Small Victories!

This weekend with the help of my parents, we heavy-duty cleaned the girls’ bedrooms.  During this process we found many different boxes and bins being used to store the girl’s art supplies.  It was a little bit of chaos.  Years ago I had created this storage box for the girls art supplies and it worked well for the time being.  However, over the years they have accumulated a lot more and the box just wasn’t cutting it anymore, which explains the extra boxes and containers being used to store everything.

So my hubby and dad went to Shopko for me and picked up a solution to bring a little order to their art supplies. After a little assembly, we now have a new “art cart.”  Each drawer houses specific art supplies.  One drawer for color pencils, one for scissors and tape, one for stickers, etc.   So far the girls love it and I love that we were able to get rid of some more clutter.  Not only did we get rid of some extra boxes from their rooms, we were even able to clear out two baskets out of our entertainment center in the living room. 

The new "Art Cart"

I have been posting to this blog for a year and a half now and I think that it has made a big difference in our home.  The process of getting rid of clutter and bringing more order into our house has been a slow one but it is so great when you can see progress, even when it is as small of a victory as an “art cart!”
