Are you Martha Stewart Clean?

So are you Martha Stewart Clean? Well if you're not, now you can be. LOL With her new line of Martha Stewart cleaning products at The Home Depot. I picked up the Dish-Hand Soap and one of the all-purpose cleaners she has and will report back to you how I like them. I'm sure you can already guess if I'll like them or not. The line seems really good and covers everything from floors, to clothes to dishes. Pretty cool! Have fun cleaning!

Project Wednesday: Organize the Linen Closets

Well I marked one thing off my project to do list, this past weekend. Organizing the linen closet/cabinets. They are much more orderly now, even labeled so no one will forget where things belong. I think once things have been well organized it's easy to keep them organized... just getting them to that point is hard.

Here's the other bathroom's closet, I think after reviewing these pictures I realize that I need more towels. LOL

Hope you were able to tackle a project this past weekend that we have been meaning to get to for awhile.

Project Wednesday: To Do List

Here's some projects I'm hoping to get to in the near future:
Cover storage ottomans
Take Valentine's Day Photos
Make Valentine's Day Goodies (cookies, chocolates, etc.) and Decorations
Print and frame more photos for home and office



Here's some organizing projects I'm hoping to get to soon as well:

Organize Linen Closet
Organize Storage Room (almost there)
Organize and upload all CDs to an iPod! (that will take a while)

I'm sure there's more for both lists but best to start out small.

New Year Organization

Over the holidays Fer and I were fortunate enough to have a two week staycation, we were off from work and for various reasons decided to stay home and just 'BE'. I was able to get A LOT of things done around the apartment as you have already seen from some of my posts and here is another major accomplishment that I completed while on my staycation.

ORGANIZING THE CLOSET!

Of course I have been trying to get to this for several months now and this was finally the time. I got rid of so much stuff by either donating it as you can see from this picture or throwing it out, it feels so good to de-clutter and only have the necessary on hand that I can actually feel the flow of the apartment is better and I feel like I lost 10 pounds (at least) in the process of this recent de-cluttering.

Here is the final result. All things hanging neatly, laundry hampers ready to go, purses hung on either the door with this cool purse hanger thingy I got from the container store a while back or on the wall with command hooks - I love those hooks!

We started renting a storage unit here at the apartments, mostly for the bikes but that afforded us some extra space so I could take all the Christmas decorations I had in my closet and move them to the storage room, which gave me more breathing room in my closet.

Here's a better picture of the door purse hanger and also you can see that I have a lot of the storage boxes on the left hand side of the closet. I was using those for all my crafts which I downsized considerably and also got different storage boxes for so now I'm using the craft storage boxes for my shoes. I may paint or cover the boxes to be more uniform looking but for now that works. I also opened up a standing bookshelf that I had shoved in the closet and am now using it for more "vertical" storage of things.

It's such a pleasure for me to get things organized and now it's a pleasure to go into my closet and get something. Yeah!!! Let's hope it stays this way for awhile.
