I live in a house divided. Not in the usual Purdue vs IU way. No, I live in a house in which (gulp, deep breath, sigh…) the idea that ALL areas should be well-organized, clean, and…well….pretty<\/em>…isn’t widely accepted. I mean, can you even believe\u00a0<\/i>that?<\/p>\n

Of course I notice these areas of non-compliance to the “Pretty Rule,” whether it be in the garage where I organize the workbench but within\u00a0a matter of minutes\u00a0<\/del> a few days it is piled halfway up the wall, or the kids’ cubbies in the mudroom, that overnight become stuffed full of dirty laundry, toys, school papers, candy wrappers, and a ridiculous number of pencils (the new, guiltless birthday-or-holiday-or-any-other-fathomable-event classroom giveaway). \u00a0I very recently had a literal LOL moment, though….<\/p>\n

I was growing tired of the accessories I had displayed in our linen closet (yes, you read that correctly…I accessorize closets; in my defense, the linen closet of which I am speaking is a DOORLESS closet in our master bath). So, on a mission to the basement storage room where I keep a little stash of “resting\/retired” decor, I took note (and a pic) of an area that I have absolutely no say in…primarily because I don’t have a clue what any of it does or means! See the following:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I mean, I’m all for safety (note the fire extinguisher, as I’m sure it would come in handy if that crazy mess of cords spontaneously combusts someday). \u00a0But I dare you to argue that my closets aren’t more user-friendly, and…well…pretty!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
