Hi Honeys,
How are you today? A rainy day here all day today so no laundry being pegged outside unfortunately but laundry has to be done none the less, so not for the first time I've been so grateful that we bought the couldn't-be-without-it-now pulley 😊
Other than laundry, our furbaby Jade and I spent some time upstairs de-cluttering and tidying and also had some fun in the kitchen on a mini organising project. Well, I say we, Jade keeps me company and is in charge of smiles and bringing me one of her toys to play when I'm busy cleaning or dusting or whatever else I'm doing 😊
On Monday we did have a great pegging-out-laundry kinda day and peg out laundry we did ☼ We were also eagerly awaiting a delivery from my happy place... Ikea 😍 Now we already knew we could order large items and have them delivered (as we did when we partially re-modelled our kitchen by buying and installing a new worktop and storage unit along one wall) but I recently discovered that it's now possible to order smaller items too!
I can't even tell you how excited this made me honeys, ridiculously excited 😄
I love to visit Ikea, love it! Unfortunately we don't own a car and it's quite some distance from our home so we don't get to visit very often. Then there is my limited mobility to be factored in now too.
Last time we visited I was in pain for days afterwards so the very idea I can just pop online and have items for our organising projects delivered is beyond wonderful 😄
I decided I'd test the delivery waters so to speak by ordering a few items (I'll write a post sharing my mini haul soon honeys, promise.) Included in that order were a few items I'd hoped would improve the storage we'd previously set up at the side of our kitchen cabinet.
Do you remember my dismay at the discontinuation of the Bygel range at Ikea? Ikea replaced Bygel with a new line called Sunnersta and as it turns out, it's incredibly useful. We even replaced the Bygel rail in the bathroom with a Sunnerta rail (and containers.)
So, for this mini organising project, we ordered a Sunnersta rail, a packet of Sunnerta S hooks and a Sunnersta container.
First let's take a quick look at the area to be worked on honeys. As you can see the rail and baskets from the Algot range are still helping us keep our anti-bacterial surface wipes, tea towels and micro-fibre dusters in order. This takes us too the side of the cabinet itself...
The side of the cabinet had a single hook which had a hanging pocket organiser you might remember from a past post on mail sorting? A system we're still using happily. We loved it so much we bought another of the pocket organisers (called Pysslingar) and it's been living on a hook at the end of this cabinet ever since.
I went looking for another of these hanging pocket organisers while setting up my order for a potential organising project upstairs but unfortunately I can't find it listed on the Ikea website anymore. I'm wondering if it's been dis-continued? I hope not. The two we have are still going strong and have been incredibly useful.
So, the area I wanted to work on was already working well honeys. The hanging pockets were a safe home for my glass baking scales and some other bits but I thought it could work better.
This is where the items from the Sunnersta range come in...
As you can see, it's not a huge difference but I'm loving it!
The Sunnersta rail is 60cm (24 inches) in length, exactly the right size for the cabinet. Once it was fitted (by Hubby, thank you sweetheart x) I added the container and two of the Sunnersta hooks...
The container is now home for my silicone spatulas, pastry brush etc while one of the hooks is now home to a set of measuring spoons. The second hook is of course supporting the Pysslingar pockets.
The pockets have also been re-organised too. The top pocket has two Jane Asher cake recipe books while the middle pocket has the glass scales and the bottom pocket has assorted other recipes I either really like or want to try.
This is the side of the kitchen I use when I'm baking so while it isn't a huge difference, this organising tweak has made baking easier by putting items like my measuring spoons and spatulas all within reach and it feels better, you know?
Have you made any organising tweaks recently honeys? Have you tried Ikea's home delivery? I'm probably the last person to find out about it 😄 Oh well, now that I have found out, it'll make my life so much easier, no more projects held back because we can't get to the store and they delivered exactly when they said they would too. Great job Ikea, you rock ☆
I hope you're having a fabulous week dear ones, thank you so much for visiting, till next time, smile lots and hug even more x
