As I mentioned before I’m trying to de-clutter and downsize in the amount of stuff we have around our house. It’s a long and sometimes slow project. I don’t exactly have all day to myself anymore to sort through things and take them to the trash when I need too. So therefore each afternoon, when Marley is down for her nap I try to get a project or two done around the house. I’ve made a plan to work from one room to the next and only move on once that room is complete.
Yesterday, I started in our bedroom. It’s a room I’m hoping to eventually re-paint and replace furniture. Which who knows when they’ll be money available to buy new furniture but one can dream and plan for such a purchase. For now I will clean and remove unnecessary items and live and work with what’s there.
When we first found out I was expecting her room was my “office”. It’s in quotations because my own business never really got off the ground. The plans are all still there but the need for film/video work in this area is just not there and so my camera sits in its camera bag waiting for the next client to come around. So my “office” was dispersed. The futon was moved downstairs to the games room, the bookshelf (which broke in half during the move) is now on the back screened in porch and my desk/chair and computer found their place in our bedroom.
As for reasons mentioned above, it doesn’t get a whole lot of use at the moment and became a gathering spot for anything and everything we don’t really have a home for. Looking something like this:
So Marley went down for her 3pm nap and I went to work. I'm working on a creative way to store all those stacks of blank CD's. I'll post what I've done in the next couple of days. And yes, that is 5 external hard drives all needing to be organized as well.
My little spot now looks like this:
My plan is to eventually get our storage room cleared and sorted and hopefully turned into my “office”/play room for Marley and we can get this out of our bedroom.
My next "job" our walk-in closet.
