I thought this was a really neat idea, AND it keeps the linen cupboard beautifully tidy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35051366215828009402012-07-07T08:48:44.174+10:002012-07-07T08:48:44.174+10:00If I open the door to my airing cupboard and peek ...If I open the door to my airing cupboard and peek in I am probably risking my neck. but no more! I am going to line the bare woodshelves and edge with lace and organise it all and finally i will add a little step we can all use as throwing stuff in got us in this mess in the first place! lol Thank you for your tips :)<br />http://flyonthewalljamyd.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-56222196209694395572007-07-21T04:36:00.000+10:002007-07-21T04:36:00.000+10:00There are times when I get so frustrated.

Strange times when I want to sort everything out, but then can't because of things in the wrong rooms that can't go in the right rooms or outside because ~ because the older chicks need a new house/run that my petshop is making for me, but he can't because he's having to mind the shop & stock because his wife is nursing her dying father in England, so chicks & ducklings live in the house with us; because I've only recently had a door put on the work/animal shed & then the builder filled it with his stuff, so my tools are still in the house; because I can't carry a wardrobe alone across the yard & push it up to my bedroom through the hole so I can finish furnishing bem's room; because the house isn't finished so I can have my bedroom as I want, my clothes, my books accessible & the garage & container cleared. But the chicks will go outside in the end; the renovation stuff will be used & the shed cleared & maybe shelves & boxes put in for next year's hatching & I can lock it when all the tools go in there; I'll grab any unsuspecting Traveller Lads to help shift the wardrobe; the house will be finished & then I'll start saving for the outhouses to be done & for electricity to them...........Killihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35480290529018967582007-06-27T15:21:00.000+10:002007-06-27T15:21:00.000+10:00hello Neisha, Susan, Lyn, Rhonda and Killi!Neisha,...hello Neisha, Susan, Lyn, Rhonda and Killi!<BR/><BR/>Neisha, did you clean out your cupboard?<BR/>Susan, I love livens and good towels too, they are such a gorgeous extravagance.<BR/>Lyn, yes, rotating it's the way I do it too. Much better than wearing out your favourite sets.<BR/>Rhonda, I remember you telling us about the cheap sheets at the linen service. I think that's excellent!<BR/>Killi, you're going through renovations now aren't you? That would make finding cupboard space a difficult thing. I hope you're coping well despite the upheaval.Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-83665221154833585032007-06-25T18:19:00.000+10:002007-06-25T18:19:00.000+10:00Hi!

Because the house isn't finished, the electrician has taken it over to store his stuff! My towels are in a lidded box by the hot press (basically the cupboard with the hot water/immersion heater in it ~ cold presses are other unheated cupboards). For bedlinen I have an ottoman in my room for all mine, a wheeled underbed drawer, currently under my bed, but which will go under Annon's for hers, then the bed linen for the other rooms will be stored in that room. It makes it easier as the beds are different sizes & shapes, so I'm not trying to work out if things are double, king, single or the 2'6" bed! Also it will keep the stuff each of my childer have chosen separate. I only have 1 child living with me at present, but we're hoping my eldest will be able to study in Ireland & my son will come to live with me again at some point.Killihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-52906072303881779132007-06-25T17:28:00.000+10:002007-06-25T17:28:00.000+10:00I spent an hour this afternoon organising my linen...I spent an hour this afternoon organising my linen cupboard as well as it doubles as my stockpile cupboard. <BR/>I bought 2 sets of sheets from the Linen service today for $5 they are perfect and made by Actil so now we have plenty to rotate.<BR/>Regards RhondaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35452921274461851642007-06-24T12:09:00.000+10:002007-06-24T12:09:00.000+10:00Wow that is super organized!Mine is stuffed full. ...Wow that is super organized!<BR/><BR/>Mine is stuffed full.

I love linens and towels! So much so that a couple of years ago I had to start asking myself 'want or need?' when I saw something I liked. It's under control now though :-). <BR/><BR/>No bread today either I'm afraid - I'm having a devil of a time finding gluten flour! Still it's fine and sunny so back into the garden I shall go. Rhubarb and garlic to be planted and, as always, weeding and mulching to be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-91722971826970955002007-06-24T09:50:00.000+10:002007-06-24T09:50:00.000+10:00Hey Rhonda, lets see if this comment comes through...Hey Rhonda, lets see if this comment comes through.
