A beginning to an End

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: To start a new beginning. A beginning to an end of messes. A beginning of organization. A beginning of less stress looking for that item that "was just right there the last time I looked". And hopefully, a beginning of a bond of 3 "sisters" sharing the messy bits and how we might get them more organized.

Here's the logistics:
~ Start with a
bowl full of lemons 21 day challenge.
~ After we've succeeded, each of us in turn will suggest a new challenge until we are all successfully organized mammas.

I'm up for the challenge. Are you?
Ready. Set. GO!

Summer. Day 2, The computer Desk

This one took me a bit. Not because of the mess, but because of where to store things so that it stays clean. I think that's more what this is about than just cleaning up. So here we go with the BEFORE photos.

This file cabinet is from our old desk. It's there because we don't know where else to put it.


This is where Kumon, and homework and all the other busy work is done.

The printer is functional but those four cubes certainly aren't being put to good use.

Part of the wrap around desk that is just used as a paper graveyard. Look! ...More pencils and crayons. Ugh.

And the last part of the desk that is not used for it's full potential.
 As you can see, I had my work cut out for me. Although we have a VERY large desk space I constructed while The Husband was away for a business trip, it's not being used for the "write" type of  things. A few days before this challenge, Brandon and I hung a couple of shelves from IKEA and were planning on doing the third but it didn't have the hardware with it so we had to wait. So after a trip back to the beloved store I was able to complete this room. Here are the AFTER photos.
Even Brandon got into the cleaning mood and made my heart flutter by hiding all the dangling cords under the desk. ♥

Here's the beautiful clean corner wrap around. Remember we're a house of 7 when you count 4 chairs and 3 computers in here.

Isn't it lovely???? Storage galore!!!


And look at my mini cubby system for the Kumon packets. Matching boxes for paper and photos. And did you notice now we have a place to hang the kumon bags??? YES!!!

Here's the over-all room. Isn't it wonderful?! The kids did great doing their homework in a clean environment last night and it's our family's new favorite hang-out now. I can't wait for our entire home to be clean and organized so we can fall in love with our home all over again. ♥♥♥
