Googling my house, Part 2

Since I can't actually google my house...no matter how long I sit here and kill time on the computer...I have had to find a different solution. It's called Cleaning Out and Putting Things Where They Belong.

And I think I have found the best way to do that...hire my organized and organizing friend Sarah to help me! (Well, actually, Sarah was the driving force...I was the helper.)

I could kick myself for not taking a "Before" picture, but really the final result is beautiful on its own without needing any contrast.



Look! Look at this closet! It is gorgeous! Aside from the quality of the photograph, it could be on the cover of Martha Stewart Living! I want to decorate it with flowers. I want to sleep in there on a pallet on the floor. I want my whole house to be this pretty.

I leave these closet doors open all the time now and just feel the order and peace wafting out over me like a benediction when I walk by.

Now, I know about entropy--that slide into disorder--but I wish it were the other way around. I wish that the rest of my house would, by osmosis, become more orderly because of the good example of this closet. But instead, the rest of the house looks even more slatternly by comparison.

 Ick.



Ugh!



So, I really hope Sarah will keep coming back and nudge, cajole...or whip...the rest of the place up to the same level of beauty and order as what is now known as the Pretty Closet.

Sarah?

Please call me back...

Please?

Now the Pretty Closet has a mate! At least, getting started on it. Soon, you won't need Google--we will find those things, my friend. We will find them.

I have pretty closet envy. And pretty closet shelf envy. Thanks for leading me into sin.
