Been unpacking and rearranging all day. Trying to decide if I want to clean out the laundry room for it's narrow counter space and sink to use for soaping or just lug everything to the kitchen in front (the house is deep) for soaping. We are living with his dad and teenage brother for now, and I don't want to be in anyone's way. I can tell you that cleaning up after three dudes so far... has been less than fun...
My honey gave me three shelves plus space for my wire shelf in our closet, so I've spent a lot of time in there tonight. It's amazing how much clothes space I was willing to give up for soaping stuffs.
Funny thing was, I'd packed all my fragrance oils in shoe-box sized plastic storage boxes all wrapped up in bubble wrap, so I unpacked all those first (of course!). I got them all situated and organized by company, FO vs EO and bottle size and thought "Yes, this is better than my old closet, these aren't packed nearly so close together!" .....................Then a few boxes later I found another little box of FOs. Doh!!
I told my honey he can't let me buy ANY MORE FRAGRANCES EVER!! (All the BB bottles and two short NG bottles on the far left are ALL holiday FOs
)
(Sorry everything is so bright/blurry! There is a super bright flourescent light in this closet, I tried my best to edit the photos' brightness but not much I can do...)
Here are my three shelves:
And here is my wire shelf, still a work in progress, but I was able to clear up the bottom shelf for my scrapbook papers, stationary, gift wrap, and the plates I use for taking photos of soaps. Still need to take my soaps out of their storage boxes on the top shelf, and I have a stack of now-empty storage boxes I need to find another place to put. Feels good to kinda/sorta have my own space now and not be in someone else's way.
