Getting Ready for the New Year

OK... We put the Christmas tree away, cleaned the bathrooms and I cut our hair.

AND we finished two more things in preparation for the New Year.

I finished caulking and painting all the moulding and baseboards in the three closets that Art finished a month ago. Not my favorite job, but it's done and everything is neatly stored in the closets again!  It's a nice feeling.

Then Art decided to finally take all my hints about wanting to add three more shelves in our kitchen cabinets.  I think he wanted to reward me for my hard work.

We went to Home Depot and picked up the laminated shelving boards.  Then Art cut them to size.

See how the top part of the cabinet has only three shelves.  I wanted another shelf on the bottom for my growing mug collection.  I promised Art I'd stop buying them on our travels once those shelves are filled.

Actually, he said he's fine with my buying a mug, since he loves to buy his souvenir t-shirts.

This is another cabinet that I felt could use another shelf.

I love it!

I now actually have some cabinet shelves that are empty even though I can't reach them easily.

It's such a nice feeling to go into the new year with things better organized, compartmentalized. and oh yes... clean.

I have two more days to go.  I wonder what I've forgotten to do.
