Clearly it’s not my fault…

Ever wonder where this organizing junkie gets her crazy out of control over the top container obsession from?

Meet my mother’s bathroom closet:

Is it all making sense to you now?

    This is so funny, my mother is not like this at all – crammed chaos as far as the eye can see… but in response and in my great rebellion (!) my cupboards do indeed look like this.

    It looks like heaven!

    Indeed. The best obsessions are inherited. ;)

    Oh My, This is something I’m going to pass down to my kids? Cool maybe by then they can keep there own homes clutter free. LOL

    That would drive me crazy though since the baskets are not all matching. I would have to have all identical baskets to keep myself sane :)

    You mean eventually our kids could inherit organizing tendencies??? Yay!!!

    It’s all crystal clear:-) Hee, hee, hee.

    I love that they are all white but in my obsessive little mind they need to be the same…I know they have to fit but I want that magazine look!

    It looks like my closet but my oldest daughter didn’t get the organizing bug from me. My daughter got it big time and is very particular about how she stores things! Go figure!

    Oh my goodness, that is FUN-NY!

    Ah ah ah……..I am laughing out loud right now! That is tooo funny sista! There really is no possibility of you recovering — what if it gets worse? What if there isn’t ever a cure…..EVER…….

    It makes sense, but it’s still unnerving.

    Not because of you, but because I can identify the origins of some of those containers and tell you where they are in my own house!

    *SWOOOOOOON* I <3 your mom! If only I were so lucky!

    One day my new bathrooms will be that organized! (I just moved into a new home and as usual, it’s an experiment to figure out what to do in the new place.)

    That is my dream!

    So you inherited from your mother? My mother inherits from me. I’m constantly buying her organizing stuff for Christmas!

    She’s constantly bringing over stuff from her house that she wants to get rid of, “just in case you need it.”

    I think what she means is, “So you can take it to Goodwill so I don’t have to.”

    haha same here…. I just found out there’s a store called… The Container Store. I know, apparently I’ve been living under a rock because I never knew this… I haven’t been to the store yet, it’s probably a good thing. I might have a stroke. :)

  38. Posted November 15, 2008 at 6:55 am | Permalink

    Now that’s funny! :-)

  39. Posted November 15, 2008 at 4:11 pm | Permalink

    Oh I am so impressed! It makes me want to run out and buy containers. I’m an organization Flunkie though!

    Wow! That is funny! It is not bad. At least you got something useful from your mom. My mom is a worrier, what am I? Yep! I wish I got the organizing gene.
