So here it is before crammed with a bunch of junk. Okay, it's not all junk. There was a lot of the kids school papers and such in there, along with a set of dishes I haven't used in oh maybe 5 years. All of that stuff came out. Papers will be sorted through and put into a Banker's box for each child. That will be stored in their closets once I get to decluttering their bedrooms later in my "plan". The dishes are going to consignment shop and I think just about everything else was donated or put into it's proper place.
Here it is after. I decided for now to store all of our books in here. We're going to be building bedside stands (hopefully this spring or early summer) that will have plenty of room for both of us to have our books displayed, so I decluttered some but kept the ones we really love. Also kept extra wooden hangers, I didn't want to get rid of them because eventually we'll be moving to a bigger house and I will need them for guest's coats in the coat closet. I also put little E's stuff in here that will be displayed on shelves once he get's his own bedroom.
This project didn't take more than 20-30 minutes I think. It's amazing how we let things go and then it doesn't take very long to get it tidy and organized. Too bad weight loss wasn't the same haha.
How are your organizing projects going? I haven't done too much this week, but I am planning on spending some time today working on decluttering and organizing dressers and the armoire. Should be do-able even though I am sick. :)
