After being a recent divorcee, one of my guy friends asked if I could use a roommate to help pay for the expense of an apartment I couldn't afford on my own. We're good friends but we don't need to be in each other's business, plus he's just as neat and tidy (if not more) than myself. I guess my only qualm would be that he leaves my dishes and silverware in his room. hahaha... It's always important to lay down some ground rules but make sure to pick your battles. Like I'll do his dishes if I'm already doing mine, and vice versa. And never leave the coffee pot empty in the morning.

I really love the method cleaners for cleaning fridges. My fridge ended up smelling like pear/ginger instead of gross cleaner smell. I love the layout of your spaces by the way :)

I guess I better get busy clearing out those old magazines, that I swear I'll want to look at 10 years from now. I do regret getting rid of all those Domino magazines :/ The fact they canceled that magazine, still boggles my mind....

Holy crap!!! I had the same problem with the dog hair under the crisper drawer. Mind boggling to me, so glad to know I wasn't the only one.

Yesterday was a lot of hard work but it paid off. I have a perfectly clean fridge, my boyfriend recently redid my pantry and cabinets, and the stove is always sparkling (since crusted on stuff irritates me to no end), so all in all a perfectly happy kitchen space. Now to grow my own herbs in the window box and I'm all set.
