Oh no...

Joining Pure Style Home today too with my tupperware storage ...


I did a little organizing and de~cluttering today and it feels so good!
 They say what you can't see wont hurt you... but it drives me CRAZY!!

Since we were snowbound with 14" of the pretty white stuff I decided to take a look at a few drawers and cupboards today

I am almost embarrassed to even show them... but being that I am trying hard to keep it real... here goes nothing
I have not de~cluttered these since the holidays...


Hutch drawer in living room.. this is our go to drawer... the one where we keep most of the things we use all the time.

Here is the after

Yep that is the same drawer...
Notice the organizer ~ I love it! And made plans to begin using it the RIGHT way today!
It was from Christmas Tree Shops
It cost $9.99
It came with stickers that I put in the little cubbies for things such as tape, scissors, pens, sewing supplies, coins and so much more

The dust has since been vacuumed out LOL

Moving along to the end tables in the same room... again not cleaned out since the holidays.. 
you know... 
friends call from the driveway and you make a mad dash around the house to put everything into a drawer...

here is the after...

Not guaranteeing they will stay this way but for now... I love it!

Moving onto the kitchen... another spot I have not de~cluttered since the holidays... boy this is BAD!!!

This is our plastic container/wrap/baking cupboard

Here is the after...

Much better!
I threw out quite a few containers and even filled one up...
Here is the Tupperware container I decided to properly use...
It is divided in three sections with a stopper that you can move for what you need

I put half boxes of foods into it
pastina, rice and polenta all have a new home!

Too cool!

So moving onto our food cupboard...
Photobucket
I threw out some stuff and the put other things into smaller containers
Here is the after
Photobucket
Much better!
This large cupboard and a drawer are the only places we use to store food
 This way I don't overbuy and I throw less away

Here is the drawer
Photobucket
It is supposed to be a snack drawer... I moved the coffee stuff to a higher cupboard because we only use coffee for company but it has been there since ... the holidays
Boy the holidays really get to me LOL
Here is the after

Here is my spice drawer... a royal MESS!
Photobucket
I am ashamed... even the chalk wore off of the cute bottle project!
Here is the after

Again better!


Thanks for coming along with me and for keeping me honest!

Wohoo... the hubby found the cord!

I have been waiting so long to show you all the house pictures!
Here is the living room ~ before and after from FALL
This is from the MLS pictures




The picture above is after we painted and the curtains were hung up ~ the carpeting was still to be replaced with a Berber

This is a picture of what the room looked like for FALL (late fall)
The new carpeting is in and it is all decorated

This is a closeup of our faux fireplace
As you can see I love to paint and distress our furniture

I have this matching hutch in our living room
It was my grams ~ I painted and distressed it with black paint and stain!
This was a display for Thanksgiving using only what I had from the other house for display


Stay tuned there is so much more to come!
