Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s not too much house stuff to update you on.  We still have no eaves, we still have massive piles of usable and unusable wood, and we still have primer-ready walls.  Work is progressing, but it’s a slow, careful process.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few ideas that I’d really like to explore in the new house.  For those of you who know me, you know I’m an organization junkie!  I’m a nerd, I know, but I get super excited when The Container Store has a sale.  Unfortunately I’ve always lived in apartments, so it was more of a cram-everything-we-have-into-any-space-available approach.  I’m now freakishly excited about all the space we are going to have to keep things organized!  Here are a few of the ideas I really like.

Linen closet storage…put the sheets in pillowcases to keep everything together.  Genius!

Bathroom storage…what a cute and efficient way to organize items for your guests!  I can’t wait to have guests to pamper! :)

Make-up storage…I’ve never had a drawer to keep my make-up in!  (Sad I know…shed a tear for me.)  I can’t wait to be able to just close the drawer and hide it all.

Wrapping storage…if there’s one thing I love more than organizing, it’s gift giving!  Sometimes I get carried away, but I love creating gift baskets and other things that I know people will love.  My ultimate goal is to have a gift wrap room (a girl can dream), but this would be a good solution until then never.

Pots and pans storage…I could totally geek out on this storage system.  Must have.

There you have it.  My top 5 organization dreams.  To see more of what I like, check out my Organization board on Pinterest!  

Happy Hump Day!  (PS, this is probably my favorite commercial of all time…especially the very end.)
