When I get back...

I have some SERIOUS spring cleaning to do!
I just didn't realize how much stuff I still have yet to do to my Apartment and to clean out of my apartment.

Like when I was searching for the Chacos and found that random Wallaby, where did that random Wallaby come from?
And Why is it hidden behind the old TV I still have sitting in the closet?

Sometimes I talk myself out of purging, getting organized and getting things done.
It just seems to be too much effort and once I dive in it becomes overwhelming to me.

But I think If I pushed the overwhelming-ness to the side and really got organized before taking on a revamp and made a plan, I would feel refreshed, unstressed and accomplished.

I already made the committment to 'spring clean' my eating and exercising when I get back from Honduras.
And here is what I need to do to 'Spring clean' my apartment.

Bathroom:
I have a teeny tiny sink with no counter space.
I need one of these:
(found here)


To go on the side of the sink to store all of my products.

I need to clean out the bathroom closet. I have so many products that I NEVER use that just need to go!

Guest Bedroom:
GaGeez! I have so much to do for this room.
I need:
A comforter for the bed
Shams for the bed
Curtains
And to have the chair recovered.
I also need to get rid of the TV in the closet.
(Liz would any of your ST peeps want it?)

Bedroom:
I need a bed.
I have a frame
just not an actual bed.


Living Room
I need to have a chair recovered. Anyone know any good, affordable upholsterers in Bham?
I need to invest in a nice rug at some point.
I mean the one I have is ok but it is wearing out quickly
I should probably paint my side tables and get new hardware for them.


Kitchen:
Well I need a kitchen rug
Shelves above the stove and washer and dryer
Curtains
And I think I want to have my buffet painted but I am too scared to do it myself.


So there is my list.
I will takle it one room and item at a time.
First the bathroom.
It seems to be the simplest.





Peace,
