52 Weeks of Organizing with Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie

As many of you know I've decided to organize my home in preparation for our baby coming in May.  I love to clean and because of this challenge I have made some great progress in getting this house back into shape!


Questions for the comments:

1. Were you able to tackle one of your piles last week?

     So I tackled a few piles that were not on my list.  I have a few boxes under my coffee table that collect stuff.  Cleaned those out!  Yesterday I tackled a one day project- my dining room hutch.  I felt so accomplished getting a job done quickly.

2. Did you have to make some tough choices?

     I still have a lot to do in some areas of my house and finding new places to store things.  I am not really following my schedule as I planned, but I am making progress. 

So here are some before and after pictures:

Laundry room area- BEFORE (yikes!)

AFTER  :)

***************************************************

Guest room closet- BEFORE (ugh!)

I took it all out!

What a mess!

This room will actually become my son's new room so I have to take everything out of that closet eventually, but now it's way less and better organized.  I can just move my knitting instead of all the other stuff!

AFTER- ah, much better!

*****************************************

Dining Room Hutch- BEFORE (clutter city!)

AFTER- great improvement

OK, so I'm so happy with my progress.  I have a few more areas that I started on and haven't finished so I'll work on them this week so I can "catch up" for the 52 weeks!  Have a great day cleaning!
