Following I’m an Organizing Junkie’s roundup - I present work done on my bedroom! Didn’t feel like much until I started writing it down. My post also served as a plan (I started writing what I did about the middle of the month, then continued writing down what I wanted to do and working off the list.)

My Closet:

  • put summer and spring clothes on most accessible shelves
  • donated clothes I won’t wear any more (even found a few maternity items - thought I got rid of that stuff 2 years ago - egads!)
  • Stored my wedding dress under the bed until I can figure out what I want to do with it. (Hubby didn’t like the idea of a wedding dress quilt. PFFBBBBBT!) This made room for a new dress that I hope to make.
  • Donated a baby gift I never got to give.

Dresser

  • Went through my drawer in the dresser (organized the boxes for jewelry that I wanted to keep, left room for my jewelry box).
  • Ordered tie hangers for my necklaces to put in my closet (and my daughter’s). (I never think to look in the jewelry draw unless I have a visual reminder. My necklaces will be out of the way and a reminder of my other “treasures”.)

Nightstand

  • Convinced hubby to take “math club” papers and catalog back to work. They can use it, he won’t need it.
  • Donated clothes stashed there.

To do

  • necklaces (new hanger solution on it’s way)
  • nightstand - Hubby go through drawer? (rest is done)
  • donate old bedspread

I also continued in my kitchen/dining room.

  • moved the fire extinguisher to a place I can easily get it if needed
  • Ordered a replacement for my broken and jageddy finances box. Nice new canvas holder.
  • Took down my icky old white board on the wall and replaced it with another hanging paper organizer and an easier to clean white board on the fridge.
  • Glued magnets to clothes pins for holding the kiddo papers. Each kiddo gets one clothes pin. And the space is now limited to what can be put on the fridge! (I can SEE my fridge! I knew it was there, but it was always camouflaged under the papers.) Once a month I’ll scan or photograph the papers and store them in my Zenfolio account so the grandparents can see.
  • Magnet Clothes Pin for kiddo papers
  • Chair recovering project postponed until summer. Can’t just recover chairs. Need to re-varnish chairs and table too. Argh. But will do it right.

To Do:

  • Finances box/organizer (on it’s way)
