So this morning Corinna suggested we blog about our attempts to clean out our houses and move into new houses in short periods of time (she said "6 weeks," but honestly, I don't think we can sell this house that fast). I immediately liked this idea because 1. it motivates me to keep working on this project and 2. it gives me a reason to sit down and not work on the project directly. Yes, my name is Sara, I'm a mother of two, a Registered Nurse, and a bundle of contradictions.
We have a lot to do in our house if we want to sell it and move. De-clutter, store stuff we don't get rid of, paint the entire downstairs and some of the rooms upstairs, finish the upstairs bathroom remodel, replace some flooring... the list is long and it won't be cheap. But we can't live here forever* and we do have a house we want to make on offer on.
After agreeing to this blog plan, I immediately sprang into action by tackling one of the (MANY) trouble areas in my house, the closet in the master bedroom. It is a large closet but it was full... so much so that I couldn't take a step into it anymore. This morning I had donated a few bags of items to the Epilepsy Foundation (they come around Northfield about once a month to pick up donations and I love them for it). After today's work, I have more bags of items that will be donated eventually, my closet is somewhat better organized, and my husband got involved in the closet project, too!
I'm hoping to work on the closet further tomorrow, and yes, I'm taking pictures and I'm hoping to figure out how to post them as well.
Until then...
*I'll explain in a future blog post. I hope someone reminds me.
Of course I should have started with more of an introduction, but....I'm more of an "In Media Res" kind of lady. We'll explain as we go. Glad you got your closet unclogged!
