Tackle It Tuesday # 9: The Guest Room

Some people have junk drawers, some people have junk closets, some people, like my friend, Bridget jokes, have junk tables.  But I have a secret weapon in the war against clutter, it's called the guest room.  When people come over, I just throw all my junk into it and lock the door.

This week I cleaned it out, we will see how long this lasts.  At least, I took pictures so I can remember how it looked.

Great job, Mary! I need help in my basement...

wow that looks like mine, only I have about 40 dolls to get rid of and not sure how. Anyone know of a doll collector? Also I have lots of 'stuff' not hoarded but placed in that poor spare bedroom. That definately is on my TO GET DONE list for the fall.

Stephanie,
I m so thankful that our children will get to know each other!
I love you, my friend. We can't wait to see you all.

Saturday is the Tackle It day in our household. One of my betes noir is the constant purchases from Amazon that arrive in cardboard boxes. The boxes are then left all over the house -- on the kitchen table, in my sewing room, at the front door -- wherever someone opened the package. And they seem too useful to just recycle them right away. Eventually I do recycle them, after a shorter or longer ripening period for them to really get on my nerves.

Your results were very impressive! The After bedroom looks beautiful.
