Hey everyone!!!
You may have noticed I haven't really been around for some time :wink:
In stead of sitting behind the pc I decided to actively do something for a change....
1) You know, when your cupboards look like a bomb exploded, you have to do something.
We had 2 old fridges, those consumed an amazing amount of energy and way to much space. Bought a second hand american fridge with one door, for only 180 euro. Placed a storage rack in the pantry. Everything in place & easy to clean now
2) Have to mention, my man is a horterer. He keeps clinging on to junk. And yes, it's a hell of a job to throw away whatever memorabelia a man wants to cherish & love for eternity :shock: The worse is he wants to keep everything but gets a fit if he sees clutter :? Why don't man make sense. :roll:
Started in the smallest room, cause there was the most crap in there. My closet is in there & also laundry room. Clothes were lying all over the place, even hanging from te ceilig lamp; there was simply not a square inch of empty space.
Put all the junk/things you don't need on a daily base outside in te hallway.
With pain in my hart bought a small plastic cabinet for my soap stuff, put it in there & used the old cabinet for my t shirts & sweaters.
Put all the coats not suitable for the time of the year in my hanging closet, that had space after removing the t's & sweaters.
Bought some plastic crates to store everything neatly.
Took the shoe rack hanging from my door & mounted it onto the hallway wall.
3) Started cleaning out the basement. Ouch. That cost me 2 years of my life. In secret 8) , threw away everything old, ugly & useless. Took 3 ful shoppingcarts of mess out of there.
No, honey, you don't need a broken typewriter. No it can't be fixed, typewriter fixers do no longer exist. We have computers now
After the reorginisation there was more than enough space to neatly store all the stuff we wanted to keep from the little room.
4) Some cute white baskets in the bathroom & reorganizing again made a lot of change.
Now you might think why...
Never thought it was possible, but my little clothes packed, stinky shoes & cat hair room became an actual clean & beautiful soap room!!!
The last thing I'm gonna do is paint it (any color suggestions, should be nice with the bordeaux red in my home), put a vinyl floor in there & a friend of us is going to make me a dust free curing rack.
When I'm ready I'll post a pic
So now there's no more excuse, I have to start making soaps I'll be placing some orders in Amerika soon & hope to be selling in December.
Wish me luck & thanks for reading this!
