Tip for small closet space

When you have no space for bulkier items like coats, keep a coat rack in the corner of your bedroom so it looks organized even if it has to be out in the open.

What winter potted plants have you had success - with semi shade/sun?

My mums and snapdragons were not blooming on my front porch, I guess not enough sun

So I moved them to full sun. I go out and talk to them everyday and check to see if there are any new buds of flowers coming on

The round green mum had beautiful small pink flowers and kept in bloom for a long time, but it has never bloomed again.

The snapdragon plant has gotten lot's of new flowers since I moved it to full sun

One of my flea market treasures.

This little child's chair was in great shape, you can't miss it with it's bright red color

It is hanging on the wall of my office, it makes a great shelf

These kitties are very cute and low maintenance, you don't need a litter box

they came from scrap lumber in our shop
painted them with black chalk paint and
added life to them with their adorable eyes
and a cat collar with twine string tied into a bow

I have a very clean Babe, my office manager.

We are not too fond of getting clean, but we do walk into the shower without a leash now

It is 80 degrees in the middle of December, taking advantage of the warm weather!

My fixer upper

We are taking the tiny inefficient closets out of the temporary remodel which will be my temporary kitchen, pantry

we call it the “CA room” short for “Catch All Room”

This used to be a tiny bedroom with a tiny 1/2 bath. It is right next to our carport and makes a great entrance to the house.

When doing a fixer upper and you clear out one room, where does all the stuff go that was in this room? Stay tuned.

Where does all the dust go?

You need a good vacuum ! ! !

Where does all the demo trash go?

We have Dumpie, a 12 yard dump trailer and Ol Man Blue takes it to the dump when it is full.

Do you want to feel better? How is drinking more

Do you want to feel better?

How is drinking more water going to help me with my sock drawer?

Drinking more water may help maximize physical performance, may help with energy and better brain function, may help relieve constipation, may help prevent hangovers, and they say it can aid in weight loss.

How hard is it to drink a glass of water several times a day? Especially while checking social media!

Cleansing out your sock drawer/container can help

if you can find your sport sock to go with your running shoes so your feet will not get blisters.

Finding that right sock to go with your ankle booties will increase better function because you are not self conscious of the miss-matched socks you realized you put on in the dark closet.

A clean sock drawer is a definite relief to constipation when you can find the color and style.

If your socks are organized it will relieve further damage to your brain from trying to find them with a hangover.

Weight loss can occur when we don’t have 20 pairs of white athletic socks and they are all different sizes and brands.

Take micro itty bitty steps to cleaning out your closet and at the same time pop another top of water and drink to your health.
