We are organizing the entire house.
Went to the container store, bought a friggen truck load of stuff (literally) and brought it home.
Now the house is a mess...
- I decided to clean out my closet and drawers to reorganize all my clothes. There was a point in my life where everything in my closet would hang in order of color and the hangers were evenly spaced. I wasn't always like that, but I'd like to get back there. Life was so much easier with that kind of organization.
Right now I have piles (no joke) of clothes on the floor that include seasonal, donation, sell, trash, PJs, undies...
My plan is to wash EVERYTHING, regardless of the fact that they are already clean... and then refold and hang everything. We bought some HUGE see-through storage bins so I can store big items and rarely worn items. So hopefully, I can manage those.
- We bought some kitchen cabinet/closet organizers that help us to utilize more vertical space, since that always seems to go to waste.
- We are redecorating the loft. Before we used to have Mike's desk and a bed in the loft. Also I had a card table as my desk, since I couldn't seem to fit anything else.
The loft is big but since Mike's desk was so big, we had to design around the desk which meant leaving the desk in the middle of the room and the bed in an odd place in order for me to have a small wall to keep my desk. I will post the many designs we've had in the loft in pictures after all is said and done.
- We have decided on a final plan for the loft that includes a portion of the room, soley for the bed which will be seperated by sheer curtains. Then we are going to buy 2 of the same exact L shaped desks and place them on either side of the remaining portion of the room. Centered on the wall in front of the desks will be a TV and entertainment center. Between the 2 desks (in front of the bed) will be a sitting area (hopefully).
- We also recently bought a 40" Sony Bravia LCD TV for the den downstairs. It was one expense we splurged on. We have not bought a tv since we met and my TV is almost 6 years old and it's dying. It's sad how short lived they are.
Anyway - with all this organizing going on, I've finally decided to roll it over to wedding planning. I really need to get on the ball since there's really little relaxing time left. 9 months and counting...
We at least booked the honeymoon. We will be going to Tahiti, Moorea & Bora Bora for 10 days. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Something to look forward to--- destressing on the islands in solitude. *happy sigh*Labels: thoughts |

I always say that no matter how stressed out you get and no matter how bad you think it is, it can always get worse. I know what you talking about. And it sounds like this might be a little stressful for you. I could be wrong, but that's just the impression that I got from you blog. I too have been doing some redecorating. The funny thing about it is that our redecorating project stemmed from just wanted to reorganize our house.
We live by a small town and we don’t have any big furniture stores. On top of that, the small town that we live by is about 30 miles away. So it's not convenient for us to just jump in the truck and go to town every day. Luckily I have the internet, or I might go crazy. I was looking up furniture and redecorating ideas when I ran across this wonderful blog by this lady who had done some redecorating herself. Her blog suggested that I go to a website called http://homefurnituremart.com. I went and checked out the site, and now I’m planning on ordering a few things from them. They have a beautiful entertainment center that I want, and also a beautiful bombe chest that I plan on ordering. The lady's blog gave me a few pointers on how to arrange them properly, but overall her biggest point that she was trying to make to everyone was not to let yourself get stressed. So keep that in mind when you're doing things like this. I hope everything works out well for you!!
