Organize It! – Mama 'N Chief

To be quite honest there is enough storage space in my home to accommodate the 4 people who live here but that still doesn't make us exempt from clutter and excess. My husband is usually the first one to point out when we need to start purging. It will either come in the form of an announcement or me finding stuff in the trash. Either way, when he “suggested” that I should consider reorganizing our hall linen closet, I knew I better hop to it before he started his free disposal service. Technically, the closet wasn't too bad. A little disheveled and a tad cramped but not the worst I've ever seen, cleaned, or organized. I started by cleaning everything out and immediately noticed that my husband would be in all his glory because I realized we didn't need or use half of the stuff inside.

Organized Farmhouse Pantry

It’s Farmhouse Fri-yay! I am one who loves all things farmhouse, which is why my home, dubbed The Chateau, is all about farmhouse decor. When you’ve spent 15 months building a home, it needs a name and a bougie one so Le Chateau it is! While building my home, my builder brought up the idea of an open pantry just off the kitchen, to stay in line with the European farmhouse theme. It was essentially supposed to be unseen to guests unless I purposely directed them there. Sounded like a great idea, right? ***Slams hand down on the table like Judge Judy*** WROOOOONG! Considering that we remove our shoes in the house and ask our guests to do so as well, everyone typically enters our home thru the garage. There’s a mud bench in there that makes it easier for shoe removal. Needless to say, when people enter through the garage, the first thing their eyeballs come across is my “hidden” pantry. Now we all know that pantries are our secret place of nutritional and not so nutritional hodgepodge, that can
