Let’s pretend that most of our rooms don’t currently look something like this:

And instead focus on the little areas that have been cleaned, organized and transformed. Like the shelves in the kitchen. Bulk bins on the bottom, display pieces (more to come) on the top.

More bulk bins were meant to go on the top shelf, but alas, I’m too short to reach them…
Appliances have been tucked into the recessed shelves next to the sink. They are easy to access but out of sight:

Built-in cabinets in the dining room have been filled with dishes and baking supplies:

Huh. Interesting that most of what has been unpacked is food-related… I really want to get back to cooking, clearly!

PS: Max hasn’t gotten used to the fact that our windows are no longer a mere 4 inches off the ground. However, he can still see out the upstairs windows, which makes him happy!




































looks great!
Thanks Mom!
You are definitely making progress!
My office looks a bit like that at the moment so I can relate to it. Emptied out all my files because new – and vastly bigger, better and superior in all ways – filing cabinet had arrived. Then discovered it had been squashed so that the drawers wouldn’t run. Am waiting for replacement and have files everywhere!
Max looks very cute!
Eek, how frustrating! Hope the replacement comes soon!
Love the built-in cabinets! Looks like you’re making great progress. Good luck!
They were definitely a selling point for us when we were house hunting!
your kitchen looks amazing!!
i LOVE the shelf of bulk items! i can’t wait to see more of the transformation.
max looks extra tiny & cute peeking out that window.
Love the shelves. The bulk bins are like functional decorating
