Out with the old, in the with new!

Nothing like a nice cleanse to make yourself feel fresh!   Spent the weekend cleaning out my room, stripped it down, everything is in the hallways and living room and nothing is going back unless I need or wear it.


First I purged my closet and the bathroom door.  Yes, the bathroom door was used as a closet extension, with hooks and devises to hold the closet clothing overflow.   It was such an anxiety nightmare, I had to do something.  I removed everything, and filled 8 trash bags with clothes to donate. I have a scheduled pick up on August 14th.   I vow to no longer use the bathroom door as a closet, I will  use it as a door for the bathroom (I took a picture of it, but deleted it off my phone because I don't want to even look at the disorganized mess I created).  


The few old clothing items I did keep.  Vintage J.Crew classic clothing, pieces I love and have had for forever and Yes, even some Vintage Target pieces that I love and dry clean to keep them fresh.  I use the word vintage, because the J.Crew pieces are 15 + years old and the Target pieces, are 10+ old.  Classic and timeless.  


On to the next step of my bedroom overhaul.  I removed the bedroom furniture, except for my husband’s armor and our bed; too big and too heavy for me to do myself.  I put everything into the middle of the room and taped up the walls.  I painted the ceiling white and changed the wall color to a neutral light not quite yellow.  It has brightened up the whole room.  It all looks so fresh and clean now.


Now, to decided what goes back into the room and to buy a new light fixture.  And, Yes, I will be going to Target to buy scarf, belts and shoe storage bin boxes.  I will not, go into the clothing, workout, accessary, shoes departments while I am there.  Who am I kidding, Yes I will because I have tons of room now for new stuff! 


I am off to start my day.  I feel good and vow not to let the room get out of control again.
