SPACE-O-RAMA and a little more organization Laundry room redo

Hellooo, everybody! The Fresh Pioneer is back. Sort of. What is that saying? Better late than never?
Well, here I am, up after an entire night of fevered editing and polishing, checking in to Yankee Belle Cafe (before I try to grab a few hours of sleep) and what do I see? Mindy's post is still up!
I laughed a little. UH OH, someone forgot to post!

And then I realized.... that someone was ME.

Yeah. So, I thought I'd talk a little about organization. Because, clearly, I don't have any.

 Setting the stage:
This is my laundry room table. To be fair, we were redoing the living room and all the supplied somehow ended up here. Yikes.
                                      
Intro character number one: an old entertainment center that I had just convinced my husband to let go of, since it was half broken and was a $30 cast-off when we picked it up 15 years ago.
                                                 
I was celebrating my victory and chatting with my friend Christalee. She said, "Have you seen those Pinterest pics of entertainment centers repurposed?"
Um.... No?
All it took was one picture and I was converted! I would SAVE the entertainment center and make it work in a whole new way!
                                             
Behold... the power of spray paint.
 All the painting supplies in one box- shocker!
 All my vintage canning jars gently nestled into another box.
 My curious doodads, buttons, beads, and shiny things... waiting for their turn to be put in a box...

They didn't wait long!
 My acrylic paints and brushes, antique camera and other tools... carefully set on the shelf.
                                                          
TA-DAH!! Isn't that amazing? Final product! (And yes, that is a tank of frogs there on the shelf. There used to be a hamster but he passed away.)

So, I hope this post inspires you to organize the messy place in your house... or perhaps just inspires you to use a calendar to make sure you DON'T MISS ANY COMMITMENTS.

 Apparently, I can't rely on the old memory anymore. Please tell me you all are forgetful, too. (If not, just lie. I'll never know.)

  Until next time!
