This year, her 29 Day Organizational Challenge is to "concentrate your efforts on one chaotic and cluttered room and work to
transform it into an organized and peaceful space instead."
I am super excited about this because I have one area of our home that HAS to be organized...
OY! This mess of a room is going to become our baby's nursery in just a few short months! Currently it is our dumping ground, in between guests! {Yes, we actually have guests stay in this room...it is amazing what I can pile and hide!}
I know that I am actually not going to be able to completely finish this room in the 29 days {because we will not have all the furniture, linens, and clothes yet}...but I do plan on getting it as close to ready as possible!
Please, wish me luck!
Best of luck with your project! There is nothing like the impending arrival of a new baby to motivate.

Oh yay, a nursery! What wonderful motivation for you :) Your poor closet is being neglected, so much great storage space there. Are you able to add a closet organizer? You can usually find them for around 60-70 dollars at places like Target and Walmart. Thanks for participating!!
