This past weekend, the hubster and I worked outside. He cut down pesky bushes that had started growing in places they shouldn't be. We cleared sticks, lots of leaves, and trimmed down our front bushes. It felt SO good to work outside in the sun.
We also worked a bit of magic inside too. The space under our kitchen sink has been a frustration for me. While I'm glad to have the storage space, it isn't enough to corral all of the stuff that needs to go there--our compost bucket, laundry stuff, extra dish soap, and various other cleaning things. This house just has such little storage space, that I have to be extra creative with what we have! And let me tell you, the storage under the sink was certainly lacking in creativity.
Anyways, I asked Jonathan to whip me together a simple shelf that would help expand our space. I wanted something that could hold my extra bottles of vinegar (that I use for cleaning) and bleach (that we use to clean our basement periodically).
Jonathan made me a simple shelf out of some scrap wood and then put a screw through the top into the wall on the side to anchor it.
After he did that, I got to work cleaning the shelf. It was covered in coffee grounds that had missed the compost bucket. I also had a few spiderwebs that had taken up residence by the radiator.
Once everything was clean and smelled good again, I put all of our stuff back in. Extra products went to the right and all of the things I use on a regular basis went to the left. The compost now has it's own space and everything is much more accessible.
Now, I need to redo the curtains that hang in front. They are waaaayyy too small for the openings and are definitely not child friendly. I have been thinking about asking Jonathan to make me some simple doors that we can use a child safety lock on. We shall see.
What quick projects did you do this weekend? I love when a task is simple and easy, but makes a huge difference.
I love your egg garland :)
