Bookshelf, Not perfect but done, and as good as it's going to get till I get some more assorted organisey stuff.

Living room

Front door. With In and Out trays and a spot for keys and D's wallet (that light brown boxy thing), inside this cupboard are shoes, hats, and my handbag.

Living area and front entrance... done! Bookshelf - reorganised! Now on to the kitchen while the kids are still out of the house..

Since my last idea of breaking everything up seems to have worked so well, I will do the same for the kitchen, though there isn't too much to do as it seems to have stayed reasonably tidy from my last blitz..
1. Countertop shelves - remove everything, sort through and replace only what is needed
2. Tea towel drawer - remove everything, get rid of the ugly ones, make note if needed to buy more
3. Benches (one at a time)- sort everything. EVERYTHING!! Refill coffee and sugar containers, make note to replace with ones that will fit on the countertop shelves (remember to measure). Wipe benches
4. Wipe down cupboard doors, put dishes away and clean sink.
5. Make cuppa, take photos, and blog away LOL.

This is actually becoming quite addictive..

And while I'm at it, tonight when the kids are in bed and D is watching cricket, I need to:
1. Do some filing
2. Sort through recipes and magazines, keeping only the articles I will need
3. Sort the drawers in the bedroom

I'm also kidlet free tomorrow as I have my driving test, so may get started on the girls room.. Just so they can have the chance to trash it again....will post photos later of what it actually looks like now, and maybe get some ideas of how to make it work better!

Under sink cupboard Before...

And after.

Also the area under the microwave before..

And the whole kitchen after. Only took around 20 minutes

Can't seem to stop getting sidetracked...

Ok, so I started on the living area (again, since K & B followed me around taking things back out!), and now I have an organised junk drawer in the kitchen, a load of washing on, a reasonably tidy bedroom, and not much done in the living area at all!
It seems that I'm finding reasons not to do it, as I HATE tidying in there. Girls are at Nannas and creche, so it really is the perfect time to do it, but no. Can't get motivated!

So here's what I'm going to do, I'll break it down into smaller parts, since the living room is actually a combined living, dining, playing area and is very very big. So here goes nothing
1. Move box full of toys from middle of floor. Put toys in Playroom.
2. Fold washing, and put away
3. Do ironing, and put away
4. Finish painting wall
5. Put shoes and clothes to be given away in bedroom wardrobe. Make note to deal with them on Saturday
6. Put baby carseat in hallway cupboard until needed
7. Vacuum couches and put cushions back on
8. Clean dining table, including placemats. stack neatly. Make note to find a nice, low fruit bowl for the middle of the table. Also to check out bigger tables and pricing.
9. Move rug to cover change in the floor
10. Remove everything from mantlepiece, and dust
11. Move ugly hated mirror, replace with large photo frame.
