Organize my home

I’m getting really close to being done with the “clean my room” part of this goal. I reorganized all of my dresser drawers and am working on a pile of things to take to a thrift store or donate.

I have given myself until Wednesday night to finish, and completing the reorganization of my closet is the last thing I need to do for this project. (Which mainly means taking the piles of clean clothes in there and putting them away, and organizing my shoes which are all in a jumble on the closet floor right now.) This feels very doable.

yesterday. It is actually not in bad shape now! I need to reorganize the closet and then I will be happy with that room. Then, on to other areas in the house that need it every bit as much…

I cleaned off my dresser today. Dusted it, put on the mirror, cleaned that. Made the top much nicer with a few photos and some special mementos. This really made me happy. My house has really not been feeling like a home for quite some time, and this small step felt like an important one.

It always help to have pressure to get it done, and strong hands to help. My brother and stepson came to help me for several days. My husband pitched in too. The living room is totally rearranged, as is the guest room. The dining room is much less cluttered and I unpacked all of my favorite cobalt blue glassware. Still lots of boxes to go through, but I feel so much better after making significant progress toward this goal.
