While doing TONS of this...
(don't look to close) HA!
and this......
and trying to get this house back in order and kids back on schedule i've decided that i need to seriously buckle down on some organization around here! I have tried and it has been proven very difficult due to the remodel. One room will get "somewhat" done and then we have to move things around to start another project. I have to admit...the kids rooms have stayed the most organized through most of this. BUT they still need some attention. Last night i sat down with a list of what i need to do to actually get this done. Even with remodeling going on. EVEN with rooms that are not done yet and look totally hideous! :P Believe me....we still have some nasty wallpaper to be removed! It is driving me CRAZY!! I want it gone so bad...but i know this remodel is going to take time. So here is my thoughts...i know i can't organize this disaster in 1 day...not even 1 week...probably not even 1 month. But if i tackle 1 organizational issue per week no matter how small i may be able to do this. And also if i have a week to address each organizational issue...i have alittle wiggle room for my "sewing/crafts/photography". :) Here is my list so far.....
Week 1 :
I'm going to start with the kids. Their rooms are painted and half way organized and i just think that it would be a good place to start. Plus it doesn't hurt that their rooms are 2 of my favorite rooms in the house. AND maybe it will inspire me to finish up some lingering projects for their rooms.
Week 2:
Crafts...i have tons of craft "stuff" (sewing, painting...) i have a future room for all that too but it is going to be dead last in the remodel. That being said...it does need to be atleast gone through and organized so that i will know what i have.
Week 3:
Photographs...this is my passion/hobby. I have albums and pictures EVERYWHERE. Boxes of Picture frames yet to be displayed cause i haven't had any painted walls to hang them up. Now that i have some painted walls...i can start to hang some of the beautiful portraits of my babies and family. :)
Week 4:
Books, CD's & DVD's....My hubby has more books than we have room for right now. And he isn't going to part with any of them. I have several books of my own too. We have a reading/library area now so i need to get that in order. CD's ...i have some of those and the hubby has more! Mine are going to go in a sleek case so that i can discard all the plastic cd cases. We own way to many dvd's ...maybe i can sell some of those?
Week 5:
Laundry Room...another last on the remodel list but it still needs a good scrubbing and some organization.
Week 6:
Personal Information, Finances, Bill Paying system, Receipts, Files and Mail....Enough said...this is a disaster area. Not looking forward to that week...HAHA!
Week 7: Master Bedroom and Bathroom
Week 8: Master Closet
Week 9: Guest Bathroom and Linen Closet
Week 10: Office area
Week 11: Livingroom / Entryway
Week 12: Attic
Week 13: Kitchen/ Dinning room
Week 14: Garage
Ok that is the list so far. LONG weeks ahead but i think i can do it. I have to or i'll go crazy. ;P
I know during this remodel and kids and well life...things will change and i may be changing up the weeks. But fingers crossed i will get some peace of mind. Are you an organizational diva? Anybody out there have any great tips? Please share!
