It’s time for our second challenge of the year! I thought it might be fun this year to start off with some challenges to help us all get organized, and make managing our homes just a wee bit easier! I used to do these regularly with a group of friends of mine and the camaraderie and accountability really helped. Each Tuesday I’ll post different assignments in our challenges and I hope you will join us! (Need to catch up? See previous posts in this series HERE).
ASSIGNMENT 6: the Living Room
Whew! We are finally on the part of the challenge where we start going room by room! This is the part that will feel like you are accomplishing something!
I start with the living room, because generally, a) that’s the easiest, b) you might need the space to start organizing those “stations” we talked about earlier, and c) if you’re anything like me, you need an easy assignment because you are already behind and need some time to catch up. (Don’t worry, I tried to build several assignments like this in, just so we all CAN catch up and make it through!)
For me, the Living Room is the easiest room in the house to prep. Because I try to keep my house partially company ready, the living room is the main room that is always “ready.” I won’t have too much that I will have to do in my living room. Books and board games will be the main focus for me here.
The other thing I deal with in our living room is knick-knacks and picture frames. Because this house is SO SMALL, there is a large stack of knick-knacks that I never found space for and pictures I never hung up on the walls. Time to reevaluate those items. Are they worth repacking again, if I haven’t missed them by now? Or are some of these items, while dust catchers, still things that will make our new place feel like “home?”
When your home is constantly changing, “home” is a powerful need that cannot be marginalized. And not an easy decision sometimes.
Coming up next will be the craft/hobby area of your home. Get ready!
