A special thing about my home and decor is that I have a lot of items that friends have gifted to me.
One of those items is a gorgeous pine cabinet that sits in our dining area. For years, it has held my boys’ library books and…cat toys.
Yes, all those drawers had cat stuff in them. Why? Because until recently, our cat Gloria was the most spoiled girl in the house.
One of my husband Vince’s love languages is gift giving, and all the girlies in his life benefit from it, the cat being no exception.
It’s unclear whether Gloria thinks Vince is her boyfriend or father, but either way, he belongs to her and up until my daughter was born, she was in charge.

Now that our (very bossy and commanding) little girl is here, Gloria has settled into her rightful place in the pecking order, but the cabinets have remained full of toys that she’s honestly too chunky to play with. The girl gets winded after 2 minutes with a squeaky mouse, God bless her.
So, it was time to repurpose the cabinet and fill the drawers with items more appropriate for the dining area.
I’m now proud to share that I’ve organized our napkins, place mats, table cloths, napkin rings, and taper candles in the cabinet – such easy access and so satisfying!
These are actually the only drawers in my house that are organized.
I’m doing great.
