Getting organized and a QUESTION
Starting to spend more time organizing the house now than moving from the apartment. During the school week I'm just not up to the back and forth of doing the last few loads (though John still goes to the apartment every day), but the last of our stuff should be in the house by the weekend.
Yesterday I got the main bathroom organized and that was huge. We installed some roll-out shelves under the sink which is much better than the cluttered shelf I used to keep all the bathroom stuff on in my old linen cupboard. Finally put up a shower curtain and settled on a colour for towels/bathmats, etc.. The walls are gold, but there is a crimson stripe in the white tile in the shower, so I thought we'd go with crimson accessories for now. We've got green accessories for the bathroom in the basement and I haven't decided on colours for the main floor bathroom yet.
John finished building the second dresser, so my next task is to organize the clothing. I've been so used to just having all of my t-shirts, sweatshirts, track pants, etc. on an open shelving unit that it will be really nice to have enough storage space to actually put all the clothing out of sight on closet shelves and in dresser drawers.
QUESTION:
Still have to come up with some system of organization for my jewelry- necklaces, earrings, pins, bracelets, etc.. The necklaces especially seem to end up in a tangled pile. Fellow jewelry lovers, sing out to me. How do you organize your jewelry?
John's bringing my crockpot over from the apartment today and I'm going to make my first slow cooker meal in the new house :). I'm making couscous and sausage soup.
Frighteningly, we also think it's about time to make another trip to "Solutions"...
