Ok, I have to admit, this is one of the messiest spots in our house...the kitchen counters always seem to accumulate junk at an alarming rate. I wanted to not only clean the counters, but find a way to organize it so that (in theory) they could stay clean. (Please note: I can't believe I'm actually sharing these before pictures!)

I honestly thought that this would be an hour long project...however, fate had other plans. I started by clearing off the small counter, easily done; then I started to clean off the larger counter, again easily done. The problem came when I started to organize. First I had to figure out where to put Hoppy (our tree frog), then after I decided to move Hoppy, I had to move the refrigerator to install an extension cord (insert story about breaking the outlet and needing to repair)....
Finally, after installing not one extension cord (incorrect plug type) but two, I was able to "start" my project of the day. I have to say, I'm happy with the way it turned out. I have bins for mail & school work that once full can be sorted (in theory), and I have a small containor for "junk" to keep it off the countertop (which is sadly almost full on day one). I also moved my cookbooks to the other countertop (closer to the stove) which makes much more sense. Although there are some things that I could still make changes to, I am happy with the result. Project Two - Done!!
