I Can’t Believe I Am Posting This

For some time now I have been neglecting organizing the bedroom. Hope’s toys were everywhere, books were taking over every space, and it was becoming a catch all for homeless items. I finally decided I had to do more than “think” about getting that mess under control.

See why I can’t believe I am posting this for all to see? (Okay, so it is only for the ten or so people that actually read my blog, but still.) Anyway, I wasn’t sure how I should go about tackling this project. Should I just do one area at a time, spend 15 minutes a day, or any of the various other methods of digging yourself out of a mess? I decided just to jump in and do it. I pulled everything out of the room (you should have seen the living room and kitchen!) then I wiped down walls, vacuumed, scrubbed, and moved furniture. Of course then it was time to go through all those “valuables”. Oh, my. THAT took forever. But it turned out great! Six bags of trash, four bags for Goodwill, and two days later it looks like this:

Now, on to the rest of the house!
