    KEEP IT SIMPLE!

    My bedroom could use some uncomplicating. I’m not trying to sound suggestive here, but unfortunately my bedroom is the dumping ground for all of our clean laundry and random toys and books that belong to my kids. I hate my room looking like a junk room and would love to make a change.

    KEEP IT SIMPLE! My whole house could use some organizing. No matter how hard I try, I feel like the clutter just never goes away. I like to hold onto things, but I am trying to let go and reduce the “stuff” in my house.

    As my house is under construction (almost done) I’d need help organizing things afterward. My mom sent me home after the holidays with a lot of stuff I don’t need. Sigh.

    I could really use help in decluttering the clothes in our house. None of our closets, except the Master BR, have closet rods. We use only drawers for everyone’s clothing. Plus I need a way to figure out how to stow out of season clothing. Ugh…. :)

    My classroom could use some serious simplifying. Along with that…the cloffice (closet-office) we’re working on right now. Lots of inspiration, now just have to cull it all down and get a simple system that works!

      New year = New home. As we’re moving to a our new dream house I need to make simple decisions… Declutter everything that’s hidden or unused for so long, so this transition is as easy and smooth as I had planned in my 2012 year’s resolution: ‘ a simple happy life’ .
