Everything in Its Place by gardenfolk

Everything in Its Place

A place for everything,
everything in its place.
… Benjamin Franklin

This project is complete…for now. Let’s see how long it stays like this. I found all the lids and if no lid, it was gone. We weeded out, donated and organized. It looks so nice. I am inspired to do the same to a few more lower cabinets in the kitchen, the linen closet and the bathroom cabinets with roll out shelves. If you give a mouse a cookie…

I have only scratched the surface and need to do so much more organizing. Especially in my closet(s)! And in our office! Shoes & paperwork galore. I feel like I spend half my time looking for things. I say that I have everything I need…I just don’t know where it is!

Motivation is the key! And that buried treasure chest. :)

"A place for everything, everything in its place is an idiom that means things should be kept in order and that the best way to stay organized is to keep things in their correct places."

Easier said than done. I can organize and then a week later, it looks like a tornado hit. LOL! So, I am going to enjoy this collage for as long as possible.

Getting things organized and cleaned out feels great. Enjoy while it lasts.

@joansmor LOL! I know what you mean! At least I can see everything now and won’t come across something I bought 10 years ago and forgot about it…way in the back. Out of sight, out of mind. :)

Oh, well done - we should all do this!

Love it! You're an inspiration, Cathee!

@maggiemae The roll out shelves make all the difference! You can see everything. You do not need to get on your hands and knees to see all the way in the back of the cabinet. The really deep drawers extend 28".

Somehow I can look at my house and it seems I have blinders on. Most of the time, I just don't see the stuff.

@randystreat I do not see the stuff...until I want to take an indoor photo or someone rings the doorbell. :)

I can identify with the text completely. At least you will have proof of what it looked like once.

I especially love the drawer with the storage containers. Well done.

Well done, I hope it stays so neat and tidy ;-)

I really like it, although it never happens to me.

I am so with Benjamin Franklin there.......but in practice, I find it never lasts in the house. But I love what you did there!

Brillant neatness… I can’t help myself doing this…

❤️ The tornado only hits if you just throw the stuff wherever when you put it away. Now that you have a system, when you put things away just put it away where you pulled it from. It takes just a few more seconds to find the right place but saves you oodles of time in the long run.

You’re an inspiration! A wonderful collage. I keep my kitchen fairly well organised but let paperwork pile up!
