We spent the long weekend being incredibly productive around here. It all started with this fridge. We had friends buy a new house and ask hubby to help them with a few projects. Their new place is over an hour away so it turned into a few overnight stays to help them out. They knew we were in the market for a new fridge for our garage and thought they’d thank us with this awesome fridge that way in their new place that they didn’t need. Of course Hubs loves the blue cans they filled it with!
Hubby cleaned t all up and got it hooked up and I’m in love. This fridge is so much more then we expected for our garage and I’m super excited about it. In the summer we do a lot of outdoor entertaining and this will be really helpful and keep us from having to make a million trips back and forth. It will help all winter long with coupon deals too!
The fridge got Hubby motivated and he took off to Home Depot. He came back and surprised me by putting the shelves in one of the downstairs closets I’ve been wanting for four years. This closet is really going to help me clean out and organize through some stuff. You can’t tell but it’s pretty good size and goes over about another foot. I’ll be able to put a lot of my Wilton supplies in here and clear my pantry of a lot of small kitchen appliances I don’t use on a regular basis. The stain still needs to set. Hubby said I should wait a week. It’s hard to be patient!
The next day we woke up and said we needed to keep going. Johnny had been wanting out of his bunk bed for months but we knew it was going to be a project. The desk under his bed stored a lot for him and we weren’t sure what to do with it all. We purged his room right before the holiday and it was the perfect time. We disassembled the bed and got him the box spring and frame and he’s back down at a normal height and loving it. I love it too as I don’t have to climb a ladder to check on him!
I didn’t really do much with the bed so I thought since they needed me on a call ‘as needed’ basis I would clean the bathroom in the room next door so I was close by. Well, when I looked under the sink for cleaner I realized it was time to do something about the mess I let happen. Sadly, so many of the bottles were almost empty and the bath toys were yucky and needed to be tossed.
I use one of the drawers for supplies like sponges, trash bags, and gloves. It was a mess and I realized I just needed to attack it all. I threw out all that needed to go and organized the things that were staying. I was even able to put a large bin under the sink that had been kicked around the room twice over.
In the end I didn’t just attack all the drawers but the two cabinets and closet too. It really does pay to have a few bins on hand because when you want them it’s nice to have them on hand. I could have used a few other sizes but I’m really happy with the outcome.
We’ve decided that next weekend we’re going to spend a day doing it again. This time we’re attacking the soon to be baby room. It’s really the master bathroom off the side of our bedroom. We never finished it (like so many things) and it’s just sheet rock and floor boards. For now it will work since we don’t have another bedroom. We just need to get it from looking like a storage room and more like a bedroom!

Looks like you got a lot done! That really is an awesome fridge, I wish mine had that much space! Happy WW =)
You did a great job! I wish I have done as much as you have around the house.
That fridge looks awesome … send some motivation my way … I need to do some major cleaning in mine.
Wow! I can’t imagine having a fridge like that in my garage!
Wow, that’s absolutely fantastic. What a great fridge. That will be so great for outdoor entertaining, and even when the kids are playing outside too. What a great hubby doing all that neat stuff. You go girl, but don’t over do it now! Keep those feet up. Hope you had a Happy New Year & the best to you & your family.
Oh my you have been busy! Love weeks like that when you get so much accomplished.
Awesome fridge! Great job on the organizing! I was able to get a few things done this weekend, but I really need to go room to room and get rid of stuff!
I think sometimes when the mom nests, the dad nests to. It just takes the males longer to catch on. My husband decided to install our new front door when I was in the hospital with Isaak. He had to watch Mica anyhow. Quite the project!
Looks like you’re keeping your hubby busy. Hope you & your family had wonderful holidays, and I hope you & yours have a Happy New Year!
Wow! Love all the work you got done. I also enjoyed your cleaning reminders on Facebook. 🙂 I did get my tv dusted and some counters tackled. So much more to be done though!
Lots of productivity going on here.
Holy moly, you went to TOWN!! I need to do the same thing…but there’s SO much to do. bwahahahahaha
That is the biggest fridge! Sounds like a lot of work 🙂
Wow – lots of cleaning and organizing!
You guys really did a lot of work! I’m so impressed, and having a fridge in the garage is such a blessing!
Wow, you got a ton done! I love extra shelves, you can never have enough storage space.
I did a big purge and organize in my house last summer. I felt so much better after it was done, but it was a lot of work.
Great job! I really need to get some organizing done around here too.
Wow, you have been busy! It all looks great. I am in desperate need of some organizing.
We have a fridge similar to that , I LOVE the bottom freezer! Also love your new pantry/storage closet, I could use a couple of those!! Happy WW!
I need some of your motivation! I have been off all week and have nothing productive to show for it!
that’s majorly productive! And I love that fridge!
You guys did a great job! You are inspiring me – I’m off to recycle about a zillion boxes I’ve accumulated around the house today and take donations the Goodwill and the Food bank!
I’m really sorry, I was trying to add a giveaway to your Wed giveaway linky and for some reason my computer jumped down to this linky instead. Sorry for the inconvenience of having to delete my link!
Don’t you feel awesome now! Our house is CLEAN right now, but I need to organize some closets!
Me? Organized? hahahahahaaaaa You did a good job though! I wish I had the knack for being better at organizing!
I SO need to get some organizing done! Great job!
Looks great! I love that fridge!
My husband organized my fridge over the weekend. I am currently working on my desk area (it’s a mess) and the pantry.
How wonderful for you to help out your friends move, and a terrific gift in return, including the blue cans. =)
I love all the organizing you did over the weekend. Bill & I get into those moods now and then, too.
Can’t wait to see what you do next weekend. =)
I love it. Hubby went nuts this past weekend and made me clean out the pantry and other stuff too. I like an organized house
Oh man I wish I had the energy to get my place organized.
Is that Bud Light in cans? lol Kinda looks like it … Love the fridge and if it’s Bud light like that too. LOL I think that motivation can be brought to my house for a weekend because I can’t seem to find mine. Happy WW!
Oh! Great job! I need to do all that stuff too!!
I love the fridge! I am amzed at all the work you got done. My house desperately needs it!
Congrats on all your hard work!
Wow! So much work! We need some time to get that kind of stuff done as well.
