Check out my 'office' before and afters? Otherwise known as decluttering fun!





Ok, so I'm in a major rearranging and decluttering roll. I've realized that most of the rooms in my house are arranged for maximum space efficiency, vs. actual style. Probably because I've been using to arranging a smaller house... this house we're renting is actually to big for us. I'm realizing now that not everthing has to be against a wall!

ANYHOO, I've rearranged the kids rooms, and now our bonus room (my desk and the kids desk). It feels so refreshing!

I stole the lamp, ficus, and vase from our living room, heh heh. I haven't really spent the time or money to decorate anything but the "public" rooms of our house. Now I guess I need to steal some pictures for the wall too.

Whaddya think? An improvement?

Next onto our bedroom. We've been here for 2.5 years (the longest we've lived in one place since we've been married) and I feel like we just have WAY too much junk. Part of me just wants to rent a big dumpster to just PURGE.

Yep, I like it. I think the arrangement "flows" nicer now. Is it working for you?

I'm on a major paper organizing trip right now. I did a decluttering purge in November. I think I'd rather declutter. I really hate all this paper I've acquired.

Thanks guys!

I LOVE the new layout. Feels much better, looks much better. That desk hutch just made me feel surrounded. Now to just keep my desk clean!

Haven't done my bedroom yet, but did the closets two days ago. Much better, and dropped off 5 large bags off at Goodwill. Woohoo!

great job!
my first thought was the first picture was decluttered, lol, that's how 'bad' my desk is, actually it's much much worse!
I bet you get a whole new feeling when you sit down now!
