My Massive Re-Organization, the Final Finish

I've written about cleaning and painting the laundry room for some time. It's also a large storage area for us. We moved into our small ranch three years ago with two house holds of item and many treasures that I inherited from my grandparents. I had a very trying ten years. To say the least, my 30s were not the easiest. Some great things happend, my husband, reunited with my mother, my dogs, and my current teaching position. But along with that there was a lot of sarrow and pain. Consequently, I had a very difficult time making a home. On the surface it was decorated well enough, but behind the scenes, my emotions and my home were in diarray. I've know for three years, that things needed to change, but it took a lot of energy to do it. This summer was the time for me. I had read a really good book about clutter and the stress it can cause... I was living proof. I hated doing laudry, but never had a pretty place to do it, that's now much improved. I love creating and crafts, but my craft room looked like a rumage sale. I would make small gains and then quit. I can now say with great pride that things are in much more control. Things have a place and a place for the things. It's such a good feeling. Pictures to come...We had the carpets shampooed Sat. in the family room, so I have some finishing touches to complete. I hightly recommend this book: It was a great source of insight and help to me. Clear the Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston
Karen Kingston also has a wed site that appears to be really helpful. Please check it out and tell me what you think. http://spaceclearing.com/html/books/books/clear-your-clutter-with-feng-shui.html
Please note: I do not follow Feng Shui, and this book was still very meaningful! It's an easy quick read.
