Tackle It Tuesday - Inspiring Organizing Makeover Photos!

If you are looking for inspiration and examples of Do-it-Yourself organizing makeovers, you will LOVE the Tackle it Tuesday posts on the 5 Minutes For Mom Blog!

Tackle it Tuesday was created by Janice and Susan, identical twins and founders of 5 Minutes for Mom as a way to motivate themselves and others to get their homes under control! Each week on Tuesday, they post before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that was tackled this week. Many Moms are participating!

I love this idea! What a creative use of blogging! It doesn't have to be a big project...any little thing will do!

UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK

Even though I did this a while ago, I'm sharing the before and after pix from my under the kitchen sink project!

BEFORE

When we moved in 5 years ago, I used an old dish drainer and a blue basket you can barely see in the back...but the stuff had outgrown the containers and it was a pain to get to stuff!

AFTER

The dish drainer got donated and I got a locker shelf from Staples and a shelf/basket unit from my Neat Living Store to organize things better! The blue basket now has all my plant watering & feeding stuff. (Yes, I use an old water bottle : ) And the shelf/basket with drawer is PERFECT for holding sponges and smaller stuff. I love it! It's really great quality too. And it fits perfectly in my small sink cabinet. Every other time I had tried to buy a similar unit at LNT or something, I had to return them for being too big. So be sure to measure first!
