Just an update on my current status.....
Week #3 - Master bedroom......this is now complete. I left off here and I had to finish the closet. I organized that, shocking how many garments made it to the floor! All of the deep cleaning is done (blinds, molding, windows, mirrors) as well as the dusting and vacuuming. I even added a bamboo plant. I am waiting to put the flannel sheets and comforter on the bed, since no one seem to tell mother nature that it is not supposed to 85 degrees in October in Pennsylvania. But I have them ready to go when the weather turns.
Week #4 - Children's bedroom .....this is complete. I only have one child DD15. This summer we redid her entire bedroom as she wanted to change it from a tween (AKA Victoria Justice) room, to a more grown up room. This was long overdue. We ripped out the carpet and installed wood laminate floors, we painted a mint green/gray color (her pick), and she got new bedroom furniture, a light fixture, and molding. It looks great, and she is responsible for keeping it that way. I did ask her to organize her closet and dresser top. I took a peek inside, and much to my surprise she did do that and then some.
Week #5 - Guest Room....I use this week to do our bonus room. At one time this was my daughters play room. As she outgrew that, it sadly turned into a catch all. I have to organize this. In fact, there is still a toy box in there with sporting equipment, flat basketballs, old jump ropes, a dented hula hoop, etc. As well as a telescope we never use, items for a yard sale that I never had, etc. I must organize this and just get rid of most of it. This is my plan for the next few days, and hopefully have this done for by the end of the weekend.
Week #6 - Wardrobe....this is complete. Complete because it never really started. I guess what I consider a curse is actually a blessing this week. Our house was built in 1900 and we have very, very few closets. So not a whole lot to do there. I do not switch out my clothes with the changing seasons. They all just stay either in the closet or the dresser all year round. It's a good thing for me because I need the time to organize the bonus room.
Miscellaneous - Looking pretty good here. I have some things to wrap, but the gift inventory is caught up, supplies are all stocked (with the exception of baking supplies), and cards are all made out. Once I get the addresses for the MHH Card swap, they will all be done.
Keep fighting the good fight ladies! My apologies for writing a novel.
