Organizing My Husband's Workspace

My husband is away travelling right now, and as much as I miss him, this has been the perfect opportunity to purge and organize his work space. It's hard to believe looking at the picture below that he actually was able to work here and knew where everything was. I've been told all tech workers are like this, but it still seemed a little too much to me. 

The picture above is from about a month ago, a few things were organized by my husband before he left, so I shouldn't take all the credit, but it still took me three days to get it from close to that to this:

I love my husband very much, but if his desk gets messy again I think I may have to kill him. 

Organizing the Pantry

Our pantry has needed a little love and attention for a while, so I finally got around to doing some organizing. Although there is a vast improvement, I'm not 100% happy with how it looks now, I think I'll let some of the food whittle down a bit and go from there. Here are some before and after pictures, just in case it's hard to tell the before is on the right, while the after is on the left.

Canned and baking goods before, become canned, soup and baking goods after.

From the top to bottom: baking goods, pasta related items and baking items that are sealed. Notice how I used some old baby wipe containers as risers, pretty ingenious eh? Well maybe not.

I have no idea what to do with this pantry, all I know is that I want to change it. Add some more shelves in between the existing shelves? Paint the Shelves? Some thing's in store for this pantry. 

Organizing The Fridge

One of my goals for this year was to be more organized with everything. Time management, my closet, old kids clothes, my fridge....you name it, it needs/needed organization. Now while I'd love to attack my husband's desk with about a dozen black garbage bags, I won't, at least for now. His desk as he believes, is an organized mess and paperwork and receipts from 2006 might be needed one day (I doubt it though).

Ahhhh! See what I mean!

I've starting working on organizing a few things since January already, overall I'm pretty satisfied with what I've accomplished. I really wasn't planning on doing much today, it's cold and raining outside and all I had on my list of things to do was relax, then I went to make lunch. When something remains disorganized for so long you usually become accustomed to it, at least I did, that is until today. I opened the fridge door took one look and decided that I wasn't going to be putting this off anymore, today was cleaning and organizing day for Mr. Fridge.

Before

After

I feel so much better, being disorganized is stressful.
