You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
What comes to mind when you hear that word? As I set here typing this post, I am sitting in the quiet of our home. The only noise, the ticking of our clock. That used to annoy me, but now it reminds me of just how quiet it is. It’s peaceful, calming, and refreshing. But…

It’s hard to believe that a week ago today, was our last day at our house. A place where so much laughter occurred, yet many tears shed. Though we are still waiting for our house to be rented, we know that God’s perfect timing will be perfect. Because we moved most of our big stuff…
The other day I was eating at a Chinese restaurant. I realized I hadn’t been to one in over a year. Not that I don’t like Chinese – we just don’t eat out very often. Some friends invited us to join them for dinner and the company, more than anything, was what we looked forward to….

When some people hear the word “organizing,” their heart starts to race, their palms get sweaty, and they start to panic. They think “ah, I NEED to organize – my house is a disaster!” The same is said for purging. Even the thought of going through “stuff” creates feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety. What if you…

That is awesome that you even labeled a chair – well, now you know where it is and no one can discreetly steal it! Love it and thanks for sharing!
This is genius. Thanks for the great tip! I took the advice and just silver sharpied my spices. Woot! Oh my goodness, this will save time and make it easy for everyone to see what they want. Great tip!!
Thank you! I am glad that you have been able to put this to use – it has made a HUGE difference in our home and it sounds like yours too 🙂
I really want to share how I do my spices, but it's sort of hard to explain. I'll give it a shot, and if you like the idea, I'll forward pix.
We took some trim 1/2"x2" and cut it to just under the width of a cabinet door. My sweetheart mounted them on the door with 1/2"x1/2" brackets. About an inch above the ends of each mounted piece of trim, he put a 2" metal bracket. Then we strung strong wire through the holes on the brackets, making a line between the two brackets just under an inch from the top of each piece of wood. That made a little retainer to hold the little plastic containers of spices–in alphabetical order. Make sense? I keep any extra amounts of each spice in the back of a bottom drawer, where nothing else ever goes. Works for us!
Hi Mary :). I would LOVE to see pictures of this! Even detailed pics of the basics to the finished product? I see a guest post coming soon ;)???? This sounds like a GREAT idea and a DIY project, which makes this even better! Let me know your thoughts 🙂
My Awesome Wonderful and I are traveling, and I'm just catching up with my posts. When we get back home, I'll do this very thing. Many who have seen this project have replicated it. So, yes, I'd love to help your other friends.
Awesome! Thank you Mary 🙂
