A Domestic Hawt Mess

By Rachel Golberg | September 23, 2010 |

What you are about to see is embarrassing.

Yeah…

Go ahead and judge my domestic abilities. Lord knows I do.

I had to do something! I couldn’t let Husband live like this! (please know this is dripping with delicious sarcasm. like he EVER goes under the sink for ANYTHING) Excuse me why I laugh my ass off.

But seriously I figured that if I organized it that maybe Roommate #1 Roommate #2 or Husband would remember to put the bag in the can after they take out the garbage.

I know. I seem like a wanker complaining because the boys take out the garbage for me. But its not the nicest when you put the remains of your plate in a bagless garbage can. Its a hawt nasty mess.

So I got this great idea from a Better Homes and Gardens that I stole from the doctors office.

Supplies: over the door hanging basket thingy ($15 Bed Bath and Beyond aka Mecca), Stacked wire shelves ($12 Bed Bath and Beyond), bag holder thing ($1 from Ikea aka Heaven) Plastic drawers ($4 from Walmart aka my guilty pleasure) Bonus: Fiona the most presh cat in the world!

Walla! Organization!

Let me take you on a little tour….

ohhh….

ahh….

Please hold your applause. I know my new found domestic skills are the bomb dizzle…

This little basket holds stuff we use like every second of every day. Dishwaser packs, Jet Dry, Little garbage disposal cleaner thingys, and of course, the very easy to access, should always go into an empty trash can, trash bags!

Here we have a flashlight (used all the time during hurricanes, thunderstorms and when I’m home by myself), All my fancy pants Williams Sonoma soaps, a little bag holder thing (we use grocery bags for small trash bags in the bathrooms, once again, a naked trash can should never exist after this feat of organization) and finally clorox wipes.

Here we have little drawers to house the rags and Mr. Clean Magic erasers and a little bin for the dirty rags. Top shelf of the rack houses all of the cleaning supplies from the most used to the least used. The bottom shelf of the rack houses spare dishwasher packs and more cleaning supplies. Easy peasy.

Finally, a 3M strip and a hook I found in the junk drawer = I will NEVER lose the dust pan again. (unless someone doesn’t put it back…..which is entirely possible in this house)

So there you have it. Now I can actually find all the stuff I need on a pretty regular basis. You may now bow down and worship my domestic goddessness. (its a word. I just invented it. and defined it as a matter of fact)
