Oh the humanity!

Ok, so I forgot to take before pictures... oh well, they would have been depressing anyway. I'm no where near done - just bored of this project for now.

So, I spent nearly every penny of a recent anonymous* donation to the Cake Monkie Enterprise on organizational needs at Target. I've been needing to do this for a very long time - and Dan and I have decided that we should start purchasing flour and sugar etc in bulk from Costco, since I'm blowing through it - and he wants to start making bread at home.

Anyway. Two metal shelving units, a wooden shelf, a drawer organizer, and 4 Tupperwares (and a new set of measuring cups, since previously we only had 2 1 cup measures and a 1/3 cup measure... they come together, on a ring, how does this happen?!) later...


My new cake-making storage center- you can see over the bar into the pile of "crap I haven't yet found a home for."


New wooden shelf over sink provides more shelf space in the cupboards for food items - something we desperately need.


Not an exciting photo, but whatever.


And the ominous prunes, ready to strike at any moment.






*By anonymous, I mean my Mommy

It's like a tornado blew through here

My kitchen is awful.
It's tiny (tiny!) and always a mess. An organizational nightmare, and unkempt hellhole - except for those days which I am cooking a cake (or of course, other food) which I intend to serve people, or people are going to see my kitchen. All other times all bets are off.

And so, today I shall attempt to remedy this. I will go through the cupboards, I will match Tupperware lids with Tupperware bottoms, I will throw away the bag of prunes hiding behind the cans of vegetables which I am rather sure I purchased for cookies made Christmas before last, I will purchase shelving and storage to contain the massive amounts of sugar, flour and electrical appliances that I own. (now including an ice cream maker!!!!!)

By the end of the day - I hope - I will have a clean, and useable workspace.
There will, of course, be photos. Unless I fail.
