Got Chalk?

I have a confession to make.  I am a total dork when it comes to organizing stuff.  I get tremendous satisfaction from opening a drawer and seeing everything in its designated place exactly where it should be.  An added bonus is if I can also make the space pretty.  You know…like drawers lined with pretty paper…cute labels....a pretty box for items to be stored in or perhaps a basket.  

If it were up to me, I would have every cabinet, every closet, every space completely organized and decorated.  The only thing holding me back from wallpapering the insides of my closets and going to town on several of our spaces is that we only plan to stay in this house for another couple of years.   

So, in the meantime, as I force myself to rein it in, I try to find quick and easy ways to organize without investing major time and energy.

For my latest project, I was inspired by Pinterest and decided to spruce up our pantry a bit. 

The space is very small.  Our pantry is basically a large cabinet.  To create some organization, I popped in some small baskets and bins and proceeded to create cute labels.

Recently, I discovered chalkboard labels.  Oh my.  These things are awesome!  Every time I open the door, these cute little labels make me happy.  

See?  I told you.  Total dork.

And the best part is that my husband tolerates this obsession of mine.  He even places items in the proper place.  I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm nuts.

What about you?  What have you been organizing lately?
