Random thought

Happy to report that all loose papers in the office are now either filed or trashed. Unopened mail has a nice little box for everyone to sort through and there is a landing spot for recently lost/important papers AND and landing spot for incoming mail. I spent 3 hours getting just the closet and corner complete. Next task is the desk drawers (luckily there are only 3). No new pictures until everything is properly put in place.

Donations made:

15 pairs of shoes

10 purses

3 belts

15 clothing items

2 household

9 makeup items

1 hat

I am warned to not be distracted by side projects that might get me off track of the dirty work of organizing so I'm just going to record the things that I want to do once this project is complete. I have been doing pretty good so far about staying on track and I only went shopping one time when I shouldn't have. I have to remind myself to not go shopping for organizers and containers until everything is out in the open and separated in to neat and labeled piles.

Anyways.... onto the random thought....

I think to solve my ugly furniture problem, I'm just going to re-do the old furniture with some sanding and a new coat of paint.

Items getting a face-lift:

Desk

Dresser

File cabinet

I've done a bit of research on how to strip the finish off of furniture and paint it properly without spending too much time or $. Since I obviously can't afford to buy the office of my dreams, I'm just going to have to make it (after the organizing is complete of course).

Have to study now.
