30 Bags in 30 Days: Days 19-23

We are now starting to enter into the downstairs territory which means we are getting to the REALLY scary part. Our home has a full basement that we really only use for laundry and watching tv in the late evenings. The basement is completely finished with two guest rooms and a bathroom, but because those are not regular usage areas we tend to store lots of stuff there.

Also contributing to this problem, is our lack of a garage.

Here's what happened:

Day 19 - Office Small Closet:

(my bags)

(my newly organized closet)

Yes the closet pictures IS organized. Linens on top, then Games, then gift wrap, then sewing supplies, then scrapbooking and other craft supplies. I also would like to add that I am super glad we did not find out the gender of addy for many reasons... one being the fact that I am set on baby gift bags for LIFE.

Day 20 & 21: Office Walk-in closet shelves and floor.

(embarrasing before)

(awesome after)

(what we got rid of)

You may we wondering where the REST of the stuff went since the stuff we got rid of is not nearly enough to clean that entire mess of closet. It turns out this closet is where we put stuff we want to keep but don't have a place for yet. So there were about 30 gift bags that I folded down and put in their proper place. There was also some baby stuff that we moved to the Laundry area. Basically this night we started the Laundry room as well so we had places to put stuff. These days are starting to run together but that's OK! It's just getting our projects done faster.

I am planning on turning that walk in closet into a craft room of sorts. It will still have some regular storage, but I'd like to have a place where I can leave my sewing machine out and some craft messes without it being visable to others.

Day 22: Office Desk

Day 23: Office Bookshelf

We did not actually get rid of anything on the bookshelf. FAIL. But once you see the laundry room post you will see I definately made up for it. But I did find this lovely book Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones which you see projects from coming very soon! :)
