How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was pretty good. I had a fairly productive Saturday, but fell a little short on Sunday. Plus I have a problem with evaluating how long it takes to do a project. It’s a little unrealistic to think I can tackle my whole to-do list in a weekend.
But here are some things I did do:
This was my junk drawer (which hasn’t been organized since moving in almost 6 years ago) before-
Yes- all of the stuff on the counter came from inside the drawer.
It was a little hard to open.
And here it is now after a little purging and organizing-
I also had a VERY dirty stove and microwave. I’ve had a lot of spillage while baking these past holidays. So, lots of crud on the bottom. I tried to clean my oven with the self-clean function on the dial a couple of weeks ago. That. was. a. big. mistake. Cleaning it was not fun. Let’s just say my boys and I had to evacuate the place because the smoke was too thick. Never again, never again.
Here’s some pictures to show the grime and grit.
I just used some good ole’ trusty 409 cleaner and combined it with the Magic Eraser. Not sure if that was a good idea- but it did the job. Also, I put some lemon water in a bowl inside the microwave for 5 minutes and just wiped out the inside. Easy peasy.
No amount of cleaner or elbow grease was touching those drip pans. Sorry you had to see that. Disgusting, I know. So I tossed them in the garbage. I went to the store and picked up 4 new ones for under $10. Well worth it! My stove looks brand new.
Hopefully, more house projects to come!
You're right, that pic did turn the stomach... It does make me want to clean out my junk drawer though! :)
