I heart Organizing


Anyone who know me very well knows my obsession with organizing. Now, let me clear something up. There is a HUGE difference between organizing and cleaning (Uggh). I heart organizing BIG time. I HATE to clean. Just want to clear that up. You may come to my house and see cheerios on the floor, but take a look at my "junk drawer". You will be amazed!

Now on to the good stuff. Just wanted to share some organizing photos I am drooling over.

This first picture is from Honey&Fitz. Can we say, "WOW"? You have to click on the link to see more wonderful pictures. There are even some 'before' pictures too! It is absolutely stunning. I don't have a real pantry, I have a coat closet turned pantry. I am always looking for ideas to make it better!

Now, this command center is a dream. Unfortunately I do not have a wall big enough for such beauty, but I am thinking of making a smaller version. There are a dozen different ways you could do this to suit you.

Here is an example of using something for a totally different purpose than what it was intended for. I explained earlier that my pantry is pretty small. Well, I have a small kitchen to go with that small pantry. So I picked up one of these shoe organizers and hung it on the back of my pantry door. It holds foil, plastic wrap, Ziploc bags, straws, bulk spices, cleaning wipes, etc. It really cleans up all the random clutter in the kitchen! I bought mine for about 6 bucks at Wally World. ;)

Umm, hello gorgeous! This is a great idea if you are short on space, but also don't want anyone to know where your jewelry is! I think this is FABULOUS!
