One room complete - Master Bath Cabinets

I finally cleaned out, purged and organized my master bath Cabinets.  It is done, finished.   Man, I had a lot of products (hair, bath and other products) in my bathroom.  A lot of the bottles were almost empty.  Why I didn't discard them earlier I don't know?  Who knows.  It is just as easy to discard at that moment you empty it as it is to put it back in the cabinet.

Organizing Manuals

Today's project is to organize all my manuals that I have around the house in varies places.  I want to contain them all in one location so that I am able to find them when I need them.  This is a good idea when you have forgotten how to operation something that you had not used in awhile or if you are like me, you have not took the time to learn how to use something to it's fullest potential.  I have many items like that latter. ...
