Babay can show up any day and most of my house is organized and decluttered, YEAH!!!! But my clostets are a maess. So I am gonna tackle them. Anyone wanna join me.
In my bedroom I have a long narrow walk in closet. it is really like an ordinary closet size but is a walk-in. A pita imo. I think I am gonna try to condense most of the clothes to one side so we can at least get in there. I store all my books in there because I don't have a book case. they have all fallen over and gotten jumbled up, so I am gonna straighten them out and collect the books from the rest of the house. I have several rubbermaid tubs I want moved out of there. I have to talk DH into this because he likes them in there (they have his stuff in them- electriacl cords and stuff in one- financial info in another)
In the TV room (dumb name for a room that has a televison but no tv access :rolleyes: ) I am gonna turn that closet into a craft hobby area. i need to store some sewing stuff, including my machine, some yarn (actually a TON of yarn!), and my scarpbooking stuff. My scrapbooking stuff is pretty organized but the other stuff should keep me busy for a while.
The living room closet is presently a nightmare! Auuuughhhhh. Maybe I can set it in fire:p , jk... It presently has a bunch of stuff I ned to sell, a bunch of sewing stuff, stuffed in plastic bags, and a rubbermaid drawer system full of yarn. And a desk. Why a desk? becaue I can't find anywhere to store it. been meaning to give it to a friend, just haven't gotten around to it. Gonna get it done TODAY!!!!! Oh, and a pile of coats we can't hang up cause of the huge mess in there. The whole top shelf is taken up with games. they are pretty organized. But I wish there was a better place to put them. We have a bout 50:o .

Holy Cow!!!! I am done. You would not believe what a difference it made. I thought it would take me several days but dh helped and now it is done! Wooohoooo.... My closets look awesome and they were the last decluttering phase of the house. I can not believe that I am done (well, I did forget about the bathroom linen closet- dh kindly reminded me). Every closet has a function now. My bedroom closet is for clothes...no extra junk cluttering it up. My hobby room (was tv room) closet has all our books and my hobby stuff in it. no extras except a stowaway blow-up bed. My living room closet has coats, and dh's financial stuff (our office is in the living room), and also the games. It looks so very nice.

I got rid of:
2 garbage bags (black ones) of garbage
2 garabage bags (one white one black) of stuff to goodwill
2 plastic grocery bags to friends.
About 30 books!!!!

I feel great...baby can come anytime now, I am ready!

Wow, that's awesome!! :D

I haven't even begun to tackle closets yet... lol... still working on the rooms. But our little one isn't supposed to arrive for 4 1/2 more months, so I should have time. ;)

Way to go! :thumbsup:
