Organizing 101/ July - Bathrooms

[PrincessNancy96]

I've delicate washed dry cleaning curtains before and let them hang dry.. but they were the valance type..so if there was a difference we didn't notice..
That's awful!!! I guess that is why most of us don't worry about cleaning the curtains too often! (It ends up costing us more money!)

Sorry NEE.. I hate when that happens...
I have a great valance that I can toss in the wash and the dry now w/ no problems.. I'd tell you what kind but I have no idea.. my mom bought them for my birthday.. Yep, she bought me a bathroom curtain for my birthday! She's always thinking! (NOT!)

OMG...... sorry.....can't breathe......

See what happens when you buy fancy shmancy things.

OH and to wash the plastic shower curtain throw it in the tub with some Mr. clean and swish away.

I am proud to say, I just cleaned my linen closet, even my DH noticed how tidy it was!

See what happens when you buy fancy shmancy things.

For me anyway it's the opposite - see what happens when you buy cheap crap. Can't withstand the terrors of a washing machine.

I spend like a crazy woman on scrapbooking and Disney trips but on most other things I'm a cheapskate. We didn't have curtains at our old apartment and then we moved in to this house with 22 windows. I don't think I paid more than $10 for curtains except for the Mickey ones I bought for my Disney room.

I have owned 3 houses in my lifetime and I have yet to buy curtains at all. Our first house had huge windows so the previous owners left them. The next 2 houses came with mini blinds so we left it at that. Of course I never paint or decorate until we are getting ready to sell it.

If I would stop reading the DIS boards, my house would be so much cleaner.

I certainly feel like I got a lot done today. Just a few things to finish before bed.

1. Laundry - put away load from yesterday and do a load of whites. Done
2. Finish cleaning scrap room - it looks like a bomb hit it - I've been working on it since last night. It's not done, but it's 100% better. I still have 3 boxes on the side of the room to find a home for. I always seem to leave it at this same point.
3. Start cleaning upstairs bathroom. Nope - that will be next week.
4. Dishes Done
5. Get gas Done
6. Return stuff to Target, Michael's, AC Moore (and not buy anything in the latter 2!) Done, and I was good!
7. Buy new curtains. Done and hung!
8. BJ's/groceries (unless DH volunteers to do this weekend) Done
9. Finish Pooh paper bag books. Done
10. Start Mickey paper bag books.Not yet. That is next Tuesday's project.
11. Order pix from Shutterfly for July crop.That's what I'm going to do before bed.
