Well... It has been awhile, 5 months to be exact. Many things have changed. We bought a house. Moved in and started some remodeling. We moved into the house in September. Since then we have ripped out all carpeting and put in hard wood flooring. I started putting some drywall and pegboard into the laundry room. It is still a work in progress though. We also visited ikea and came home with a lovely load of boxes to build a home entertainment system that literally takes up a 12 ft wall. On a positive note there are no wires for any little hands to get a hold of. We still have a lot work to do. Our basement and garage are a maze. I am hoping to attack that in the next week and a half or so.
I am starting to look into the idea of becoming a minimalist. I know I have a long way to go but if you saw the amount of things we have it is just not right in some ways. I myself from pre-pregnancy- now have approximately 6-7 tubs of clothing and I would really like to just make it one for the opposite season. Starting this week, I am going to try and do one room at a time and clear out anything we don't use or need. I am also hoping to have our garage (Yay! no more on street parking) in order by the end of this week to be able to fit cars in before it starts to snow. Part of this is also from my husband being slightly OCD. He does not like a lot of anything or rather everything has to have its own place or it needs to be tossed which is true.
I have the intentions of posting before and after pictures to keep accountable for myself. The rooms that are going to be worked on:
- Hallway closet & bathroom
- Basement
- Garage
- Master bedroom
- 2nd bedroom
- Kitchen
- Nursery
This is the plan for now. I will update tomorrow on progress.
