Spray Paint Storage {a quick fix}

This post contains affiliate links

Last night the hubs and I stepped out into the "Man Room" for a bit to start organizing his workbench.   He was joking earlier in the day that MY workshop was getting spendy.... haha! Then it occurred to me that I really have only asked him for one thing in that whole room. 

Spray Paint storage!! We both use spray paint, but let's face it, I am a self proclaimed paint junkie!! I love my paint!! 

Behind the door into the workshop used to be the home for all of our packet goods in our stockpile. 

 

 

I was getting ready to take this all down, when it hit me!  Spray Paint could live here!!!

I probably paid $5 for this over the door shoe organizer years ago, so to me this was a FREE solution, PLUS I didn't feel like I was taking up any man space.

When I started stocking my new space, I realized that I need to have a shelf for my essentials, such as Flat Black, Heirloom White, Primer, Clear coat and Chalkboard. 

 

I just have too many of them for this to hold.  So this will be my color choice slings!

I am sure there is storage like this somewhere else out there in blogland, but for just one moment I had that total light bulb moment strike and was having pure organizational bliss once again!  

I hope this inspires you to organize your own spray paint, or heck, maybe it will inspire you to start hoarding using it!!  Either way, I am happy to share this idea!

My Secret Addiction!

Tonight I found myself in the kitchen waiting for my homemade chicken noodle soup to finish cooking, and went looking for a container to put leftovers in for lunch for tomorrow. And to my suprise i could not find a match for the life of me! So, I said to myself "Jenn, this is not right, nor is this you" It was that second that I opened my cupboard doors and pulled EVERYTHING out!! Well at least in the plastics dept... here is what I was sitting in the middle of.......

OK, so that picture doesn't look too bad, the bad part is that I was only about half way there!! And this my folks is why my Tupperware lady loves me!!! And I think I love her more :)

I started to sort thru everything and find all the matches and realized I truly have a problem/addiction to plastic. For example, These are JUST freezer containers..... so WHY are they in the cabinets?????

These are for my childrens lunches, and I only have 2 of them that take lunch to school?!?!

These are all produce containers, but do you think you will find one in the fridge?? Nada! Oh, and dont let the picture fool you, there are about 13 of them there!

Here is everything all nicely tucked away, all matched up! (yes, it drives the hubby crazy that I do this) but it makes life looking for tupperware much more enjoyable!!

OK, so I have shown you my un-used stock of plastic, now let's be fair and show you where the true addiction lies......

This my friends is my Pasta and cereal stash............ aaahhhh so lovely.........

This is my spice/baking area.............

And this is what is currently on top of my fridge until we do our remodel...........

So, what do you say?? A little OCD? Many people drool over the organization, but really what do you think??? I would love to come do this to anyones houses too.... it gives me a high to play with plastic and a label maker! Ha

Oh, and one more thing... as a reminder to myself why we are going to tear apart our 59 year old kitchen... just scroll back through the photos and look at those gnarly cabinets!! March can't be here soon enough!!!


And one last picture for good measure......
