One of the purposes of my one drawer at a time exercise is to think about how things are organized. Right now, I am working in my laundry room. As I have said before, there is stuff all over the place in there. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it definitely can be better organized. I have two shelves full of different kinds of things. There are lots of cleaning supplies on both shelves. I have chargers for tools, batteries, tools, light bulbs. They just are not well organized. Groups of the same types of items are in different places and often it takes a while to find something because I am looking in the wrong group of items. I need to get them together!
So, I am looking at some new shelves for my laundry room. One of the shelving units I am using right now is very old. It came from the laundry room out of my great grandparents' house. I love it. It's really more like a bookcase the way it is shaped. But it holds a lot of stuff, that's for sure. It is just not practical. I have more wall space along that wall that could be better utilized. I need a shelf that is about two feet wider than what I have now. And I could also go up at least another foot. That would give me more room to get everything together and organized. I can find a use for the antique shelf somewhere else; I've no doubt about that. So, it's time to start looking for some new shelves and saving up. I like when things are organized, and it will do me good.
