A little bit over here, a little bit over there.

Another organizing/decluttering post for ya!

This little number sits on the kitchen counter by the phone.

I put this up on the wall by the door a few months ago, thinking it would help us keep mail and stuff organized. It didn't. It just got jammed with stuff, and it stuck out way too far from the wall. It was a total bust.

This was how much stuff was in it....most of it was recycled/shredded.

Cluttered Papers
I grabbed these on sale at Ikea for $1.99.

They'll probably make their home in the living room on the bookshelf. Right now they're hanging out on the kitchen counter.

It's such a huge adjustment living with another person and all of their stuff. I wonder if there are people out there who find it totally seamless and unstressful?

On Monday, I'll take a break (a long one) from talking about organizing, and give you a little bathroom update!

Keep in mind that I said little. It won't be anything exhilirating!

In other news...it's snowing!

  2. I've already seen something I like so much better than this, haha. But, this way we each have our own holder, plus one for bills, and one for outgoing stuff (the books in the one holder are "outgoing"). We'll see how it goes!
