Declutter my home

I finally was able to find a set of flat files (on CraigsList) to store all my paper and mat board, and finished work on paper. Made to 160 mile round trip to pick them up a couple of weeks ago. That, of course, was only the start of the “adventure.”

I then made a base out of 2×6’s and 4×4’s (all wood from other projects) and attached some massive 5” wheels (also reused from another project) to the corners of the base to make the files mobile. They weigh a ton without anything in them. It felt great to be able to build the base without having to buy anything! Hope to complete the transfer of papers/mat to the files this week so I can move the day bed from that room and move the office in there away from the general noise of the house. I am making progress—that’s the important thing.

Wa-HOOOOOO!! Finished the closet yesterday. It felt great. I sorted out the clothes I would repurpose as rags and the ones I would give away to the thrift store and to friends. All the winter clothes are on their shelves and the summer things are stored away. I even sorted the clothes in the closet by color families.

Now, on to the home office in my bedroom!

I found the time today to declutter a couple of shelves in my bedroom closet—more to come!

I don’t know how long that will take, but I do have a plan of attack. I’m starting from the top floor down (my bedroom is a loft). My closet is the first target and I am hoping to get started this upcoming weekend. I am still a little burned out from the frenzy of work, home, Xmas, and fur children!
