30 DAYS LATER- not bad

Day 30 - Master Closet Continued

I'm close to finishing the master closet.  I worked on the last 2 shelves, but I still have more hanging clothes.  You will see a familiar cute face on the top shelf.  I also found 2 hanging baskets on the bottom shelf- how fun is that? These will come in handy when I work on the pantry.  After purging and organizing, I now have an empty shelf.

Day 29 - Purses

The closet is overwhelming me, so I had to pick an easy shelf.  I don't have many purses, so it was easy to organize.  I did put 3 small purses in the donate pile. I still need to go shopping and enter this decade, 3 jeans is not going to cut it!

WHAT??

Day 28 - Shoes

After working in my closet- I've decided I really need to go shopping.  I don't have time to go shopping, but I should.  I need some clothes and shoes that have been purchased in the year 2000 something...

 I moved on to some hanging clothes....

Day 26 1/2 - Master Closet

As I cleaned the closet, I came across several shirts that had dates on them.  What was the oldest shirt? (that we can confirm- because sadly I'm sure it's not the oldest thing in my closet)

13 years old?

16 years old?

19 Years???

THE WINNER - Almost 20 years Old

Day 26- Master Closet Day 1

So.... I continue to procrastinate cleaning the home office.   Instead I decide to start on the master bedroom closet since I'm there every day.  It seems like I have lots of clothes yet I have nothing to wear.  I wanted a realistic view of what I have.   I started on the floor to ceiling shelves.

Day 25 - Dog Cabinet

I have a cabinet in my kitchen where I keep the big bag of dog food.  Every time I go to get food I have to push in the sides of the dog bag to slide it out.  It's annoying.  I'm not sure why it took me so long to do this, but now it looks great and makes my life easier!  :)

Day 24 - Last Day of Magazines

 I have spent 3 days reading magazines and I have no desire to read another.   Well, I say that now but tomorrow is another day.  I focused on the ottoman.  Here is the before and after.

Day 21 - School work Done!

At least the school work that is down stairs is organized!  I'm sure there will be more once I hit the home office. Enjoy

Remember the Before!

Organized Beauty!

Look at the CUTE labels!

Day 20 - Day 2 of School Paper clean up

I cleaned the Butler's Pantry and the cabinet underneath.  Here is what I was left with.  It doesn't look that bad in the photo, but trust me, it's going to take me some time.

This is where I am as of now.  I have taken all the paperwork and started sorting, shredding, recycling and organizing. 

Day 19th - Pressure from my Sister in Law

I started this new year resolution and blog because I can never find anything in my home office.  I have papers dating back 3 that are sitting in boxes, and bins.  They are in no order and it makes for a BEAR when I need to find something.  If you look at all my posts- none of them are addressing the papers.  I am totally procrastinating!  I got a funny comment from my sister in Law (SIL), who shall remain nameless, that all my posts are cute- BUT GET TO THE PAPERS LADY!  She is right, just like my mom when she said you have TOO MUCH STUFF.  So here is the 1st of 3 posts organizing some of my paperwork.  Please Note-After consulting with my security team- I have cropped my photos to remove some stuff, Sorry for the 1/2 photos!

Butler's Pantry- School work nightmare!

The 2nd Cabinet under the Butlers Pantry

Cleared

Day 18 - Christmas Decorations B

Yes, It took me 2 days to clean up the Christmas decorations.  I moved them all upstairs and made the hallway a disaster area.  I still need to take the remaining containers upstairs to the attic. Maybe tomorrow.  Here is the before and after.
