This is one of those posts I hate to do. Why? Because it's kind of totally embarrassing. But I also did some MAJOR organizing and cleaning and it was so impressive I had to post about it. Hey, ya gotta take the good with the bad I guess, just please, don't judge me! This is the before and after of our computer/craft/overflow room. Sometimes the overflow part takes precedent as you can see. It's definitely frustrating, our house isn't huge and there's not a ton of storage. Add in the fact that I'm somewhat of a hoarder and there lies the problems.
SO here are the before pics:
Pretty bad/sad huh? Half of this mess I contribute to the fact that Max and the cat go in here and wreak havoc. But when there's not junk everywhere to destroy, there's no havoc to wreak I suppose!
Here are the afters, ahhhhh, it's like a sigh of relief.
It could never be totally clutter free, I mean it is a storage room for some things(Josh's work clothes, toys Max hasn't grown into yet, my craft stuff - I have a lot.) But this is about as good as it gets! Oh, and the hoarder inside of me is proud because I threw out A LOT of stuff, and that's pretty much unheard of for me. This was a super productive weekend around our house, Max's birthday party(it's at our house!) is in less than two weeks, so we've got lots of projects/cleaning up to do!
How is your weekend? Doing anything productive??
I know exactly what you mean about this space. My dining room is currently an office and dining space. It's also storage for the business. Most things are tucked away but I have to say this week it's been on overdrive. Fabric and jewelry everywhere, photo props. I feel like I need a new system and I can't think straight, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when you have a room that functions as more than one. If it was only a craft room, or computer room. But instead all combined, plus storage. The joys of a home I guess :)
DeleteGood work on the clutter control - mind you it does have a way of creeping back. If only they built houses with enough storage...
ReplyDeleteYes it does, it always somehow ends up coming back. No matter how hard I try to keep it under control, it finds it's way back to haunt me! :) Houses with enough storage? Do those exist?!
DeleteGood job, want to come do my kitchen now? Haha.
ReplyDeleteNO - i'm all cleaned out! :)
