found that Homesense has great hardware for a great price. The Last 3 bathrooms we've renovated have all had Towel Bars and Toilet paper holders from Homesense.

    Speaking of Toilet Paper dispensers . . . if you have kids or a husband and especially if you have both, your toilet paper dispenser should look like this.

    This is the only way to get people to change the empty roll of toilet paper!!!


    And yes, of coarse I always fold the toilet paper into a little point . . . that definitely wasn't just for this picture, this is always how the toilet paper in my  house looks ;).

    One last glimpse at why 3 is better than 1.

    Kitchen Organization: Pantry Cabinet

    It feels so good to be moving through my Kitchen Organization To Do list:
    • Organize Take Out menus
    • Organize Loose Recipes, in a box, and on a cork board.
    • Organize Upper Pantry
    • Organize Lower Pantry
    • Organize Knife drawer
    • Organize Spice cabinet
    • Organize Tupperware Cabinet
    • Organize Cookbooks
    • Organize Everyday Dishes
    • Organize Fridge
    • Organize Pots and Pans
    • Organize Under the Sink
    • Chalkboard Paper and Chalkboard on kitchen wall  
    • Organize Pet Drawer
    • Turn two drawers into dining room storage
    • Organize Liquor Cabinet
    This weekend I checked off Organize Lower Pantry Cabinet.
    Lee installed some pullout wire baskets for me. I found them at Lowes for less than $15 each. The reason I had to have them was because they go all the way to the back of the cabinet, and have full extension so they can pull all the way out of the cabinet!


    Before Lee put them in we were only using half of cabinet depth, now we can use all of it, definitely worth $30.

    We also installed a little plastic, tiered Rubbermaid shelf. I don't think it's possible to have too many canned goods on hand so we needed another way to store them. The shelf does just that!


    Only a few more projects and the kitchen will be officially organized!
