(before)I don't know why but New Year always gets me in the mood for chucking stuff out and tidying those spaces that get stuffed full of crap during the year... yesterday I tackled my lovely walk-in linen press - I got rid of a large black garbag full of paraphernalia (read crap!) and a laundry basket stacked full of empty cardboard boxes of varying sizes (I tend to collect/keep boxes in case they can be used for something else)... I also found some mouse droppings (uh, oh!) and many dead spiders and millipedes in there so the whole room got a good spraying of Mortein!

(after)Doesn't that look better? The shelves are still stuffed full but it is a storage area so that's what the room is for. Hey, do you like all my mis-matched bath towels? I tend to buy cream, pale pink or sage green ones (they don't leave dark fluff on my cream bathroom tiles like bottle green or burgundy ones) but they are in varying degrees of thread-bareness. I've never had all nice new towels at the same time. You?

Then I tackled my side of our walk-in robe... this is the pile of clothes that got carted off to St. Vinnies. I also purged about 10 pairs of shoes and boots. Bugger, I'll have to get new boots for winter! :)~
This is MY side of the space - see - I HAVE NO CLOTHES!That bottom shelf is all my winter clothes and even they are in danger of being ousted when winter comes. Stay tuned!

Today, being a holiday Monday for NY, I will continue to potter - Kirby heads back to Adelaide so her room needs a once over and there's always something to do in the laundry and the kitchen floor needs a good mopping. My next big project is my built-in cupboards in the study - but I need the recycling bin to be emptied this week before I can really start that project!

Cheers - Joolz
