OK, now onto my blog:


Yes, Basket Case -- as in using baskets for storage...or shelves. Actually shelves.
And you thought I was talking about myself didn't you? Ha!


My bed area had no space to put a clock, a box of kleenex, my glasses or the remote control. I like to watch TV in bed at night. But my bed is the overhead bunk area of a small ClassC, so it doesn't have a nightstand. Actually, nothing can stand up there! Trust me. I tried an air mattress once, that didn't work out well. I kept hitting my elbows on the ceiling! So I use a memory foam mattress (foam pad) on top of the cushions. It's a comfy bed. Anyhow, back to the shelves. Soooo, it was driving me nuts (nuttier) that I could not put my things anywhere without worrying that I'd find them under myself sometime during the night. Didn't want to break my glasses or turn the TV on only to wake me once I fell asleep.


So here are the baskets.

Pretty nifty huh? I can have a place for my clock now & actually see it. A place for air freshner. Then the seagrass basket can contain my kleenex's, hand lotion, glasses & remote control! Small paperback books would fit in there as well.


My other problem area is in my bathroom. It's small. My sink has very, very little space around it. Things fall off & bomb the poor trash can that sets in a corner of the bathroom, by the sink. It now has the hammered finish! So I got this to contain the daily items on. My cabinet door drives me crazy as it constantly tries to close on me, & it's small too, so not much room for stuff in there. So this shelf, which is actually a shower caddy, fits perfectly in the corner where I can put my daily items on top of! Thus not having to mess with that cabinet door, taking things out, setting them on the counter, etc.   But my toothbrush & toothpaste still remain inside of the cabinet! You do not want those sitting out on any counter tops in a small bathroom like that. It's not really all that sanitary to do so.


So now all I have to contend with is a pump type jar of hand soap on the counter. Much cleaner & much easier to deal with!

The orange thing is a cute air freshner container that contains orange scented beads & a lady bug on the lid. I didn't take a picture of my items on the shelf. But I'm very happy with the way they fit & another solution resolved! :-))

A sunrise from a couple of mornings ago:

Wow, yesterday was my 100th post & I missed seeing that! So today's is post 101.

~As always, be kind to your pets, clean up after them on your travels & respect your neighbor~
