I have taken a brief hiatus from kitchen cleaning, although I have been doing a stockpile inventory (almost done).
However, this week, my husband put a new/old cabinet in the house for me. It's one that used to be in the kitchen. He kept it in the garage after we built a pantry this spring. It's good sized....just kind of hard to find things in the very back.
But it's in the house and I am using it. We have a stand alone cabinet that we bought very cheaply many years ago, and have been using it as a pantry. It's on its last legs. Hubby thinks he can sell it on Craigslist. I've been using it as my stockpile cabinet, but am moving things to their permanent home.
So this has triggered a complete reorganization of the room. It's a decent sized room, and this particular room used to be our family room and has evolved into an "everything" room. My husband's weight machine (scarcely used) is in this room. The elliptical machine I got some years ago is in this year (also scarcely used). I have a nice buffet and desk, and have moved the desk to the wall next to the stockpile cabinet because I mostly use my desk to sort coupons.
The desk was on one short wall, and when I moved it I moved everything away from that wall, and washed the wall last night.
Tonight I moved one bookcase back to the corner it was in, and rearranged the contents of said bookcase.
I moved another bookcase to the other corner. This bookcase used to live where the stockpile cabinet now is. I haven't cleaned this bookcase off, nor have I put stuff back on it. That's a chore for another day.
Then when I have the bookcases filed up, and the floor vacuumed again, we're moving the buffet to that wall.
The weight machine will then go to the spot where the buffet now resides.
That wall needs scrubbed really good first, though.
The curtain needs replacing in that room, but I'll have to save up for it.
Which means I will need to get really good at couponing and saving grocery money.
It all comes around, doesn't it?

The bathroom is done!
The second bathroom is scrubbed down, including the floor. It looks really nice, if I say so myself. I'm hoping maintenance on it will be easier, and that I can follow FlyLady's principles more often and keep it looking this nice.
I rearranged things in there this weekend to make room for my growing stockpile. I'm glad to say that it is growing!
I keep cleaning things in the kitchen and finding more to clean. So this week I want to just get it done.
Tomorrow I want to clean out at least three drawers. I've done these drawers in the recent past, so it shouldn't be that bad. I also need to finish the stockpile inventory and organize the pantry a bit better.
After all that, I'll have to clean:
the junk drawer
the pots and pans shelves (times two)
the drawer in the stove
The plates/bowls cupboard (three shelves, needs new paper)
The plastics cupboard (two shelves)
and the stuff under the sink
I can do most of this during this week. A little every day.
