Linen Closet - Organized!

This past weekend, my husband surprised me with just about 10 guests. I wasn't too pleased with that as I like to be told in advance when people will be crashing at my place but there were already in the house and there was nothing I could do. I quickly cleaned the main bathroom which also serves as a guest bathroom. Believe it or not, everything on the countertop got dumped in the linen closet, conveniently located inside the bathroom. That's when the mess there reached an all-time low (I wish I had a picture). So, on the same night, I couldn't help it... I had to organize.

I am a big fan of the Home Depot clear shoe boxes which they sell for less than a dollar! So I took everything out and sorted:

- Make up
- Personal Hygiene
- Dental
- Travel size
- First Aid

I put all the sorted items in clear boxes, rearranged everything on the shelves and voilà! I was done. Some of my own personal items went in the master's bedroom bathroom but the rest can stay in the linen closet. The First Aid Kit is in a small fishing tackle box I bought many years ago at Wal-Mart. I'll do a post some day!

Now there is still room for improvement. I could put all the Bath & Body Works soaps in a box, same with the shampoos... but for now, it's a bit more organized and it's making me happy!

Kalanchoe

 Well, it's been busy around here. I tackled too many projects and ended up in the hospital with a kidney stone and here I am, tackling more projects. I am nesting so much, anticipating the arrival of baby #2, that I am even buying indoor plants at this point. How typical. Today I purchased a Kalanchoe plant. Apparently it is one of the 8 hard-to-kill houseplants for a cursed green thumb. I am not quite certain I am that cursed but you never know!

Tonight I shall put it in a beautiful pot in the living room and call it a day! I have a few projects on the go. Last Saturday night I decided my linen closet needed a makeover (or maybe just a clean-up) so I will post pictures tomorrow. The linen closet is in our main bathroom which also is used by guests when they come to our house. Imagine how happy I was that our Sunday night guests accidently opened that little door! It was actually clean! I have also been working on the baby room. It's nearing completion! Yay. Pictures will come soon :)
