Out of Chaos

We are tired.  That pretty much sums up our July so far.

It's like something has been off ever since we came back from California and we just can't seem to get our energy back.  It doesn't help though that our sweet Leo has decided to stop sleeping through the night.

It has led to some changes around the house.  For the past year, every time I opened our pantry, I hated it.  It was chaos in there.  It was one of those places that you look at and want to change every time you look at it.

So, I tried an experiment.  I figured, if I can never find what I'm looking for in the pantry, why not move the food to the cabinets and the dishes to the pantry.  We have shallow cabinets that the dishes never really fit well in.  Let me just say what a disaster that was.  No one should have to walk across the room to put tupperware away. 


So, I talked Heb into letting me take a trip to the Container Store (heaven).  Now our pantry looks like this and it is so beautiful.  I can actually find what I'm looking for!!  I find myself smiling every time I look into that corner.

WOW - you could be a professional organizer! I just might have to have you come and visit me after I move and help me organize my kitchen! :)
