I was coming to say this! I saw a video where a girl put a pod, some beads, some white powder AND liquid fabric softener. First of all, what the fuck does that smell like, second of all, what does it feel like? I do not like overly fabric softened clothes (if that’s a term). I didn’t know what the beads were until this thread and I’m guessing the powder was oxyclean? Which my phone autocorrected to oxycodone… 🤔 💡
This thread is going off the rails anyhow, so how is your laundry room floor and does that part of your house still smell like coffee? Also, did your dog end up ok and how many cups a day is he down to now?
Lol! She is good, weaned down to 2 small cups/day! My chain will never smell the same.
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus
Does a freestanding storage cabinet from walmart count? There were doors. It's a step up from my normal wire racks from costco. I've even used Ikea cube storage. Also, what is a laundry room?
I don’t have the space or energy for a lot of this. I can’t see my husband keeping up with it, it’s a been a struggle to get him to return the condiments to the door and not a random shelf.
We don’t have a pantry. That sounds like a dream. We have giant Rubbermaid totes with flour and non perishables under our dining table lol We just have to move them when we need to fit more people there. And one on our enclosed porch. We are tight on space and do a lot of cooking.
I do have a spaghetti container because I buy it in larger quantities and the container has a lid that measures servings. I frequently put our eggs in a plastic carton because our fridge is small and we have to stack other food on top of them. We also have a couple of plastic bins we keep butter sticks and bricks of cheese in and one that has the burdock and pickled radish we need for kimbap because those packages are flat and get lost in the fridge.
I am amazed at the laundry room set ups people have! All I use are dryer balls and unscented liquid detergent so I wouldn’t have much to decant. People seem very serious about their laundry and scent combos online!
I do think a lot of it is busy work/needing content for influencers though! Plus you need spaces that photograph well with items that are easy to remove if needed.
I don't hate all bins and containers! I use them a lot for dry goods, especially stuff like rice or lentils that come in floppy bags.
Part of me is also bitter because I would love to be super organized but no one else in my family cares at all, not even a little bit. And then my feelings get hurt when no one makes an effort to put things in the proper place.
This is my major frustration. I try to keep the fridge in "zones" that are pretty straightforward. Drinks shelf, veggies in veggie drawer, fruit in fruit drawer, condiments on a shelf with a turntable. There's a big area for leftovers and prepped food. I don't have all the plastic bins but try to at least zone stuff so it's easier to find. And then I open the fridge and my boyfriend or the kids have shoved a bag of deli meat onto the condiments lazy susan. Or tried to fit a jug of milk onto the leftovers spot, which requires laying the carton down sideways instead of putting it on the drink shelf where it stands up and fits. Or a stray apple is stuck on the shelf on the door. And I just think to myself "WHY?!" and get annoyed and move it back. Rinse. Repeat. Until I die.
Just coming back to laugh/cry with an update. Just grabbed lunch from the fridge. SO took the salsa and butter off the lazy susan with all the condiments and shoved it onto a different shelf. There is now a head of cabbage on the lazy susan. So clearly this is a losing battle for me and I need to just give up entirely.
An acquaintance of mine is a Marie Kondo expert. I shit you not she decanted her meds into clear glass jars. I was like first of all...holy kid hazard (she doesn't have any, but still). Second...a lot of meds need to be kept in tinted jars out of light. Third...I do not want to live in a world where we decant MEDS. Sometimes it's ok for your house to look like someone actually lives there.
This seems very risky, for a lot of reasons. And also, why??
I'm going to try to upload some pictures. I wouldn't say that I'm super, duper organized, but what I do have works well for me. I got most of my baskets at Dollar Tree.

We had worked with an interior designer that told us to cover our books on our bookshelf so they match the decor. I mean, what's the point? I live here and books are part of decor. It was super obnoxious.

My MIL told me to do this in my office. I did not.

Is this where I admit that I recently bought a bunch of books based solely on the color of the cover?
I moved last year and have a pantry for the first time in my adult life. It's fantastic. For the first few months I would marvel at all the food being in one place instead of packed so tightly into several cabinets I didn't even really know what I had.
And I'm all about the bins, and not sorry for it one bit. I don't "decant," though. Fuck that.

Noooo. You're not supposed to do that, ever. Meds need labels for safety reasons.
HRH Queen Dick I, Orphan made me realize I don't actually have a pantry 😲 I have a tiny space to the right of the washer/dryer that we wedged a small bookshelf into. I am feeling less judgemental about myself now that I've realized I'm doing okay with what I have.

Also, if they don't fit your *aEsThEtIc* or whatever, just put them in a drawer or cabinet.
I'm just here to say that other people's refrigerators gross me out. Bins no bins, decant or not whatever but for the love of god clean up spills and sticky spots and throw shit away.
