I cannot believe that it has been about 6 weeks since I last blogged - I actually did this organisation project about 4 weeks ago but have not had a chance to write it up so here we go.
I have a cupboard under the breakfast bar that holds all of our stationery items. Only problem is that I am forever getting requests for Pens, Pencils, Rulers, Colouring in gear from the children because they can't find anything. This is why:
So out it all came onto the kitchen table - and with much rolling of eyes from the Hubby I started to put things into piles with the biggest being the rubbish pile.
It was at this point that my youngest decided that this would be a great time to do some colouring in so here he is doing that.
I labeled chinese containers to hold the crayons and felt pens. The coloured pencils are in a container that has long since lost it's lid and to be honest I have no idea where it came from in the first place. These labels were just done in word, printed off and then cellotaped onto the containers with extra wide tape so they won't fall off.
Now with an empty cupboard to work with I started to put things back.
This is the final product with all the everyday items on the top shelf and the extra stuff on the bottom shelf. I googled 'how to make a box' and found that it is so easy - the pink box in the top right shelf is just made from cardboard and my daughter helped to decorate it.
Much easier to find things now and the bow in the top shelf has gone as well.
