There is a shelf in the mudroom right by the back door to the porch...
...and it becomes my dumping resting point for everything I'm using at the time in the garden our outside or whatever. Honestly, it's easier to put it there rather than carrying it out to the shed. But for 2nd Man, it's a bit frustrating because he likes less clutter laying around.
I found this plastic tote downstairs at the apartment building (one of my trash to treasure finds a few weeks back) and figured it would be perfect for use as a way to corral the clutter. And with it being a rubberized plastic, it doesn't matter if items are dirty or damp. I can just put it all in there and dig around through it when I need something.
2nd Man is happy.
And if he's happy, we're all happy, LOL!
That tiny bit of clutter would NOT bother me at all. But, you free find makes it easy to hide it. I suppose it might make it easier to carry it all back to the shed if you were so motivated. Just keep everyone happy.
ReplyDeleteWell it was a little more than that, and kind of in a few other spots too, ha. It's just that it led to more and more. So hopefully I've nipped it in the bud, ha.
DeleteIf I could corrall the clutter to a shelf I would be very, very happy. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHa, I understand. It's a bit elsewhere too but this is a start.
DeleteA great looking tote to hold all your misc. items, plus can be spray painted to bring new life to an old storage unit.
ReplyDeleteThe balls of twine / string; store in ziplock bag to keep dust, etc. off and they will last longer and not rot by wet gloves, etc.
I thought about painting it but it seems like maybe not a paintable material. I'll have to check that out further. Great idea about the wet gloves thank you
DeleteMy kids use old ice cream buckets as their catch alls..
ReplyDeleteHey whatever works, right? Ha!!!
