We have a leaky bathtub faucet and a leaky pipe in the basement and yesterday afternoon, I finally called a plumber. He came this morning, but I didn't have time to shower or anything before he got here and while he was working, I had to find something to do that didn't involve water (since the water was turned off), so I started in my kitchen, just rearranging stuff.

Well, I put away dishes, picked up, swept the floor and then started wiping everything down with disinfectant wipes. The plumber was still working, so I dove into the pantry and started organizing it. I did such a good job getting rid of old bags of stale chips and hard marshmellows that I actually had room for my Kitchen Aid to sit in there, instead of taking up precious space on my countertops. Well, I got so proud of myself, I took a picture of my new and improved pantry:



Then the plumber left and I finished up the dishes in the sink and wiped everything else down and by the time I was done, my kitchen was cleaner and more organized than it has been in 6 months (that's sad really).

I was talking to Christina on the phone about how excited I was about it all and she urged me to put up pictures, so here's my clean kitchen - ta da!












One of my favorite things in the kitchen - cup measurements from Anthropologie from Liz!!










Another one of my favorite parts of the kitchen - my yellow timer from Anthropologie that Daniel got me for Christmas.
