No Longer and Eyesore

One of my "to-dos" for 2013 I actually cheated on and did it in December. Sue me why don't you;)
I have seen all kinds of pretty ways on pinterest to make your storage drawers less of an eyesore and I was anxious to get on it.
Living in a small 3 bedroom house with a family of 6 means we have to make sacrifices on space. One of the sacrifices I have made is that I don't have an actual office space to create in. I know--end of the world right?! I dream of a room that is just for me to craft and create in...

Someday:)
For now I have a desk in our kitchen dining area along the wall. It has become somewhat of a catch all for all the things I need to make, fix, finish, think I need to save for some unknown and foreseeable future thing... the result is somewhat of an eyesore and I knew it was time to do something about it rather than just be annoyed about it. I am proud of the few things I gave away and the other things I threw out. It felt like losing 50 lbs over night...if I could imagine what that would be like!
 

It no longer makes me ill to look in this corner...although this year I will be making another visit to the Habitat Re-Store to look for a cabinet to hang above so that I can hide the rest of what is out. Out of sight out of mind!
