I love washing the Dishes by Hand. It was a bore when I was a young girl and was literally FORCED to hand wash the dishes for our Family of Five Every.Single.Evening. I detested it then. But I love it now.
My mind flies around the world as I wipe the plates clean. I make myself complete this task each evening, and NEVER go to bed unless the sink is cleared and shiny. It is just one of my “things.” Luckily I have a family count of 3 now, or I may not be able to say any of this!
With starting a new job at Home, and Home Educating, my Countertops have begun to look like I may be the Star of the next episode of “Hoarders.” I HATE a crowded kitchen, but it has just gotten away from me, considering we do much of the schooling in the kitchen, etc. But Enough is Enough. I have reached my limit, and my sink and Counters are bearing witness to such.
So today, I began.
My sink area and countertops surrounding it are clear, clean,
and only include items which inspire me.
I love the Print in the alcove above my sink, but one day there will be
a chippy, mirrored old antique window hanging there,
complete with Balloon Curtains.
I may even add another shelf to this current shelf.
But for today, this works.
Another Project for the Books in my ’40 Projects in 40 Days’ arena.
