31 days to an organized.... what??

As a newly married woman - YIKES! - I'm trying to get my... I mean, our... home organized because, if you know me at all, organization and cleanliness isn't my... *thing*. However, the man I married is very OCD and clean so it seems that I must concede my former ways & try harder.

So I've stalked a bunch of pins on pintrest and found *lots* of organizational tips to help me organize my home. My problem areas are: clutter, the kitchen, laundry room (nonexistent), pantry, and master bathroom. Oh and the linen closet and 3rd bedroom...

Clutter: I like pretty things that have no real meaning or purpose. Charlie doesn't. This might be a problem. :/

Kitchen: while I have a lot of counter space, I don't have a lot of drawer space. Added to this, I'm short, so anything on the top shelf I can't reach without the help of a step stool, which I keep in my kitchen. I have a lot of appliances and new dishes coming in (registry's are so cool!), so I've got to find a place for those that is easily accessible to me, (read: easy for a short one to get to).

Laundry Room: my laundry room is basically a closet with a standing washer & dryer combo... there is little space on either side for drawers or anything that can be used for storage. I have a teeny tiny shelf that holds detergent & fabric softener, but its not big enough to hold all of it.

Pantry: My pantry is a 3 shelf cabinet in the kitchen (oh how I long for a walk-in pantry...) that is crowded with junk & crap. I tried to organize it this summer but I need containers to keep things... well... contained.

Master Bathroom: also small with very little storage space.. I've got to figure out how to maximize the small space to the best of my ability. And keep things organized and neat so Charlie doesn't have a small heart attack every time he goes in there.

Linen Closet: This one is fairly okay, but needs some containers and structure.

3rd bedroom: yikes. That's all that I can say. This one needs a tremendous amount of work & complete restructure. I want to turn it into my 3rd bedroom/craft room because I have a lot of crafts (fabrics, scrapbook supplies, etc.), so that will be a project eventually.

So I am embarking on a 31 day journey, which should take me through February and into March. However, I suspect that I won't be able to do an organizational restructure each day, so it may take a little bit longer than 31 days...

I've borrowed alot of my ideas from Delightful Order and Imperfect Homemaking.

This was my first attempt - my medicine cabinet. Previously, I had all of my medicine tossed in a box and shoved in the cabinet. So I bought some containers, made some labels and... I'm pretty pleased with it...

I like the green. On the left, there is a box for my allergy medicine, headache medicine, cough meds etc. On the bottom is prescriptions. In the 3 tiered drawer is bandaids, my thermometer, and creams and such (like hydrocortisone).

So... here we go!
