Lately I've been wanting to de-clutter my life. I feel like I have too much stuff & not enough space... You know what I mean?
Where to start..... This is the hardest thing to figure out.
This is where I wanted to start. My dresser. It is what I see every morning & what I really need to organize..... but if you look at the picture from another angle.....
What you notice in the mirror is even more clutter throughout the bedroom.... the window seat if so full of clutter that the drapes can't lay nicely on it (ok, I also need to hem the drapes, but then you would see all the clutter...)
In an effort to focus on something small that can be done a timely manner.... timely = less than 30 minutes, I decided the bedside dresser:
Please ignore the unmade bed... the pleasures of weekend => an afternoon nap..
On the dresser (in addition to the alarm clock & lamp)
3 4-month old lottery tickets (hubby quickly took them to check the numbers), a DVD (we don't have a DVD player in the bedroom!), 2 cookbooks, 1 magazine, a parenting guide, 2 new shirts for work, a box of Kleenex, a calculator that needed to be donated MONTHS ago, face moisturizer, foot cream, 2 tubes of hand ointment, scissors, a sleeping mask, a gameboy game & a piece of dinosaur bone. Honestly, why should all those things be on my bedside table?
Once everything was off & the wood was polished:
I left the lamp, alarm clock, Klennex, foot cream & hand cream.
I wonder how long it will stay this way....
