{Project: Organizing Under His Sink, Where the Wild Things Were}

Confession: I get a little high off organizing spaces and finding the perfect containers

for the job. I actually think my brain releases endorphins from this simple process.

I feel happy when planning and doing it.

So, when I noticed that round one of my bathroom organization worked everywhere

except for under David's sink, I got excited. It meant I had an opportunity to fix it!

Reading blogs with organizing suggestions has taught me something. People will auto-

matically follow your system of organization if it's totally intuitive. If it's obvious and

logical, they will follow. If it's not, things will not end up where they're supposed to

and the area will eventually get messy. Case in point: Under David's bathroom sink.

It was getting a little hairy down there. More stuff-in-a-space than an organized area. So,

I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and found five small storage solution pieces for under $20:

* Three 3x6 bins

* One 6x9 bin

* A handy cabinet organizer designed for pantry items or spices

(I already had the metal rack. FYI, that's from The Container Store.)

Yeah, it's a bunch of plastic, which I was trying to avoid, but everything fit so perfectly.

The things he uses every day (lotion, mouthwash, deoderent, and cologne) are right up

front. Things he rarely uses (electric razor, electric hair cutter) are tucked away under

the shelf. Everything else has a spot -- and more importantly -- a container. *Sigh*
