It never fails. Every time I walk past the desk in my kitchen I try my hardest to avoid looking at the PILE. It is always there, mocking me… and my lack of organization. School papers, bills, catalogs, coupons…and to make matters worse, each day it grows even bigger! I did move a good chunk of my files up from my basement office to the kitchen desk drawers so that it would be easier for me to sort the mail, but alas, the pile still lives, and thrives.
The other day I ordered some photos from an on-line photo site. Okay, A LOT of photos, and they came in two nicely sized boxes.
These shipping boxes inspired me to create two simple file boxes that I can leave on top of the desk to help eliminate that dreaded pile. With a coat of paint, some ribbon, and some stick-on letters, they turned out rather nice.
It also turns out that my kitchen desk looks so much more organized WITHOUT the unruly stack of papers. Can I get an AMEN?!
Amen sister!
