Project: Organization
September 19, 2009 in Arts and Crafts, Home Improvement | Tags: Crafts, Decorating, Organization | 3 comments
Now, I am not a naturally organized person. I usually know where my stuff is, but that doesn’t mean it has a place. On Saturday we began with the usual, “What do you want to do today?” When I suggested Matt make me some compartments to help me organize my make-up drawer, he consented if I agreed to help him organize the dreaded pantry. I agreed on the condition that he let me buy some organizing bins and let me paint. He gave in! Yay!
This project took the whole weekend, but overall I am quite pleased with the results. I picked out a nice gray paint color for the walls and some black baskets for the shelves.
We ended up painting our shelves, too, because they looked so crummy. Matt was a bit apprehensive about me buying these baskets (as he sometimes is about my grand ideas), but I think he would tell you now that my ideas turn out pretty good! 🙂
This project was not too expensive: just the cost of paint and less than $100 for all the bins. We got several of them for CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP! I love it how Bed, Bath, and Beyond sends us coupons all the time. They let you use them even when they are expired. Score!
