Oh, let's take a pre-cleaning moment to congratulate Maxwell for:
- OMG, an Intro! With Soundtrack!
- Titles in the Video! Now we know where they belong even later!
- Using a mic! So much clear voice all the time!

And again, great humor... The videos are improving each day, JUST LIKE MY HOUSE! :D

I have a visitor coming on Wednesday, so I guess this will be a deeper cleaning with more than 20 minutes. But I will think of the Monkey!

Now, important question:
Does the air purifier also helps like a humidifier does? Can I get a purifier and forget the humidifier? I don't want to have both in the bedroom...


Day 6: Clean One Room
The 20/20 Home Cure

10/25/10 10:12 AM

Didn't even realize, but I have an outbox (actually an Ikea blue bag) full with clothes. I am in my first week in the apartment cure book and I think I started all this because I need a change and this new apartment is completely full of stuff and it doesn't fit. I could try to make it fit, but we always want new things in our lives, right?

I completely agree with the ones that say that a house is the picture of its owner. Lots of books and things are the signs of a life that is being lived, but, at the same time, a life that has too much... Too much on the table, on the desk, on the sofa, in the closets, in the kitchen... No clean surfaces, no space for new things... The new things end up in the floor and that is just horrible!

I am trying to get rid of things. My husband loves his things. Has lots of difficulty in parting with objects. specially books... HAS SO SO MANY BOOKS! And we are in our twenties! (finishing, but still).

I have SO MANY QUESTIONS on organizing our things. On thinking the new space and thinking about how to arrange a tiny living room for us to relax, spend time together, get work done in a desk, and eat a meal together all in one space.

Does anyone has ideas on how to organize yourself not to repeat the cluttering all over again and arrange your new clean surfaces?


How To Declutter Your Home

Ahhh!!!! I just did it! I cleaned the kitchen, as my livingroom is now full with moving boxes and I feel very sad to try to clean it. It needs a much-longer-than-20-minutes clean right now. But not the kitchen! It is clean now and there are open clean surfaces there! My goal is to have one just like your island one day. I need lots of training for this.

This was a great and well-done video! I really liked the tips and it motivated me a lot.

I just completed my survey in the book and will go through the questions with my husband too, for us to seat down and talk about what do we want with our living room that needs to be a relaxing, dinning, writing, and working space... Let's see what we come up with and then I will start the CURE!

Thanks for this 20/20 great start!
