Medicine Tote or Cabinet

Medicine Tote 

Before:

We used to do foster care and one of their rules was we had to have our medicine locked up and away from the kids. So, we bought 2 totes, 1 for our medicine and 1 for our Cleaners.

I took out all of the medicine/Vitamins that we don't need anymore or the ones that were expired and put them into a bag. 

Then I separated the remaining items into sections like: Children's, Vitamins, and General. And presto!

I love it when I go through things. I feel like everything is so much more efficient and we aren't bogged down by things that are just sitting there that aren't being used. 

Awwww! Relief. 

Medicine Tote

After:

I Googled where I take unused medicine and it told me where the nearest drop off station is to me.

Have a wonderful day!

Master Bedroom

Bed: Before

Sheets stripped, things decluttered, and sprayed & washed (Including the mattress. I just sprayed and scrubbed it).

Cleaned the sheets and put on a different comforter. As you can see I like my mattress extra soft, so I have an extra topper on my side. 

Bed: After

Dresser: Before

This is definitely a collect all area. I have a few of these around the house. I decluttered and cleaned and kept only the things I wanted on the dresser. 

Dresser: After

I love having a clean room. I feel I sleep better and just breathe a sigh of relief when I'm in my room now. :)

Happy Cleaning!

Laundry Room

Before:

As you can see I had a lot of work to do! What we did was take everything out, including the dressers. We have our laundry room double as our clothes room. Even though we have a bigger house now compared to what we use to, we don't have as much storage in this house. It is kinda nice to have the kid's clothes in the laundry room. There are a lot less clothes dirtying their rooms. :)

I decided the kids needed taller and more narrow dressers. So, I wanted to save money. My oldest boy and I went to a garage sale and got 2 dressers. We washed them, fixed any loose screws, and I painted the white one (Which was super heavy! We had to have our neighbor come over and help my husband move this into the house). 

I bought some cubbies for my daughter to have even more organization in her closet/dresser.

She was super excited! She will actually be able to get into her dresser better.  Yippee! 

After: 

 I went through everything, including clothes and got rid of a lot. Which felt so nice! There was a lot in our laundry room that didn't need to be there! We cleaned the floor and wiped everything down.

I bought some plastic baskets to organize my laundry supplies. I made sure to have the things I use the most down and accessible and the things that I don't use as much...up higher. 

Boys Dresser:

Can I just say that I love my new laundry room! We redid it for just over $100 (dressers included). This room is so much more functional and has so much more space. As I am getting rid of more and more stuff that isn't or never will be used, I feel so empowered!
