After much preparation (including the purchase of several items), I think I may finally be starting to get something done.
Below are a few pictures to give you all an idea of what’s been accomplished so far. I neglected to take “before” pictures of my kitchen cabinets, so you’re going to just have to make do with the “after” ones. And the only reason there’s a before and after for the chairs is that we’ve only done one. I’m trying to take a few before pictures of stuff I’ve not yet tackled, but it’s going to be a little skewed because I don’t really want to show the worst befores.
At any rate, stuff’s getting done and here’s the proof:
Looking at these pictures again, it strikes me that they actually could still be before pictures, despite the fact that they’ve already consumed hours of my time. I’ll try not to think about that.
We’re still at an impasse with the utility room, which is also the entryway we use most often and where one of the cats’ litter boxes is. I’m getting rid of some stuff, but with the way the room is set up, I’m not sure how much more organizing I can do with it. And pretty soon, there will be winter coats, boots, hats, and mittens strewn all about. Maybe I should post before pictures of that and ask for suggestions. And I’m afraid to tackle the office/pantry (yes, our office is also currently a pantry). Maybe I’ll work on my closet next. I know just what I want to get rid of there.
