Getting organized

Does anyone else feel like their home is filled with clutter? It seems like my counters and kitchen table only stay clear for a day at the most. So I've added a shelf and baskets to my laundry room and a shower rod to dry clothes from. Now we'll each have a place to put stuff. Nolan's basket has his shoes (so they're ready to grab as we go out), bubbles, and crayons. Mine is filled with Young Women's stuff, and Justin's will have his wallet, work badge, and sunglasses. I have a feeling we'll find more to put there soon! And lastly, I have one basket for dirty rags, bibs, and washclothes. I hate putting these things in with my regular laundry so it's a good place to stash it. Thanks to Justin for hanging the shelf for me! And yes, Nolan had to be there every step of the way.

Before: see how cluttered?

That looks great Kenz. I feel like I need to organize a lot more too. I wish my laundry room was as big as yours!! I'm jealous. Thanks for bringing those books by today. Sorry I was on the phone and in my pj's still, otherwise I would've been more social.

I love it! I think we'll copy you and do something the same. I would love to get all the clutter off my countertop and into baskets!

That will be so nice for you. I hope it helps! I wish I had a laundry room like yours!

What a great idea!! I really need to make a better effort at organizing. Nolan looks like he enjoyed the project as well.

Um, this doesn't work with a top loading washing machine very well. Whoops...

What a great idea! Feeling organized makes all the difference. Our clutter always ends up on the dining room table, so that we can rarely eat there. You've inspired me to figure something else out. It's nice to see that Nolan is already helping with the straightening. Start training him to do the laundry now!
