I am getting a husband in a few months, and he arrives with some stuff attached. While sometimes I'm not sure whether he uses ANY toiletries, I do believe that he brings with him:
1 toothbrush
1 toothpaste
1 shampoo/conditioner
1 hair product
1 sunscreen
(I don't think he'll be contributing his bath towels to the mix, don't really think we WANT them actually, but I haven't seen them so I'm reserving judgment).
The toiletries will take up roughly 6 square inches of space, BUT in an effort to be accomodating, I decided to clear some substantial space in the bathroom closet. Also, it was a wreck, and embarassing to look at. Selfishly, I do hope the husband will both put away and fetch things like bath towels & bedsheets when needed, so making them easy for him to find is important.
So, I started with THIS mess:
And one hour later (while on conference calls - multitasking, woot!) this is what I've accomplished:
A few weeks ago, I tackled an even bigger project, and I cleaned out the OFFICE (aka Room For Things That Don't Belong Anywhere).
It started out like this:
And at the end of one afternoon, I have this!
Now the challenge that lays ahead is this:
1. make it cuter - starting with a new desk, going from there
2. make it more functional (different desk, perhaps different room arrangement, organize the closet in this room more efficiently, etc).
What other spaces should I tackle that I may not have thought of yet? I did re-organize my walk-in master closet a few months ago...I THINK he'll have enough room for his clothes & shoes...but I could stand to do some more work in there too. :)
Oh my goodness, you have been cleaning up a storm! YOu should win some sort of an award for being able to multitask. Its a skill!
