ME !!! ME !!!!! MMMEEE!!!!!!
I wanna join again this year!!!
I want a major purge this year and want to make our home more functional to serve us better. We have lived in this house for 3 years now and I have no idea how we overlooked some of the functional aspects when we looked at buying it.
For example: this house is in serious need of some closets. I know that doesn't sound huge, but after 3 years of dealing with no coat closet, no linen closet near the kids bathroom and no linen closet for the master bath, some installations are going up this year. With a family of 5, there is nowhere to put the piles of coats, backpacks, rain boots, etc, so we need a coat closet near the front door. There is no linen closet, so everything is piled up on some shelves we have outside the kids bathroom. It's so silly, there is a 3x6 niche right outside the bathroom where a nice large linen closet should be.
Over last summer DH and I completely removed everything from our closet, all clothes, all shelves, etc. I purchased a large bundle of shelves off FB Marketplace. DH painted our closet and we totally reorganized the shelf set up and it's so much more functional! In the process purged 4 lawn bags of clothes.
We got a new mattress when we moved in, and for some reason the delivery company would not take the old one (even tho we paid the $25 removal fee) so the prior mattress has been leaning up again the wall in the master bedroom sitting area for 3 y e a r s...... I started dragging it out of our room and down the hall, DH jumped up and helped me get it loaded in the truck and we dropped it off at the recycle dump in less than 20 minutes, all that waiting 3 years for 25 mins worth of work, lol lol lol
