I did 2 more hours on Saturday and 2 more on Sunday getting ready for guests. Our guest room is now functioning and really nice! I consider that an accomplishment that has directly grown out of the...

Today, I faced the downstairs closet because, as I mentioned before, I needed to move about 3 boxes of junk and a painting I don't know where to hang (from the guestroom which I'm trying to make...

Yes - they're too noisy at night to share with my daughter or me!
During my batches of 40 hours over the last 1-2 years, I've been working towards making our teeny third bedroom into a nice guestroom. The obstacles have been that it's always tempting to throw stray...

I keep just walking in there and opening it :). EXTREMELY satisfying!
3 more hours today on the cupboards in the kitchen island and the kitchen "junk drawer," which I am hoping to just call "the drawer to the right of the sink" now.
I've included links to before and...
Iris Lilies and Rosa - thanks for the reassurance about the spices! One thing I've learned is to buy the smallest bottles I can because I rarely can use up any spice before the expiration date.

I think the theme of today's decluttering was, "But I thought I just decluttered that!" I'm reorganizing some shelves in the...
This is very embarrassing to admit, but I went through my spice cupboards and found 27 bottles of expired spices to toss!
Just a baby step today: 1/2 hour starting to organize and declutter the shelves in my laundry room, 2-3 shelves of which I'm setting up with overflow from my pantry which is very small. I got a...
