The Week Ahead

We're in the slow process of Summer cleaning, which includes: minor repairs, re-organizing paint touch ups, etc. We're taking this one room per day, so today Josh and I are splitting up to tackle our individual spaces - me to my study nook and him to tidy the den. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to organize the book collections in the living room.

It's a slow start to freshening up the house, but sometimes starting slow helps build better momentum, I've found.

The Re-Org Program - Day One

My study nook (aka Room of Beauty) has been re-organized, dusted, cleared out and primped a bit. Which is a hell of a lot more work than it sounds typing it up.

For those new to the Inn, there's a very small room off the master bedroom which we've always struggled to find a use for. So far it's done double duty as a bed chamber, a library, a meditation room and has now morphed into a combination dressing room and home office for me. Which basically means the old Watchtower desk, respective bureaus, printer stand and a small bookshelf for my Psych books are now tucked away inside. I've had Josh put up a cork board for my use, too. I will admit that even after I bought cutie-patootie thumb tacks for it, I rarely use it. But I plan to!

The Den/Guest room is still looking like a cyclone hit it. Hopefully Josh will be able to tame that nightmare by dinner time, not sure which day though. Meanwhile, me and the dogs are hiding out in the study listening to NPR.
