A really awful cupboard

Tonight I finished one of my grossest projects yet. It started last Thursday when the hubby came home and began looking for a specific baking sheet. I won't go into the conversation that followed when he couldn't find it. Now, there are many weird-looking unprofessional cupboards that were added to our house around the 1920s (we can tell by the hinges that resemble butterflies). I had intended to save cleaning this cupboard until much later, but as more and more items came out onto the floor, the couch and a chair, it appeared that the time had arrived. This particular cupboard is 14" wide X 4 feet high and about 6 feet deep. It has 3 shelves that travel the entire 6 feet. As you can imagine, it is difficult to reach things further back than my arm is long. Over the past couple of decades, a few things were pushed out of reach - these things were quite dusty and some housed dead bugs or better yet, bug parts. I was pleased that there was no evidence of mice or what they leave behind. It seemed like it would be just the spot for a cozy little rodent nest - back where no one can reach. Anyway, 2 large garbage bags later, it is cleared out and things are about as accessible as they can be. Another ta-da!
The bedroom clothes closet project was still going on when the gross cupboard task sort of started itself. I do have a photo of some of the things that were uncovered in my closet last weekend---

Of course the dog is just the prop for the beanie with the propeller on top that can't be seen. I wish that there had been time to photograph that early morning purse purging session before they went in the garbage. But here is the duck with the striped shorts that I mentioned in my last post and 4 pairs of shoes which I will never wear again - oh and the fashionable silver clutch purse. It may be hard to tell that the shoes right behind the purse are a matching shade of silver. I wore them twice, both around 1992 - they were monstrously uncomfortable. This little collection is in the ever-growing pile that will be donated. I am thinking that the first mass-donation will need to be done soon - while they will still fit in the trunk of my car.
