I don’t know what has gotten into me today, maybe this is what nesting is all about and since I still don’t have a guest room/closet/nursery to organize and decorate I’m just taking it out on other parts of the house, but I spent way too many hours reorganizing the bookshelves in our kitchen just to put everything back the way it was when I started.  I was flipping through this month’s Elle Decor and was inspired by the kitchen pictured above.  It may be difficult to tell, but the cabinet to the left of the fridges has stacks and stacks of cookbooks piled high in it.  We have a cabinet similar to that one that is currently purposed as a dish hutch, but, upon seeing this picture, I thought it might be better used as a cookbook hutch.  So I removed all of our dishes and glassware from it, rearranged the shelves so they were all perfect book height, and moved all of our books from the open bookshelves into the hutch.  Then I arranged all of our dishes on the open bookshelves, only to find that the shelves are *just* too shallow to hold our dinner plates, which really bothered me.  So back everything went to its original spot.

I really can’t explain why I just wasted the afternoon doing that.  Have I gone crazy?
