Well, I've decided to start with the unfinished side of my basement. There is a lot of CLUTTER in that area of my house; and, I think that mess is causing me quite a bit of anxiety. My daughter, Carly, wants her bedroom moved to the basement (the finished part). But, in order to do that, we have to clean out the unfinished part and convert that over to my husband's "man cave" and my youngest daughter's "play room". I CAN DO THIS! I CAN DO THIS! It won't be easy by any means, but the time is now! I also need to build a "walk-in closet" in the basement for ME! This business of having clothes all over the house is for the birds! The buck stops here! :) So, here's my plan... I will start tomorrow with the process of getting all the trash out (Yes, I could totally be featured on the show "Hoarders" ~ very scary thought!). Next, my husband and I will work on getting out big items that we don't use anymore and take them to a friend to be sold (gotta make some money on that junk down there)! Then, we will work on organizing what is left into crates. At this point, we will properly insulate, stud, and drywall the ceilings and walls. Once that's done, we'll put in a new floor and frame out the rooms as they should be. This could easily take the entire year of 2013; but, by Christmas, I promise this task will be done! Of course, I won't be spending all of my time on the basement. But, I am making myself accountable by announcing my plans on my blog! I will post pics as I have them! Please note that my label is about de-cluttering and is concentrated on the basement area. As I de-clutter others areas of my home and life, I will label accordingly!
I look forward to seeing my progress as I venture into this journey! :)
