Spring Break, part 3 (Adventures in Cleaning & Organizing)

So in this post, I'd like to discuss my last few days and what I've accomplished on my "pipe dreams" to do list.  On Monday, I was able to grade my projects and clean the windows.  That was probably my most productive day.  I still have 40 essays to grade, but I know they'll get done... eventually.

Projects graded:  check.

Very dirty windows.  This has literally been on my "to do list" since
we bought the house last May.  Yikes, that's almost a year.  

Another dirty shot.

Room with the windows out.

I cleaned them in the driveway.

And here they are... nice and clean!

My last little touches came with some help from my friendly neighborhood ROSS store.  I was perusing the isles on Tuesday night and came across some pantry storage bins that I loved.  A few weeks ago I was actually looking for some, but eventually gave up.  Tuesday, I just happened to stumble upon these.  I used all of my March budget money to buy storage bins and two candles for the (very LARGE) candle holders my friend gave to me.  Now, I think the living room is complete!

Ahhhhh... an organized pantry.

A blanket basket.  Thank you ROSS!

And finally, candles for the holders.
