Ha ha, I knew the other tasks during the week this week were too enjoyable! That's ok; I am especially looking forward to decluttering small gadgets and cookware.

I have always hated #3. Still do.

Well... I think I will hang my large Elfa shelves in my living room space and get all my books off the floor and onto the shelves! I haven't yet painted the living room, but might not do that for a while yet anyway. Piles of books lining the wall are cluttering up my life. I will Outbox any books that I'm not still in love with - but I love books and have been pretty thorough in purging my collection throughout several moves, so that number may be quite small.

I LOVE flowers. I might keep them in the nook in the Extra Long Hallway, which I pass about 100 times a day, and make a smaller bouquet or even just a couple blooms in the bathroom to cheer it up.

Side note: my dad always has flowers at home, and did even when he was a single man for 10+ years, and I always found it really cheerful and sweet.

Cleaning, yes. Ok!

Thank you, Griffin!

OK, not sure I will really be able to keep up, but I'm going to try. I "just" moved into this space 5 months ago and have done almost no decorating and haven't finished unpacking; new job is all-consuming! It's a rental apartment with all the challenges that come with that, along with being a very odd shape / size, and having a really strange extra-long hallway that is a product of it being in a large old home that has been chopped up into apartments.

Here's my edited list:

Side Entry:
- Er, move the filing cabinet that ended up in the middle of the hallway to a new spot (but where?!)
- Make a landing spot for keys and small items
- Pretty up the wall facing the door so I have something cheerful to come home to

Bedroom:
- Paint the walls
- Install a light in the closet
- Hang artwork
- Ebay / Donate old / underused clothes, shoes & accessories
- Figure out better storage for t-shirts and sweaters

Den:
- Install Elfa bookshelves stat!
- Reconfigure furniture - something about it isn't working
- Get a sofa table or coffee table

Extra Long Hallway:
- Paint?
- Hang artwork

Bathroom:
- install towel rack
- hang wire utility basket
- replace Venetian blind with a pretty curtain or shade
- Hang artwork

Nook in Extra Long Hallway:
- make better use of corner bookshelf there
- Hang artwork

Kitchen:
- Get a full sized garbage can!
- Donate / recycle stuff left behind by previous occupant / stuff I don't use
- Phase out old litter box / use new litter box
- Get and install magnetic knife rack

Pantry:
- install long curtain so I don't have to see its contents all the time / or one of those European long fringe things (where can I get one of those?)
- buy wine rack
- Recycle / throw out / control packing materials that got crammed in there.

I have a birthday in early February, so I'd love to make some progress and be able to invite people over! Just this week I *finally* took down the hideous Venetian blinds in the bedroom and put up curtain rods & curtains, and moved all the unpacked boxes into one corner behind the door, opening up an exercise / meditation space in the bedroom. But somehow my filing cabinet ended up in the middle of the hallway as part of that, so yeah.
