Thank you for humoring me while I put my house back together again.
Yesterday, I shared the main part of the kitchen that I tidied and organized and brought back to normalcy. The other areas of the kitchen were in great need of attention as well, and I will share that today.
In the comments last week, Beth suggested that I not try to be perfect. Ha! Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I am about as far from a perfectionist as one can be. I am all about being good enough and leaving it at that. So…that is what I did in all these projects. Good enough.
I had a new chandelier to hang, pictures to straighten, a whole lot of crumbs and messes to clean up and a bunch of stuff to put away that seems to just sort of drift it’s way into all my spaces.
It’s much better now:
This other area of our kitchen is constantly a disaster. Everything gets dumped there – mail, school stuff, toys. It drives me batty. It was REALLY bad the other day.
I put everything away, gave some stuff to goodwill and just in general got the space back under control. That cabinet with no door has had a curtain in the past but my kids are always pulling on it so it got ruined. I made a new one and lectured the kids not to mess with it because it’s not often I break out the iron and sewing machine and I want it to stay nice.
I hope two things. One, that if your house is a mess you can find the light at the end of the tunnel like I did. And two, if your house is never a mess that you aren’t cringing and hate me now.

Wow! Looks great! I used to live in a mess and like yourself finally did something about it, it only took me being pregnant again to do it. With this second baby on the way, I feel compelled to clean and organize. My husband loves it and my 19 month old daughter is too young to appreciate it. I also must admit I love it too! Less stress and it feels great knowing everything has a place. My next project is our garage, but of course being pregnant, I do need a little help from the hubby! Man, I wished I documented my changes! Thanks for posting.

We NEVER hate anyone because they have a mess! Your house looks very naturally lived in, even at its worst. You haven’t seen my house–much messier than I like, but my DH isn’t very neat. It’s hard to pick up his stuff. But I could have a neat house and no hubby, so I choose what is best for me, and DH wins every time (well, most every time.) lol

Wow! You’ve been busy. Everything looks fantastic. You’ve almost motivated to get away from the computer and start on my own mess.

How sweet of you to mention me
I am so not a perfectionist either. I mean, I like things how I like things but nothing is perfect around here. I basically do things just to check them off of my list 
Ha ha!
And by the way, your casa looks great
