(1) MUDROOM SHELVES -- ORDERED
We finally settled on the shelves for the mudroom!!!
I ordered 2 of these rubbermaid configuration closet kits to use as a full mudroom on our 8 foot wall near our entry way door.It's was nice that it took a while to decide to go with this because when I finally went to order it, it was on sale!!!!
And on top of that, there will be enough spare pieces left over to start organizing the shelving above our "new" (free from MSU surplus and newly painted) desks.
(2) CARPET CLEANER -- DONE
We also got a carpet cleaner. It feels so good to have cleaned our carpets and even some furniture.
We got the top rated residential model according to reviews of purchasers, the Hoover Steam Vac with Clean Surge model F5914-900.
(Consumer reports unfortunately does not have any ratings on carpet cleaners at this time. Their old reports indicated that residential models were definitely inferior to professional models, but something is better than nothing!)
And this too was on super sale!!
Even though these are "steam" vacs, no residential carpet cleaners actually use steam. And unfortunately, none of the "real" steam cleaners have extractors so you have to mop up the wetness if you use them on carpet.
I hope that when I get the top rated home steam cleaner, I can use it on the carpet, and then suck up the steam and dirt with the carpet cleaner.
PANTRY -- IN PROCESS
DRY GOODS DONE. We've got almost all of our dry goods into the Anchor Hocking Montana glass jars now! We've reorganized and added some shelves in the kitchen. It's not perfect, but I it's so much better.
REFRIGERATOR PARTIALLY DONE. I've got a couple of these Rubbermaid "slide 'n stack" baskets in the fridge now and I need a few more. I *love* them!! It's created so much more space!!

One basket holds the snack sized yogurts. Another basket holds the sandwich condiments and sandwich cheeses. I want another one for jellys, jams, cream cheese; another for dairy; and another for snacks.
CANNED GOOD HOLDERS -- Finalizing research and then need to order.
I'm still comparing Neuhome's 3 tier back-loading drop-down can rack and FIFO's front loading rotating can rack.
PRODUCE KEEPERS -- Assessing needs and conducting research.
I'm still comparing Rubbermaid's produce savers, Tupperware's Fridgesmart containers, and Progressive's produce keeper.
PULL OUT DRAWERS -- Assessing needs and conducting research.
I still need to measure kitchen cabinet items and determine a good configuration. Then I can compare storage volume and prices for the wood pull out drawers, wire sliding racks, and slide 'n stack baskets. All are available at the local big box hardware stores.

It's been some time since you made this post. I noticed that you bought the Hoover SteamVac, which continue to be a top selling and highly rated carpet cleaner machine to this day. How's it working out for you?
