The Saturday Six

 

You all know how much a love a good color-coded ANYTHING, right? well, my love for all things color-coded, organized, and pretty inspired this week's Saturday Six! Enjoy!

One.

I had to laugh at the beginning of this post, because I have had the EXACT conversation she talks about regarding the breaker box! Why are breaker boxes such a graveyard of confusion and bad handwriting? I feel like it's almost required for them to be a mess. But this lady created a color-coded system to make it easy to see which one controls which things in the house. It's so pretty. And even though most people don't hang out looking at their breaker boxes on the regular, it's still nice to know it can be pretty, right?

Earlier this week, I made the Dashing Dish recipe for roasted vegetables, and I had to take a picture of it, because it was SO PRETTY with all the veggies lined up in nice, neat, color-coded rows. Sure, it all got mingled on the plate, but organized food in presentation makes me exceedingly happy. Also...it tasted SO good and kept us in business for veggies for about three meals!

I absolutely organize my clothes in color order in my closet. (You can read some ideas on that here.) It makes it so much easier for me to find the things I'm looking for when I'm hunting for a certain color. I'm also working on simplifying the NUMBER of colors in my closet, so hopefully this is about to get even easier! Also, I really miss the days when Goodwill put clothes in color order. I could shop SO MUCH FASTER when they were in color order, because I was almost always looking for something very specific when I went!

Who doesn't love a color-coded filing system? Sure, it's in the drawer, and you don't see it every moment of every day. But it's SO PRETTY when you do need to get in and find something! Here's an idea for that!

Years ago, I made an orange gift basket for a friend of ours on her birthday. She LOVES orange more than anyone I've ever met, so it was a fun gift to make. Color-coded gift baskets for the win! Some of them you can make super inexpensively, but it shows your recipient you know him or her well enough to know a favorite color! Here are some ideas.

This is the color-coding list I use for my Bible highlighting. I don't highlight every single verse, but I do mark things that fall into these categories. I printed this out, laminated it, and I keep it inside my Bible for reference. It has worked well for me! (I use colored pencils for marking.)
