Organizing Projects


So we have been doing a few organizational fixes in our house and this weekend we spent pretty much the whole time sanding, priming, painting, sawing, and installing all of our new shelves and my new craft organizer. The pic above is Nick fixing the fan so it doesn't make any noise anymore!

Here is the gameroom closet with the extra shelf so I can now use the other side for my crafts!

Below you will see my new spice rack. We spent entirely too much time at the container store and bought a few fun organizers. Here you can see how the spice rack can be pulled out and down so I can actually see all the spices! Congrats to whoever thought of this idea. It has already proved useful!



Nick is hard at work creating the brace for my pegboard craft organizer!

Works all done! I have started to fill it up with my stuff and am very excited about how it turned out!

After all the hard work we decided to check out an Italian Gelato Cafe that we heard was pretty authentic tasting because the owners are from Italy. Nick always tests Gelato by how well they make his favorite flavor, Pistachio, and he said it was delicious! I had a "forest berries" (which is really just mixed berries but they translated it directly from Italian) milkshake and it was really good. I can't wait to go back to get a panini because they looked delicious. And in case you wanted to know the difference between Gelato and Ice Cream, Gelato is made with milk instead of cream so it has less fat!

Now that we have all the organizers up we just have to put away a few more things in preparation for Nick's parents to visit us! They are coming in two days and we are very excited to show them around San Antonio!!
