A flurry of home improvement in December

Winter is here in Wisconsin, and the snow if falling outside.  Inside, there is a flurry of home improvement underway.  We have been bopping from one project to another, getting a few things done here, then there. The central vac is being installed, bit by bit... there are now a hide-a-hose outlet and a vac-pan installed on the first floor hallway wall.  That same hallway just got a paint job, from ceiling to walls to woodwork, including doors. 

But in the midst of this another great moment has been dawning... Flylady is back in our home.  You probably heard of her... the lady with the home organization website that sends out e-mails to people reminding them to shine their sink, etc.  I have had fits and starts with her system in the past.  But perhaps my day has finally come, because I have received a burst of energy and zeal for cleaning and organizing our house, and if I can channel it into daily routines and keep this up, we actually will achieve home organization for the first time since we've moved to this house.  

In this quest, I've been taking some free time to look online for ideas to organize various parts of the home. Today I was thinking about organizing my master bathroom.  I hate the above-toilet cabinet, it just does not work for me.  The shower and toilet are in their own room, while the sink is out in a nook that does not have a door on it, in the bedroom.  I hate that.  I guess the previous owners were going for a hotel theme?  It just makes everything stored in the drawers too accessible to curious toddlers.  

So I came across a good website, and I wanted to remember it, so what better to do than stick a link in my blog?

It takes you through several rooms in the home, showing organization ideas that are possible for anyone to achieve.  I am looking forward to trying some things, and will report back as I get my own home organized.
