Organizing Your Weakest Link

We all have a scary room in our home.
Your home looks fantastic, although lurking there is ... That room.

Your scary room is the location that stuff ends up that you just can't be bothered putting away. Maybe it is a drawer, cabinet, closet, spare bedroom, basement or garage.

"Jody's" home is amazing.
Every little thing is neat, tidy and organized, except for two rooms in her basement. These two rooms are her Scary rooms. Bit overrun with seasonal decorations, house improvement supplies, youngsters toys and costumes. Like the old saying, "You are only as strong as your weakest link," your dwelling is only as comfy as your worst room.

Mainly because of these two rooms Jody felt awful, wanted to do some thing about it. She known as me to help her purge. And WOW, she was great!! I expected about 4 hours to total this project.

Jody and I began in the basement storage room. This is where Jody's seasonal decorations, residence improvement and sports equipment is stored. The room has great shelves, though several of her items were on the floor.

We speedily sorted by way of the items, tossing all that was trash out of the room. Then placed all the house improvement paints, tools and such in 1 area. All the seasonal decorations together on the shelves and finally the sports equipment. Jody was left with plenty of space to store all her Christmas decorations.

Onto Jody's husband's desk, which we were "not allowed to touch anything." We didn't do considerably except clean up around the desk and get the Lego sculptures stored in a smaller cabinet. Although now her husband has significantly additional room to sort out his stuff. Even with the small bit we could do, Jody felt so a lot better about the location.

Finally, the other storage room in Jody's basement. This is an region where lots of of the kids old toys and Halloween costumes are kept. Once again, we began by pulling items out. Jody sorted through them, keeping and trashing. I cleaned up the region and put everything back that was staying.

All the trash was taken to garage, and now Jody is particularly pleased with her home now. No far more unorganized, scary rooms.

It only took 2.5 hours!!
Time flies when you are having enjoyable.
