Every once in a while The Squire and I will play a little game called “Let’s Pretend We’re Moving”.
Yesterday morning we “played” in the back room. We don’t have a basement, so this is as close as we can get. The dryer, the pet foods, the clutter and chaos of over 40 years in the same house have all ended up there. We carried everything into the kitchen, and piled it on the counters, the floor, and the chairs. Bit by bit we moved it back into the back room, sorting it out and throwing away an incredible amount of stuff. This photo was taken after we had gotten most of the things put away. Some items, such as the shredder and a bunch of electrical bits and bobs were moved out to the patio to await a yard sale, and the groceries eventually found their way to new spots on the shelves.
This picture was taken once the back room had been tidied to within an inch of its life. I keep my canned goods in magazine holders, and I found so many veggies that had been stuck on the shelf and then lost that I need to get another one next time we head to the store. All of the various boxes of pasta are corralled in one section, and I was amazed to discover just how many packets of Knox gelatin I had. What on EARTH was I going to make with all of it?!
The Squire got rid of a bunch of things he didn’t need any more and now he has space to arrange things to they are within view, too.
I just wonder how long it’s going to take us to get it all cluttered again?

It always feels so good to get organized though!! Enjoy it while it lasts:)
