The Big Purge and a Free Printable

Welcome to 2016! I  am very excited about this year. Not only do I have some fun things planned, but we are also going to be welcoming a new little one in June!

I think I might have the nesting bug a little early. The last half of December into well…now…I have been checking items off my master project list left and right. I have also been finally getting rid of items I have not used, have been trying sell, think I am going to sell and stuff I bought just because it was on sale.

Let me tell you…it feels GREAT!

My office had turned into a huge dumping spot for anything and everything. I didn’t even want to go in there to work. I usually just took my laptop and curled into bed to get things done. Which doesn’t work because then I just end up browsing or yelling at my laptop because it’s too slow. Then fall asleep.

I love working on my desktop. I am a visual person. I need items on paper, spread out in front of me that I can scribble on, write lists and file away.

The office had to be cleaned.

It started the week before Christmas. I made a list of all the items I wanted done before guests started arriving and I did them. One nap at a time.

Some of the items I finally got rid of/donated (and you should too)

  • Clothes that I have been trying to sell..some for a year!
  • Small items I didn’t want to throw away but always thought I could sell at a yard sale… in 3 years the yard sale has yet to happen.
  • Boxes. I am an avid ebay seller, and even offer it to clients as a service to sell their items. I had way too many boxes that were taking up space and some too big or too small that I would never use. Into the recycling they went.

My office is really coming along and I can’t wait to have a finished product to show you. I don’t have a before picture. I should have, the impact would be amazing but I was too eager to jump in to think about it!

I will continue to post about other projects and great tips on my journey to a clean and functional office but for now, one of the projects I checked off my list was putting something in our hall bath over the toilet.

For 3 years I have been waiting for the perfect, unique piece that I never found. I needed something.

So I grabbed some scrap wood, brackets from Hobby Lobby and put up some shelves.

I have to admit I really like them. I am constantly changing out the items I have on them until I find what I love.

I created this little printable and if you like it, click on the image, download and print one for yourself!
