MoreOrgo Pix For You
I have totally lost track of number of days for the OrgoFun
And these aren't all my pictures.
And I forgot to go through and label them when I dumped them to a little web page.
But here's some more pix. I'll put just a few here, and you can go look at the rest if you want more, more, more.
Maybe later today I'll take more pix and put them up.
Hollie and I are almost done with the main floor.
But what we've got left is the "doozy" stuff to me -- all the boxes of "Kim's Stuff" I just have been shoving back in the house and in my mind. Ugh. I hate boxes of my stuff, LOL. And the BASEMENT. Ooooh, scary. Although really, I'm looking forward to the day when the garage and basement are tidy and useable, even if there's still issues with the cat and the basement. To be able to go down and find something quick would be nice.
So anyway. Enough rambling. On with the Catch Up.
Here's the link to all (well, many of) the pix: MoreOrgo! (don't be fooled, it's the same link!)
here's the upstairs (kids') bathroom, after:

I can't find a before picture of that bathroom, but trust me, you don't want to see it anyway. SCARY!
Part of the big boys' room, after:

they've been doing a great job of keeping it clean! And they got bunk beds out of the deal, so they're thrilled. You can see a little of their before room here and here.
Little Boys' room:

They each got bigger beds out of the deal, and we left room in the cupboards for them to still climb in and play, which you might remember from this before pic...
And then there's the guest room, as it was just before Linda arrived:

here's a pic from before, when I was using the room to store extra unfolded bedding, mending, and all the OrgoBoxes ...
the funny thing, to me, is that that guest room, bad as it was before, is the one room I thought as we did it that I could've done myself -- because on Guest Room OrgoDay we didn't actually sort and declutter, we just *relocated* all the sorting and decluttering to the basement. While I'm terrible at Organizing and Decluttering on my own, I am not too bad at relocating everything quickly. LOL. But Hollie did help me get some of the clutter out of there and we moved a dresser into the guest room closet, with some space for guests to use and also to hold my yarn stash.
Maybe I'll take some more pix to link to, I see as I look over my pictures that I don't have any after of the back room and my desk, both of which are impressive changes even if Hollie let me hide (for now) all my stuff I wasn't prepared to thoughtfully sort. Okay, she wouldn't call it hiding. But she was gracious enough to let me make a box of "I'll think about it later" for my desk and for much of the back room.
The back room is a story in itself, I'll save that for later.
Anyway, don't forget that there's a few more after pix of the boys' rooms here, if you want more, and those you can click to see bigger. But again, it's the same link as above! Ha ha! I just didn't want you to miss it.
Phew, I'll call this half-caught-up on blogging. I feel better already.
Posted by Kim at November 27, 2007 10:31 AMOkay, I have to know. Where IS everything? I see all the nearly-empty shelves and I have to wonder where all the boys' stuff went. I recently got sick to death of the mess, and we packed up the kids' rooms like we were moving, and put it all in the garage. Now, not three months later and it's as bad as it ever was. Have you been sending your stuff HERE? Tell the truth, now!

Did you have all this stuff all along, or does Hollie bring a selection for you to choose from? I'd also ask what lottery you won to purchase all these wonderful organizational treasures...but that would be really tacky!
Was Linda totally, totally impressed??!
