The Ironing Board
I had a little thing this weekend at the nursery on Saturday, so that day was pretty much finished for getting anything done in the studio or at home.
Sunday started off as a lazy day but then the ironing board started us off on a whole new tangent. You see we had a fold down ironing board in our walk-in closet. I use the term walk-in loosely as it so packed with stuff we can barely fit in. The Woman decided that the ironing board was the cause of this and it needed to be removed. So I removed the ironing board and looked at the hanging purses and hats and the shoes that seem to multiplying on the floor.
I told The Woman that we needed to go to the local Lowes and see if they had any type of computer program that could help us design a better functioning space. Although they do this for kitchens they don't have this service for closets. They did however have storage units and even more important than that they were liquidating them.
So at 2:00 PM we drove off with all the stuff to change our cramped closet into a jewel of organization. The Woman and I could not believe our serendipitous luck as we purchased over $1000.00 of storage units for $250.00. By 8:00 we had everything back in the closet it was amazing everything, fall, winter, spring and summer clothes hanging all at one time. Sweater's, sweatshirts, and t-shirts all on their own shelves. Shoes in little shoe cubbies, hats and purses in their own little places. No storage containers tucked in corners it is truly a mind blowing experience.
As we were finishing up and vacuuming up the treads and lint off the floor that's when I notice the thing that started it all .... the ironing board ..... still has no home.
