Get organized!
Okay, be honest – have you ever driven in a neighborhood at twilight and “peeked” into the windows of the beautiful homes as you pass? I confess that I certainly have. I’ve often said to my husband, “Please slow down! You’re going so fast I can’t see anything!” I guess that’s why we all enjoy home tours; we get to look without the guilt! 🙂
I’m going to give you a tour through a few areas of my parents’ home. It’s so lovely, so organized and so full of wonderful ideas that I knew you would love to see it. My mom is very creative and comes up with great ideas and my dad is gifted with his hands and able to do whatever idea my mom comes up with. You’ll see what I mean…
To add a decorative touch to a wide doorway they placed a small decorative curtain rod high on the wall, draped a curtain and tied it back to add a splash of color and interest.
Here’s the curtain from the other side…
These double doors are right off the eating area and kitchen. What could be behind them?
It’s the “laundry room.” Not only are the washer and dryer stored there, but also shelves for the storage of needed laundry detergents, spot removers, etc.
A pretty glass jar holds spools of thread for loose buttons or mending jobs.
Linen napkins sit ironed and ready to be placed on the table at mealtime.
There’s a spot for everything. A cute little wooden box on the wall holds the dryer sheets. Who says that the laundry room can’t be decorated with flower arrangements and prints?
Clever, huh? Now you understand why whenever I get home after visiting I do a major overhaul on my house. I reorganized, straighten and decorate because they always inspire me. I hope they’ve inspired you too!
A small cedar box holds a button collection.
The pretty baskets on the top shelf hold tablecloths and place mats.
A pretty tassel added to a cabinet door adds a lovely decorative touch.
Behind a decorative box and behind some greenery the computer’s router is well-hidden!
Everyone has a drawer full of gadgets. My dad added this sliding drawer in the pantry to hold all those things that are too big for a regular cabinet drawer.
Because the spices were out of reach and always toppling over, my dad made this spice rack in the door of the pantry. How convenient this is!
Everything’s within easy reach and much easier to find!
The food pantry has wire shelving in the door to hold lots of small items.

Nana inspires me, too!
And I'm prety sure that her spices are in alphabetical order. That does make it easier to find what you need!
