As I mentioned in my 2008 resolutions, each month from February through November is dedicated to a room in the home. Thematically, I plan to take each room and concentrate on what it represents symbolically. But, I also want to give the rooms a little TLC as well. I can’t afford whole make-overs, but I can work with what my mama gave me. Literally, I am the recipient of a bedroom suite that is much better than what we had before (which would be bedroom suite). I’ve thought long and hard about what I want the look to be…now I’ve only to work towards my daydream.
This is the first day of the first full week in February. While I bragged about decluttering before, I discover that I actually have need to further lessen our storage within the room and choose among the knick-knacks that are display worthy. I’d love to go as little, minimal as possible so that the colors and fabrics (yet unpurchased) will be the main attraction.
Working towards my financial goals, I’m itemizing as much as possible and then donating to Salvation Army. This will sorta also fill my desire to help donate to a charity as well, though it won’t stand alone to check off my list.
Are you up for decluttering? There’s the notorious junk surface, junk drawer, junk shelf, LOL, just waiting for you to work some magic. I’ve spars-ed down my wardrobe, but organization in the bedroom’s closet and under the bathroom sink would be welcome. I’m not committing to clearing the room perfectly. I’ll do an honest effort and be as complete as I’m likely to get by the end of the week.
