The New Game!!

All righty! In the weeks I've been with FlyLady's Chat room, there have been small changes accumulating around the house. Still, I'm feeling the need to grab the boulder and ROLL it... so I've decided on a new Game!!!
Along with the Chat, I'm going to use my :15 work sessions to tidy a room, then take a picture of that room as sort of a "baseline". In weeks to come, I'm going to revisit the pics to keep myself motivated, and see what kind of progress I might be making.

The Habit for the month of February is decluttering for 15 minutes a day. We'll see where it leads....


First of all, Welcome to my house! Come on in...

This is the living room. Not much of a problem here, since we really use it only for company - just dusting, vacuuming, and the occasional plant maintenance session is all it really needs.

Oh, and drapes. And a mirror over the fireplace, maybe. But that's not "housekeeping"!

(Lit a "fire in the fireplace" just for y'all...)

Now, take a turn to your right, and we'll go down the hall....
.

OOPS! Do I see a hint of CLUTTER???? Hmmm maybe we'll turn around for a minute and look into the Dining Room instead. ;-)

Ahh better. Dining Room... not much to be done here. I do need to rethink some plants that are off camera to the right (scruffy babies), and work on some sort of heavier drapes... but that's for later!

.

Hmmm... and maybe some clutter on top of the china cabinet!
.
The door to the left leads into the "Butler's Pantry", which we use as a breakfast room...
.
.
And there, the Real work begins!!
(To be Continued...)
