💐 ¡Hola! ¡Hola! 💐
Sunday was made for resting... They said... Today is for cleaning, moving, organizing, throwing away, and making plans for the week. Last week I did some "crazy shopping" taking advantage of Cashea's credit and among my purchases, I bought a shoe rack because I certainly have neglected the laundry area, and as a perfectionist, that makes me uncomfortable because even though I don't see it every day, I know it's there telling me that "as long as that is in that state, my home will not be in harmony._" The fact that it is a space to place those things that don't belong in the bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchen, but that we also can't get rid of, doesn't mean we should have them piled up, because if we want to use the space or need something, we can't find it easily because it's buried in that maze of things.
The big project is to change the laundry room. Due to ignorance, we bought it at EPA (a hardware store) and it was of poor quality, accumulating mold. That's not the issue, but because of that condition, I have abandoned the place until I can change it. Under this excuse, everything was thrown around and disorganized: bags, shoes, containers, cleaning products, trash bags, baskets, leftovers from every job I do at home – TOTAL MADNESS! I always thought about a piece of furniture, but obviously it is very expensive. So, when I saw the shoe rack, it was love at first sight 😍. I imagined everything organized and in its place. Especially the shoes, because when they are "crammed together" they get dirty, and it is not right to have them in those conditions.

Its cost was $14 and the assembly process is very easy. My Asian friends really know how to explain in such a simple way and visually so well explained, that it's just intuition about how each piece fits. It contains tubes, canvases, and T-joints, which look like Lego, and instead of seeming tedious, it becomes exciting and pleasurable level by level.
For each level, I realized that it was quite big, tall, and more spacious than what I saw in the store; that's why I feel very satisfied with the purchase. In addition, it would serve me to hold more things:
With everything set, let's get to work! The area of the laundry room looked like this:
Everything thrown around, dirty, messy, and washing, too uncomfortable. Well, first, I cleared as much as possible because I needed to know where I would place it. It had to be a spot where it had stability and, because it was large, it wouldn't be obstructed by anything else:

After that, the job became easier because I just organized everything that was thrown around or out of place. First, I arranged all the wallets and bags. It turns out I had about 4 of those that no one knows what they are doing there without serving a purpose, but for one reason or another, they stick around. Also, 'the bags of bags' were a complete mess, with an excess of bags that made me feel guilty about the planet. I cleared out the storage of those bags that were not necessary.
I have the mindset that _things should be discarded to make way for the new_ and it worked for me because the following week I bought myself a new bag 🤣. The easiest part was locating the shoes because THEY ALL FIT IN! It was as if they were just waiting for the right pairs and size. I realized that I only need those shoes and no more (for now), so I took advantage of another space to store other things like caps 💯. I loved the result! I present to you the result. What I liked the most is its "front cover"; I have a tendency to cover things up and thus not see the mess inside 😊:

And the whole laundry area ended up like this:


Notes: 🌺 Buy your shoe rack. You don’t know you need it until you have it 😉.🌺 I’m about to buy another one because I want to store Christmas decorations there and other things; the more shelves, the better. What holds me back is that I have to check the space, because it should be smaller to fit in the area. I’ll come up with something.🌺 I think the space looks nicer, I can walk comfortably, visually I no longer have everything placed in disorder and now I don’t have to bend down to find pairs of shoes, but I can take them directly from my new shoe rack 😎.🌺 The payments are comfortable and small, so it didn’t cause a depletion of my savings 😊.
