After 3½ Years, It Might Actually Get Done

I'm psyching myself up for a big declutter project today.

We purposely bought this house because it had four bedrooms and there are five of us (thankfully, two are adults and share). But on moving day, we kind of just shoved a bunk bed into the front room and claimed the fourth bedroom as our gym/junk room. It has remained that way ever since.

It was okay for the first couple of years. Boof and Moo get along pretty good despite being brother and sister and Boof just accepted the purple wallpaper as a fact of life and eventually ignored it (it's a very girly room). But in the last year, the cracks began to show. They're 8½ and 7 now, a bit old to be sharing when there's a perfectly good room down the hall.

It's time folks. It's time.

The kids are at their grandparents until Friday - the perfect time to switch things around as a surprise. But to get to that point we first have to uber-declutter and that means making snap decisions. We are not good at snap decisions. Hence a room full of odds and ends and boxes of old clothes! We made a small start yesterday, dropping off three bags of clothes and various small household items to the Salvation Army. But there's so much to do.

Nothing to do but dive in!
