New Kitchen Shelves
My kitchen is very small. I'd say floor space is 5' x 6'6" and room space that's mostly appliances and counter space is 7'6" x 9". I have only a few cupboards that have to be used for both food and dishes because I do not have a pantry. I also had a lizard that I kept in the counter because it received light from the door's window.
But good news! A family that I babysit for is moving, unfortunately. But, they gave me two shelf units and I placed one in the kitchen. At first I thought that It would waste the valuable floor space, but actually makes the kitchen look bigger by freeing up the counter tops.
I had dishes in the sink so I didn't take a full kitchen photo, but here are the shelves.

Mini Kitchen Update
I created a DIY wine glass rack by using 1' strips of L-shaped moulding and small nails. It was hard to nail in without splitting the wood but in the end it worked out. If you look close, it's not cosmetically perfect, but it gets the job done.

A quick little project
As I was cleaning up this evening, i decided to do a lil project.
I saw a post on iheartorganizing about how to organize under the sink. And though they were are reasonable priced supplies, I haven't started tw school year yet and needed to use what I had around.
I cut a box to fit under the sink likes drawer. I wrapped it in paper bag-like wrapping paper I had bought previously at the Dollar Tree. I used packing tape to adhere it to the box. Then I used little $1 section baskets from Target on the right side and added my spray bottles. I filled the left side with my stash of paper towels as a reusable Trader Joe's bag for recycling.

Organizing my iPhone icons
Hello blog world,
My youngest brother (9) has come to visit me from Los Angeles. This has put some projects on hold this weekend.
But while we sit and watch Empire Strikes Back, I decided to organize my iPhone icons to condense to 2 screens, rather than the 5 I had going.
I also put the groups in alphabetical order.
