While the Wife's away....

.....the Husband will play!!

Ok, I wouldn't really call it playing, but our little home has been driving me crazy lately. Jamie went to Coeur d 'Alene ID for the weekend. Last night she flew to Spokane to be picked up by an aunt for her cousin's wedding on Saturday, so I figured it was the perfect opportunity for me to get things done around the house while she was gone.

The whole goal I have right now is to make it "feel" like there is more space in this house. I feel like we have cluter everywhere, and it is time to get rid of stuff. Now, when I say stuff I am talking some junk and some good. I just can't stand having something up against every wall in the house.

I started by putting up these shelves so we can get rid of a bookcase.

This bookcase will now be will be sold!!

I put shelves up in the office closet to hold my music so we can get rid of a smaller bookcase. I also moved the piano into the closet.

Now on to the pantries!

Yes, I said pantries because at one time we felt we needed a second pantry more than a linen closet. We moved all of the linens into a bedroom closet and moved the chips, crackers, popcorn, jello, pudding, and cake mixes into the linen closet to be known as pantry #2. Pantry #2 was really a junk food closet, and it is time to consolidate. I am ready to have the linen closet back.

Here is pantry #1 with all of the stuff from both pantries. I added the consolidator for the cans as an early birthday present Jamie. I am glad I got it all to fit.
Now there is space in the closet for the linens!! I will be moving those soon. Hope you enjoyed my little update. Hopefully I can continue getting stuff done around this place. Who knows.....if I have time and you are lucky enough....you may even get another update!!
