the cabinet at the end of the tunnel
What I did today:
bought $125.00 worth of cleaning supplies, including a special cloth to mop the hardwood floors
spent two hours meticulously arranging the dishes in the cabinets
scraped paint off the hardwood floors
mopped the kitchen floor with the new cloth (which rocks, by the way)
mopped the hallway
washed all the crystal
carefully arranged the crystal in its own cabinet
mopped the kitchen floor AGAIN
rearranged the pantry
cleaned out the cabinet in the master bath
artfully arranged some beautiful towels we never use because they don’t absorb water in the cabinet in the master bath
cleaned out the linen closet, which is full of boxes of stuff that have nothing to do with linens
put the printer away in the linen closet to make the desk look less cluttered
made an offer on a house

Congrats! Good luck! And your cabinets look amazing. Mine never looked that nice, even when we were selling.

Ooooh! Good luck on getting the new house!

Hope you get the house! That is SO exciting!
And speaking of exciting, that artfullyarranged cabinet is magnificent. Isn’t it amazing how much storage your house looks like it has when you are storing less?

Try not to do as much today, or you’ll make us all look horribly lazy.
I mean, you’ll overwork yourself! That’s what I meant.

Good luck with the offer, your cabinet full of pottery is beautiful, and why oh why are there towels in the world that don’t absorb water? Do you think they were Scotchguarded?

About that paint on the hard wood floors. I have two words for you: Denatured alcohol. Works like a charm, with a little rubbing, takes the paint right off. No scraping required.
Congrats, I hope your offer is accepted.

I would totally buy a house with cupboards that organized. And m&ms.

What is the name of the floor cloths? We’ve lived in a house with hardwood floors for 5 years and I’m STILL trying to figure out how I’m supposed to clean them. Although with a 2 & 4 year old what’s the point??
April 2nd, 2007 at 8:41 am, Susan Says:
Criz, the floor cloth is made by Method; I got mine at Target. Click the link in the post.
I really like it. And if it can clean up after the messy messy painters, it can certainly take on your kids.
