Well, I just spent two hours screwing. I think it's time for a shower!

Well, I just spent two hours screwing.  I think it's time for a shower!

You know what's funny?  When I moved into this house I had 3 cabinets with double doors that wouldn't stay shut so I put a knife through the handles of one, a long straw through the handles of another, and a drum stick through the handles of the another to keep them shut.  Two were up really high and one was down really low so I never bothered using them.

Since I've been on this huge "ORGANIZE ALL THE THINGS!  MAXIMIZE ALL THE SPACES!" kick I've been throwing in little repairs here and there.  So I thought "Maybe it's time to see about buying those little magnet-y things that hold your cabinets shut."  Well I didn't buy any, but I started cleaning out those cabinets in preparation.

Guess what I found in the first one I cleaned?  A little box with enough magnet-y things to fix all the cabinets.  AND, 36 cents.  And some extra screws.  JACKPOT!  I guess whoever was working on the kitchen when I bought the house had bought the little thingies, but never installed them.  SO I JUST DID.  BOOSH!

Now my cabinets are staying shut without the help of random things.  I must say that I feel pretty accomplished.  😃
