Here a Little, There a Little . . .

Lately I have been trying to organize all of the neglected parts of the house. I started with the boys clothes.

Their drawers looked something like these piles

and now they look like this (there are labels on the pics but they are probably to hard to see). They now have bins for pjs, pants, shirts, socks, and underwear all within reach so they can get themselves 100% ready :)

Then I moved onto the little office nook in the kitchen and to the ubiquitous 'junk' drawers. Everything pulled out on the counter looked like this . . . .

And with a few inexpensive bins from Walmart it now looks like this :)

Finally, the pantry :/ How I ever was able to find anything in here is beyond me. But in the interest of full disclosure I have included a pic of the 'before'

With a visit to the dollar store for bins and $12 dollars later - my pantry now looks like this. It makes me sleep just a little better at night :)

I especially like my labels. I used the plastic name badge holders so that they can be easily changed and attached them to the baskets with a little bit of leftover grosgrain ribbon.
And on a funny note, Hailey woke up from her nap, looked in the pantry at all the new labeled baskets, and told me that it was very pretty :)
