A Girl After My Own Heart

I'll start by saying, I love organization. When things have a place, and everything is in its place, the world just feels right. When my house is a mess and cluttered, it makes me anxious and just leaves me feeling unsettled. However, when everything is put away, I feel relief. Today was a happy day for me because I was able to create more space in our house. Allow me to share, in pictures. :)

My parents gave us money for Christmas to get a new entertainment center. The one we picked allows us to hide our DVDs inside of it (something else I love...hiding junk!!). We weren't able to get it until yesterday, because we had to do something with our old entertainment center (my parents took it from us). Here's our nice, new entertainment "credenza" (as it is called on the box!):

On Saturday my dad came down to empty out the storage building he had been renting us so we could take all of our stuff that doesn't fit in our new place to my parents' house since they are so generously going to store it for us. While we were at their house, we got to take this over-the-toilet shelf that had belonged to my grandmother, but wouldn't fit over the toilets in my parents' house. Today, I went to Big Lots and got a few baskets to go on it so that our toiletries can be in the bathroom, but not advertised to everyone who comes in!! That looks like this:Emptying out our old entertainment center meant finding a new place for all of the Wii accessories. Once again, I like my stuff HIDDEN!! I went to Big Lots today intending to find wicker baskets for the bathroom, and a big one for the Wii stuff. I didn't find the baskets I wanted, but I did find better things. I ended up finding this really pretty planter for only $12 and it holds all of the Wii stuff wonderfully, and looks great under the end table!
And finally, the reason for the title of this post. Tonight while Karys was in the bathtub, this is what she did with her toys. She did this all by herself, with no help or suggestions from me:WOO HOO!! :)
