Thank You Mrs. Alferd!

Although I've never met Mrs. Alferd,

I can tell you one thing about the

lady we bought this house from.

She was crazy organized.

When this house came on the market she had already moved out.

No furniture, no decor so I have no idea what it used to look like

when she lived here.

But I imagine her looking something like this:

I thank my lucky stars each and every time 

I open a cabinet or a closet.

I am an organizer by nature.

I just feel so much more at peace when everything is in it's place.

Mrs. Alferd was possibly my soul mate.

I'm going to share with you some

things that she did that make my heart sing.

 

(Now, just know that everything is not coming up roses around here.

Soon I will be posting pictures of the projects that need to be done.

We've got some ugly stuff going on around here.)

MASTER CLOSET

The two skinny drawers are for jewelry.

Don't tell anyone but I had my jewelry shoved in a shoe box

 in my underwear drawer at the old house.

There are three of these rows of shelves for shoes.

In the bathrooms, in addition to having drawers,

the cupboards all have slide out shelves.

Please excuse my blurry iphone pics.

The laundry room has slide out hampers.

And every cupboard in the kitchen has slide outs.

I have absolutely no reason

to be unorganized.

Disorganized.

Unorganized.

Help me out here Jo, are these words interchangeable?

It's been chilly here and our oranges on our tree are ripe.

I picked a basket full of them and made fresh squeezed OJ.

I could sure use some advice on a good citrus juicer.

Kris, can you recommend a good one?

My arm is tired.

But the juice is sweet and delicious.

Anyone in the area need oranges or grapefruit?

Come on over and get some.

Grapefruit is nasty.

xxx-ooo
