Dirty little secret

Ok, now that I've got you all excited with that title...
here's the thing...
my dirty little secret...
---is all cleaned up!!!
I can't show you the "before" pictures-
-because I didn't actually take any-
and because that would just be really gross...
but, take a minute to imagine the cupboard UNDER the SINK...and picture it in all it's disgusting glory...
then let me tell you - that mine was worse!
                        
Five years worth of old glass vases, various cleaners and solvents, detergents and grime removers...
-that have never been used to clean under the sink, mind you!
...add to that, the gunk on the floor under the garbage can...
...which was so...mottled...brown...thick...gooey...OK,That's Enough!  STOP!

I was inspired by another blogger to make a change that didn't cost much... and didn't take a huge effort, so this felt good.
(Actually, it didn't cost anything except elbow grease and my elbows were feeling all lubed up!!!squirt, squirt!  want some?)


Now I feel human again...
not like some fiendish old miser hoarding foggy old bottles of questionable liquid,
while waiting for the layers on the floor to get thick enough so it could be packaged into chewing gum!  Mmmmm - imagine the flavour!!!

This is better...shiny, white floor, organized cleaners, and notice the little storage box that I turned on it's side to make a nifty little shelf...oooo...it's good to be clean!  There's no more speckles on the wall from flying potato peels either!

It's your turn!
Find a quick, easy, cheap, fix-it-up, I've-been-meaning-to-do-it-forever project that you can tell us about.  I can't wait to see what you come up with...organize your shoes, sew a curtain, clean your fridge...whatever...DO IT, then tell us about it. 
It will make you feel good, I promise!!!

Oh and by the way, never accept chewing gum from me...you never know where I might have gotten it from!!
Ewwww!
