Taking the first leap

Since school and work pretty much control 60hrs a week of my life, I have decided to tackle the worst room first. You can either take the easy way or the hard way at the beginning but I don't want this area to be glooming over my head.

I have to remind myself that I can't complete it all at once and the "instant gratification" I am always looking for is not going to happen. But with time and work corner by corner I can turn this office into something that I love.

The office also serves as a place to store my clothes (my boyfriend is a bit of a closet hog in the bedroom) This is one of the reasons this room has become so unruly. I am going to try my best to conceal and move out my clothes as much as possible and make this room the ideal office/library/reading room that we desperately need!!!

The furniture in the room is all mismatched which drives me crazy. there is no true theme to the room. Since money is tight I will have to force myself to stay away from decorating and focus on organizing. With time I can replace the pieces of furniture and eventually have the ideal clean white office I have always wanted.

Tips for upkeep:

Keep flat surfaces clear. Don't let piles form.
Establish clear zones/homes for each and every item.
Keep everything that is used frequently within an arm's length.
