Under The Sink Shall Be Organized

I've been watching videos lately on organizing...I love those people!

In fact, I am striving to be like those people. So many great ideas. Everything always looks so clean and awesome. Way less time is spent 'looking' for something. There are so many positives to organizing that I can't even begin to explain. As you can tell...it gets me a little giddy.

I'm starting small. Under the sink...that seems pretty simple. It seriously took me five minutes! It looks great. I can see everything that I need. I decided on one of those caddys for cleaning supplies long ago, but then never used it, just piled junk in.

Well...today I used it. It was GREAT. I just grabbed my little caddy and off I went to clean the kids' bathroom. I had all of my supplies, no running back and forth and I swear it didn't take as long to clean the bathroom as usual...about 10 mins total and that includes the floor!

Here was under my sink before. I'm ashamed. Look fast and move on.

Now here it is all organized and clean. In the caddy I decided to put the things that I use most often. Cleaning supplies, a rag, Clorox eraser, paper towels and my handy dandy duster.

To the left I have the dishwasher soap, again easy access. Then the fire extinguisher and flash light...for emergencies that I hope never happen. My advice....throw away everything and anything that doesn't belong, or at least put it where it does belong. In the back corner I've tucked away the things that are not used that often...like the carpet cleaner and refill bottles. If you haven't used it in the past six months....you probably wont use it. THROW IT AWAY.

I personally feel overwhelmed at the thought of going through things and organizing. That is why I decided to start small. The small accomplishments give you the motivation and encouragement to keep going and tackle the not so small things...like the closet or the garage. I can't wait to see how organized my home is in three, four or even five months from now.
