Decluttering and the Master Bedroom #1

Last week I showed how I organised a space dedicated to my Project Life. I actually managed to even start completing the start of a title page...think that would be easier to do at the end of the year a a 2 page layout about our fishing at the Marina with the kids. It was easy and I really enjoyed it after all the initial angst about getting it done right!

Well since then I have managed to keep that space working just as that, but have moved around the room and am about half way through decluttering what is stashed in our master bedroom.

I cleaned out my husbands cupboard, and found all the missing clothes he couldn't find. I believe he is an adult he can put his own clothes away...but after cleaning it out again think its time I took that job back. Putting shorts in one place and T-shirts in another is just too hard! I do hate seeing him put a shirt on that I know I ironed and doesn't look ironed now!

I cleaned off the top of our chest of drawers where I have my jewellery and hair things, and now have my makeup because of my absolutely darling little girl has developed a makeup obsession! Especially lipstick! We have a tiny ensuite which just cant cope with any things in it!

Not a great photo...but this is the Mascara Incident!

Yesterday it was lovely and cool and I thought I would sort a plastic tub I had which had photos, negatives and some memorabilia. Most of it had been put in this tub at least 8 years ago!

This is the before...and there was another large photo album on top so the lid wouldn't close.

After...waiting for more photo boxes.

I put my photos into envelopes and label them, so that they are easy to find and it keeps like photos together. I have lots more photos to sort but have started!

Really was just the other day!

Now I need to go to Ikea. I'm using the DVD boxes to store my photos and need a couple more!

Then today I got on top of our wardrobes...with the dust! {"Puff" Insert Ventolin inhaler here!} Love it when you find things that may have been lost. I found the Lego harvester in pieces that my son and husband having been looking everywhere for. Must've been put up there when it was broken to be worked on without helpers. I found some lovely glasses and a race car money box that I had bought at some time to have on hand if I needed some presents. (Really hard to get nice presents sometimes around here, if your invited somewhere at the last minute!)

So now I have some space for storing some more tubs or thinking our winter rugs! And when I lay in bed the mess wont bother me anymore.

So half way through, think I have finally convinced Rich that we need at least a new bed frame. I need some more photo storage and really need some under bed tubs for shoes! The joys of living here mean I need to be patient. We are going to Perth in two weeks so I will keep writing my list!
