I have been working on organizing as much as I can when I am off of work. So my latest project was my kitchen cabinets.

My Cabinets were a mess,but when you just put stuff away so it isn’t in your way, it just happens that way. Mugs are always an issues, so I looked at a whole bunch of different options from mug trees to hanging from underneath the cabinet.

Sorry about the fuzzyness of the pictures, but our camera’s battery was dead. Just random appliances that just make it into our cabinets are sometimes awkward for storage.

Tupperware is always a hassle, so I was lucky to find a single solution for all of these issues at Ikea. Not my favorite look,but the shelves that I ended up using were made of metal where other store’s were plastic, and I just don’t want to mess with them breaking.

Sweet tea supplies,but be organized! ;p

After the shelves, everything cleaned up very well. I still had to stack some of my mugs,but that is because I have too many and am not willing to part with very many.

And again everything so much easier to find. Sigh, I am content.

I finally got under our sink orderly, and I got the “wow” from Grant meaning, finally you are done, and I don’t have to be bothered with it anymore.

I decided to do this to my laundry stuff, and Grant told me he wanted it differently, so we will see how our compromising works out.

The Shelves are now completed! They look GREAT!

The lower shelf are my fantasy books, and then some of the good literature that we own.

So, you can see how it goes around the corners.

Here is the view you would get if you sat on our couch and looked up or toward our kitchen. I am so happy with how they turned out, and I guess I will just have to get some more books to fill them up the rest of the way!

Here are some pictures that Grant showed me after I got home, So, I don’t know why or how they did some of the what they did. So, bear with me!

Grant and Simon were such troopers! I hope that Simon didn’t feel like he was only here to help us get stuff done in our place! He was an amazing help though! Here you can see their stack of my table and chairs so the lazer level could sit on there for the lower of the two shelves.

Here you see the bottom shelf completed when I got home from work on day one. Don’t ask me why they did the bottom shelf first, but it all worked out in the end!

On day two, the bins were added so that the level was the right height for the higher shelves.

Here you can Simon  on his ladder… I’m not sure what he is doing,but yeah, you can see how the shelves are held up.

Here you can see the ladder criss cross that they used on the corners… Yeah,  doesn’t look like the safest,but as long as my shelves go up and no trips to the emergency room I don’t care how it is done.  Part 3 coming soon!!!

So We are about to embark on a non-straight-wall-shelf-hanging adventure

So I took my beautiful wife out to one of her favorite places.. The plates of food were only a $1 each and the drink was $1.29… How awesome is that!?!?!!11
