22 Days to Less Mess (Day 22 The List)

As I cleaned and/or organized each room this month, I built on a list that can be worked through in the new year to help make our home feel even more complete. Some things are as simple going out finding it and purchasing it. Other things will require some (or lots of) work on our part. Hopefully I will be able to keep track of what I/we have done over the course of the next few months to year (or more) and then next year this time, I can post it again with lots of things marked off :o). It would be so nice to see almost the entire list with a line through it! That's my dream anyways :o)! Of course then there will be a new list for next year, but that what keep life fun :o)!


Mudroom/Laundry Room

Bathrooms

• repaint around mainfloor shower
• repaint trim in mainfloor b.r.
• patch up damaged area in upstairs bath
• caulk around tub

Exercise Room

• motivational pictures and words for walls
• some photos on the walls too
• this room also really needs to be repainted already. (The painter's paint they use is horrible. Just sayin'! All the rooms they did already have nics and scratches, but this room is by far the worst!)

Craft Room

• I have a wild colour in mind for this room because it's so dark with no window
• I also have three things that I would like to hang on the walls, but I'll wait until I've painted
• get my little table back

Bub's Room

• hooks for in his closet
• hang picture

Classroom/Playroom

• hang growth chart
• and (unfortunately) repaint

Storage Room

• tidy
• sort
• go through boxes that haven't been touched in forever and toss
• decrease the paper piles
• find free standing shelves for center of room

There you have it, the bucket list after all the rooms have been tidied and organized. I'm a little worried about that storage room yet though....

I'll keep you posted on that one. To those of you who commented, than you for your kind words and encouragement. We'll now resume our normal blogging :o)!
