Solid wood, dovetail drawers, and no major damage - perfect color for our bedroom - thumbs… Continue reading Home Organization Project 34

With school starting soon, we decided it was time to have a "school year calendar home organization project." Well, I decided that's what we needed. What does that mean? Instead of cleaning and sorting a different area around the house - or move because we've accumulated too much stuff - we focused on how we… Continue reading Home Organization Project 33

This week's home organization project - also known as get rid of stuff or move - was our garage and can we have a drum roll, please? Scratch that. Mini-drum roll, please.

We're half-way through our year-long crazy, hair-brained idea of mine to either reduce the amount of 'stuff' and clutter in our house or move. The "52 weeks of home organization projects" has definitely been interesting and has people talking. The burning question most everyone asks is: "Are you really, actually, cleaning out the - fill… Continue reading Home Organization Project 26

After the blow-out yard sale we had last week, I needed an easy project for this week's home organization project. The sale went well - in case you were wondering - not that we made loads of money - but we got rid of almost everything. Almost is the key word because Brad conveniently priced… Continue reading Home Organization Project 25
