Notice the the nice shelves under the window. They were constructed by taking off the swinging door between the kitchen/dining room and sawing it into three pieces. The doors in this house are 1 3/8" solid wood, so those are some sturdy shelves!
Also, the laundry area went from this...

The messy picture was taken over a week ago and doesn't do it justice because you can't see the rest of the cleaning & paint supplies piled on the floor and around the dryer. Everything is now neatly organized on shelves and I'm actually excited to do laundry tomorrow!
My accomplishments? Well, this was the rest of the family this afternoon...
Actually, we were all getting some much needed rest. Lincoln & I were in bed for 2 hours. Emily ended up taking a 3 1/2 hour nap. We took Cheney on a nice walk, too. I did sort through Emily's clothes and discovered she has almost nothing to wear this fall, and since fall has apparently already started, my goal this week is to do a little shopping for her. I made it through Lincoln's clothes earlier this week. Between gifts, borrowed clothes and hand-me-down keepers he has more clothes than days to wear them. Unfortunately, he has entered the drooly-monster stage and most of those cute clothes will be hidden underneath slobbery bibs for the next 6 months. :o( My goal this week is to tackle my own wardrobe. I have no idea where I'm at with things and was thrilled enough to finally locate a pair of non-maternity jeans and discover they fit!
I bet it feels so much better to be organized! I know my house could use some help right now.. but no, I'm checking email and blog updates instead. Oh well.. it will get done eventually.
