Uh-oh. I disappeared!
My in-laws were coming to visit, and that always brings on some anxiety for me. I wanted my home to be clean and organized for their visit...and we did it! This place was cleaner than it had been in awhile. Ahhhhhh.
In Japan we had no out of sight storage areas at all, and 500 square feet for 2 adults and a baby. Our place was always a disaster! Now we have plenty of space, but we don't have enough shelves, and no budget to buy any. Having space makes such a difference though! Please enjoy my tidy living room...
