My sisters mentioned an organizing blog they sometimes look at called Sunny Side Up, well, I'm hooked. I drool over her before and after pictures of closets she has organized. Weird, I know. But here are some of my before and afters. I couldn't help myself.
First, my spice cupboard. Overflowing.
Look at how much stuff was in there! 
Now, all nicely organized and I don't have to pull out every single jar until I find what I need buried in the back. 
Next up, my baking cupboard. I don't know why I have a baking cupboard because this stuff rarely gets touched. I forgot to take the picture with all this junk still in the cupboard, but you get the idea. 
I found new spots for those rarely used items and put my regularly-used cookbooks here instead. 
And nice little (what I had on hand) containers for those little things.
Now, the junk drawer. This is embarrassing to even post, but this is what it was and it only got opened to throw more junk inside. 
And wouldn't you know it, it was ALL junk. I threw so much garbage away. The drawer was so empty that I filled it with tools that I was too lazy to take outside to the shed.
Now the real reason I started organizing anything. My utensil drawer. I hate digging through this drawer hunting down what I need. I decided to just get rid of stuff I never use or have five of or is just kind of cheap. I would rather have nice things than a drawer full of junk. 
And now . . . look at this thing of beauty! 
I love opening this drawer! I love to find what I need, I love that it looks like this every time I empty the dishwasher and put something away, I love carefully putting each measuring spoon in place. Ahh. I'm sure this love affair will wear off quickly. It has only been a week and Brandt has yet to open this drawer, but for now, I'm in love.

I love seeing (and doing) stuff like this, but never take the time to snap pictures. Thanks for sharing!
