For my wear-again clothes I have a great full-length mirror that has a valet bar behind it, so the mirror sticks out about a foot from the wall, and you can hang clothes behind it. i admit, I usually just drape them over. it's fantastic, since you can't really see the clothes form the rest if the room because the mirror hides them. No idea where to buy one; it came with the house

Hmm. This one will have to wait a few days. Our big project has completely messed up the house, and I can't even reach the bookshelves right now. We don't have very many, but the problem right now is my work books. They're taking over!

Got more than half the cupboards deep-cleaned and purged before DH pulled me into his big project: an attic reno that consumed the rest of the weekend and spread dust ALL over my nice clean floors! Oh, well - he's building me more much-needed storage space.

Cooking did not happen...pizza, pizza, and supermarket chicken, but we have plans for a nice dinner tonight.

Jumping in last night, I got way more done than I was expecting to. I tried viewing cleaning as a 'workout' and tried to move fast enough to get my heart rate up. That worked, and I didn't dawdle or get distracted as easily. So, ready for another early morning kitchen 'workout' - off I go!

I have the opposite problem with my kitchen floors: they're this strange mottled grey, purposely pitted tile (on my long-term list of things to replace...not my style!). The things is, they NEVER look dirty. They hide an incredible amount of disgusting stickiness. Once my seven-year-old spilled an entire glass of juice in his corner of the kitchen, and "wiped it up" by spreading it around, then didn't tell anyone. I admit, I don't go there...it's his spot. When it came time for my weekend floor wash, and I stepped into that corner...my foot stuck to the floor. I seriously couldn't tell that anything was spilled there, but my floor-cleaning cloth sure showed me when I wiped it up. Yuck,

Putting in an attic access ladder this weekend, as well as upgrading the attic flooring so we can start to use it for storage. In reality, this is a help-my-husband project, but I have been working hard on choosing what can go up into the attic, and what should be stored in the main floor. We don't have a basement, so this extra storage space is going to make a HUGE different to the state of our closets, laundry room, and garden shed.

I'm actually feeling pretty happy about my main room right now - but only because we've just finished all the plans and budgeting for a complete re-do. Now that my (practically) perfect living room is in sight - though it won't be done for a year and a half! - I find that I "see" it as it will be and not how it is right now!

As an only child, I still had bunk beds growing up, though the bottom bed was convertible from a couch to a second bed for sleepovers - my cousins came to stay a lot! I loved it - it made a special area just for sleeping. We used a duvet with cover instead of a top sheet, and just washed the cover each week with the sheets, so it was easier to make, though still a bit if a hassle.

My only child has a high loft bed, which doubles his play space! Maybe because I'm used to the loft, I don't mind climbing for goodnight cuddles. A hood reading light is key!

My dresser is the first thing in my Outbox. Other than socks and underwear, it hasn't had anything in it since we updated our closets. I hid the Christmas presents in there, so now it's empty. I'm going to also declare it my Outbox for a little while, too.
