Most of you know that my husband deployed a few years ago and will be gone well into next year. SO I decided about the second I learned of the deployment that my daughter and I would move back in with my parents. So a journey to pack and store and organize and pack some more ensued.
So here we are months later. All of my stuff is unpacked. And I have moved myself into a room that was originally my parents office/craft room. It has not been used as a bedroom is about 8 years. Now I not only had to make this my bedroom and my office and my craft room, I had to share it with my parents as there office and craft room. I wish I had pictures of where this room really started. But I don't. (It would be too horrible to share anyway.)
But I cleaned it out. I threw stuff away (with my parents' permission of course). I painted. I built. I moved around. I unpacked. And I bought containers. And the room looked like this...
And I just couldn't stand it. These pictures don't really do it justice either. But I showed you some of it (I just can't own up to the rest of the room). So I organized. I rearranged a little. I finished the building projects. I filed away paper work. And I am now happy with my room. I can live here for the next year. I promise I can. And I promise I will keep it as clean as I can, so that the room can look like this most of the time...
You can see the separate areas of the room: where I sleep, where I scrapbook, where I work, and where my TV is. Much better, right?
Can I keep it up? Do you believe in me?
And don't forget to check out Morgan as she goes through a much longer and larger journey to organization and purging.
