Laundry Room Progress

Natalie went to Grandma Ryszka's for the weekend and Lily is in school all day everyday (sniff), so I had a few hours of uninterrupted organizing this afternoon. The process I am using for this project is pitch, donate, keep. I started in the back and I am working my way out of the room. I filled one large black garbage bag of stuff so far and I am only half way through. It felt so good to tie up that bag and take it out to the garage for garbage day! It felt like a weight was lifted and I can't wait to finish! For now here are the "after" photos of my progress so far. . .




Not sure if you can tell much of a difference in the craft cupboard, but I got rid of a lot of stuff. I was determined to make it all fit in that one space, so I donated two boxes of unused Play-Doh and tossed a few crafts that my kids weren't that interested in. Not sure how happy I am with the results yet. My biggest problem with it is the Pixos box. Natalie got it for Christmas and we still haven't played with it. I think we will be getting that out this week to check it out and see if we can find a better storage solution for the Pixos.

I plan to do the second half tomorrow and then work on decorating the space. I am NOT a decorator so this should be interesting and fun hopefully.
