Weeks 4 & 5

Ok so I didn't clean my closet on week 4 either. We got back from Louisiana and I had so much to do catching up with laundry, cleaning up the mess the cats left me, etc that I didn't get around to it. So, this is week 5 and I've been working on my closet off and on for days now. I'll post the after pictures tomorrow I think, but here are the before pictures. Now I just have to figure out what to clean/straighten for Week 6.

Week 3

I know that I said I was going to clean the master bedroom closet this week, but I lied (get over it!). I'm leaving on Thursday to go home and celebrate Mardi Gras with my awesome friends and family. So, while I have started cleaning my closet there is no freaking way it will be finished tomorrow. I turns out that my master closet is HUGE and while I love that it tends to attract excess clutter. So, while you're all giving me a mental kick in the butt for not finishing in time I will be enjoying the parades and some hand grenades on Bourbon St. I promise you that next week we will be back to our regularly scheduled programing and my closet will be clean!

Week 2

Ok so week 2 I tackled the book case in the spare room. It was literally overflowing onto the floor. Books EVERYWHERE!!! I got rid of an entire 16in. box of books (off topic anybody wants some books lol).I think that next week I am going to tackle the closet in the master bedroom. It's in definite need of some help!!

Before: Books everywhere!

After: Nice and organized! The bottom shelf and most of the 3rd shelf are all Andrew's books. Hopefully we'll be able to thin them out a little more once he gets home.

Week 1

Ok so far so good I'm making progress on this whole clean out one part of the house one day a week challenge. I decided to start small. Mainly because I didn't want to overwhelm myself and quit on week one. This week I started with the closet in our front spare bedroom. It had become the catchall for things that didn't have a home. There were two boxes of random stuff that still hadn't been unpacked from when we moved in in June! I thought I had taken a before picture, but evidently I did not. So, here is the after picture for the closet and the before picture for next week's project.

Nice clean closet. The green tub is Andrew's stuff to take care of when he gets home.

Next week's project. The bookcase that ate the bedroom.

Project 52

So, I've been thinking about this for the whole day. I'm not sure I want to do another 30 day challenge, so I've decided instead to make up my own Project 52. I've been wanting to organize/clean out this house for a while now (try since the day we got our crap from TMO). So, once a week for 52 weeks I am going to organize/clean out a portion of this house. I think that I'm going to start small with a closet or something and move on from there. Hopefully, by the time this year is over I will have clean, de-cluttered, organized home. Bonus points for Andrew not being able to find anything when he gets home (jk dear). Hopefully someone will hold me to this and I will actually get it accomplished!!!
