The Office Shelves Organized: Phase 1

If I had been on top of it I would have given a 'before & after' picture of the shelves.....oh well, a 'before & after' the organizing of the shelves is the best I can offer.


The containers on the top are only kid toys I can't part with.....so that shelf is done! I am hoping to group like things together tomorrow....time will tell!


Note: The top shelf is 20 inches, the rest are 16 inches. I can add 2-3 more shelves if I ever need to. (As of now, I need a sewing area. I can't wait to put that together!)

Clutter Free, Stress Free!

They are finished! Woo-Hoo! The office shelves are up and running. It only took 3 hours or so to complete the job. They are the 'ClosetMaid' system and how easy was that. It felt like instant shelves. One more small area taken care of to the best of mine and JD's time, ability and budget. =) We threw the boxes onto the shelves just to get them out of the way until I can organize them, which if you know me at all you know I look forward to doing! They consist of old t-shirts and wool for rugs, toys I am saving for the grand kids, Christmas wrapping, crafts, sewing, stamp collection, old typewriter (why am I keeping it? :/ not sure...) and a few odds and ends that have no better place to be. Even the kids are happy to have the make shift stacks off of the floor; both the kids appreciation and the stacks having a home is rewarding!
