Project: Living Room. Go.


Starting with the living room today. This room shouldn't be too bad. This and the kitchen have already been decluttered quite a bit. I'm taking before pics now-note that the living room IS a mess, because I haven't cleaned yet today, but try to look beyond that. :P I'll post before and after shots once I'm done.

My method right now is to take everything I definitely don't want and put it in one plastic bag, take everything I do want and put it in another, and put things I can't decide on in the last bag. Things I want get put away, things I'm not sure about go into my closet so I can mull it over.

K, enough procrastination, I'm off!

Wow, been awhile.



Mieke is now 15 months old. Time flies. My pretty little girlie :)

We're moving cross country in a year now. As part of that, I've been decluttering and packing stuff we don't need at the moment (and trying to take a wee bit of that stuff with us next month when we go visit). But, I have far to go.

I've come back to this blog to help motivate my butt and finish the decluttering. I'll be posting before and after pics. I also want to organize a bit better, get my fabric sewn up, get my yarn knit, and deep clean each room. One step at a time though-so I'm starting with decluttering each room, one at a time, and then deep cleaning each room.

We're going to be moving our whole 3 bedroom townhouse in a 6x12 trailer (or possibly a slightly large moving van, as I'm leaning towards getting a station wagon instead of an SUV now. Darn you gas prices!). This means we need to get rid of a LOT of stuff. Books and DVDs/CDs can be mailed cheaply (ty media mail), but beyond that...yeah, lots of stuff to get rid of. I'm selling the kitchen table and getting an outdoor, folding table and chairs from Ikea. They won't take up much room and have the benefit of being used outdoor once we're in a house. In someplace that doesn't rain 467 days a year. I'm getting rid of my desk, most likely, our bedroom furniture, and the girls bedroom furniture. All of this stuff is junk and needs to be replaced anyway. But, that still leaves my giant entertainment center, the couch, my cedar chest, a toybox, and Eriq/Kai's big bunk beds. Oh and another small dresser that's Mieke's. Box space will be at a premium!
