Seeing how I got home around 10pm tonight (after performing Brahms’ Requiem with a community chorus I’m a member of), I only had time for a minor clean-up to fulfill my NaBloCleanMo promise to myself.
Today’s project: the bathroom shelf:
We don’t have a medicine cabinet, so everything is either under the vanity (another project), or up here. While the top shelf doesn’t look too bad, the bottom one is full of things I only use rarely. And I don’t know why, but there is a pair of sunglasses in the basket.
I took everything down and wiped down the shelves. While everything was temporarily on the counter, my cat Joey decided he’d like to sit in the sink. Then he freaked out for no reason, knocking half the stuff on the floor.
That glass Nivea face cream container sure is sturdy.
Back to cleaning … I put all of the rarely-used face masks in the basket and threw away some random junk that was shoved up there. A few things were moved below the vanity. The only items remaining on the bottom shelf are ones I use regularly.
Then I wiped down the sink/counter for good measure. Not a major difference today, but every bit helps!
Now for today’s tidbit of thanks …
I am thankful that it is the weekend!


I’m impresssed! And I think I have that same basket.
Hmm, for some reason, when I went back to this post over the weekend my “after” photo was missing … I must have accidentally deleted it when making an edit.
It’s back now.
Hopefully you weren’t commenting on the cluttered before shot!
I think I need to buy more baskets for some of my other messes!
