O is for Organizing {and then shopping}

What Did I Do This Weekend, you ask?
A few weeks ago I shared an embarrassing confession about this:
YES, those are were my haphazard kitchen cabinets!
So, to save-face I spent the weekend fixin’ up the joint a bit, and NOW…
My cabinets are no longer a disgrace.
And because I was on an organizing high, I moved on to my craft area in the garage. It went from pure madness:
To pure awesomeness:
{All that’s missing is a Cricut machine, *sigh*}
Then, as a reward for all my hard work, I went shopping {antiquing to be specific}.  I hadn‘t been in years and I forgot how glorious antiquing can be.  There is this quaint little antique mart where I live and if you’re a local you really should head over {I’m thinking Girls Day ladies?}.
{Love it}
And my knob obsession continues.
This reminded me of Baby W {so sweet}.
Antique riding cap.
{and I just so happened to be dressed like a jockey}
Bench in my {favorite} color.
Pillows = Happiness
Most awesome sign ever.
{have you noticed that “awesome” is kinda my word}
And I bought these to add to my collection.
All in all–my kind of weekend!
Where was Baby W this weekend, you ask?
Well, in addition to being a trooper during our antiquing outing–Lil W enjoyed his favorite Baby E DVD in his couch cushion barrier while Momma organized the kitchen:
And now Lil W would like to leave you on this note:
Are you smiling?

  1. I'm having my second We're Organized Wednesday link party this wednesday. I would love it if you have the time to link this post. There's going to be a giveaway too. Could you send me some of those blue and green crystal knobs? LOL I'm having a heck of a time finding them where I live.

    What a fabulous and productive weekend! Looks awesome. Those are some great shops. I really need to reorganize my tupperware, it's a mess and I'm realizing that little trolls are carrying it all off because it is disappearing! That calls for shopping…

    I just love this post!

    I am so glad that you reward yourself after a long day of organization… That antique market looks like a blast!

    I'm moving soon and there will need to be many rewards to motivate myself to pack – maybe antiquing! :D

    Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday. I still can't believe your craft area in the garage. Mine wouldn't look like that if it were in the garage. I hope to see you again in 2 weeks.

  1. [...] We all have that special place.  The one we go to when we want to be worry-free.  The place we go to recharge.  Mine, as strange as it sounds, is the Antique Mart around the corner from my house.  Which is why I have written about it so many times, like here and here. [...]
