I am still here and decluttering my home. Life just didn’t go as planned. I didn’t even follow my plan from the beginning of the year. There were periods where I was just way too busy with daily life to even think of cleaning and decluttering. There was also smaller times where I did work hard to declutter. Lately, I had time. My girls are in school and my dh is working. That leave me home alone with my son. I take advantage that he still naps during the day to do daily stuff or to do a project like cleaning a special spot.
I just got rid of 12 black garbage bags and 2 boxes. It felt so good to see them go. My house is still a mess but I will conquer this clutter.
Here’s an update by room and what I did.
Bedrooms: In the last month and a half, all the bedrooms have had a make-over. New paint on ceilings and walls. New flooring too. My dad helped me. He was my handyman. He took time from his schedule and painted and changed the flooring. I moved the girls all together in one room. My son has his own room right now. Dh and I are now in the medium room. We have enough space for us in that room. The bedrooms are all just for sleeping.
I also cleaned quite a bit downstairs. Most of the too small clothes are gone. No one wanted to buy them on the for sale site for my city, that I just donated them. I also got rid of shoes and boots. They were not selling either. I really hope the clothes and footwear goes to a home with deserving children that really need them.
Dining room: I got rid of the extra fridge. Gave it also for donation. The organization check them out and give them to families in need. It feels good to help.
I’ll post some pictures next time.I download.
I am loving the results with the bedrooms. Next projects are the dining room, kitchen and living room. I haven’t redeemed my gifts from last x-mas or my b-day from my parents. They are paying for new flooring in the hallway, kitchen and living room. I may be able to pay for my living room to get new flooring too. Not sure yet. We’ll start with the flooring that my parents bought and go from there. I would love to paint the kitchen and dining room too. They so need a make-over.
Thanks for sticking around. I’ll be back sooner, promise. lol
