A clean spare bedroom. I thought it would last.
Before
After
Boy, was I wrong! After cleaning up the office/guestroom for the organizing week, I continued on with the Great Purge of '09. Every last room and closet in my entire house (minus the garage and attic) was cleaned out before our yard sale this past weekend. It felt so good to have more room in the house, but it all ended up...you guessed it, in the office.
As I said, we did have a yard sale this weekend. We sold about half of the purged items! (On a side note, we received a medical bill on Thursday and Saturday we paid it off with our earnings! God ALWAYS provides!) And therefore here is what is now remaining in the office:
LOTS of filing to be done. It is a never ending project in our house. Summer clothes to go through. And the plastic drawers are an size upgrade for the drawers already in the closet. I am needing more room for our crafting supplies and now I have it. It will just take me an hour or so to transfer from one to the other.
Good news in all of this is we have family coming into town in 2 1/2 weeks!! Once again, I have a deadline to get it all cleaned up again. Hopefully (although I am not holding my breath) it will get done. *Sigh*
Awh- it still looks better than it started out! Our "dump all room" is our bedroom. I don't think our bedroom has been truly clean since before we had kids. Right now it has luggage (I haven't used in months!) and all the winter clothes I'm trying to put away.
ReplyDelete:) Glad you had a good profit at your yard sale at least!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely looks better than it started and you got rid of tons to stuff, right? So it should probably "feel" cleaner around the whole house. Hang in there. I think we all struggle with keep our catch all spaces organized and clean. I know I do!
