Organizational Challenge Week 1 Refrigerator and Cute Canisters

Well, I certainly hope I'm not about to scare anyone but...

MY

 HOUSE

IS

OUTTA

CONTROL!! 

When people visit my house they always tell me how relaxing and calm it is...boy, do I have them fooled!!

The holidays, homeschooling, and life in general, have wreaked HAVOC on any organization I once had.

So, It's time for a fresh start, right?  I am committed to getting organized, one week at a time.  So this is week one...here we go!

 My house everywhere, was complete chaos this week as I took down Christmas decorations and got our living space back to live-able.

Is this what your house looked like this week??

So, I'm starting with a small space because that's all I had time for.

The top of my refrigerator is a catch-all for tools, hardware, knives, and misc and the canisters were not being used for their intended purpose.

All they were storing was a bunch of junk...old chargers, batteries, bulbs and headphones.  Most of which I was quickly able to pitch in the trash.
So, I cleaned off the frig washed it down really well and then spruced up my canisters.  They were a bit outdated (I got them as a wedding present almost 19 years ago) and didn't really fit in with my cafe-style kitchen.
I just flipped them around (hiding the flowers on the back) and made tags for them...identifying what it is in each.

Then made some rosettes like the ones I made from my dollar store baskets, using left-over material from my kitchen awnings.

I hot glued them both to the canisters and this is what the canisters look like after their mini-makeover.

I also made a magnet to hold my grocery list and a magnet for My Princess' artwork.

This is the total frig transformation.

I filled the canisters with the appropriate contents...who knew canisters could hold so much flour and sugar!!??

It's a small start, but I have to start somewhere!  What about you?  Are you getting organized this year?

Blessings,
