Time for another post in the Master Bedroom Saga! I know. I missed putting one up last week. So here's my excuse (insert 31 Days of Excuses plug here): I was busy. And life trumps blogging. But now I'm back with a new post and webisode in the series. If you're new, you should probably catch up by reading (and watching) posts one, two, … [Read more...]
Decluttering: The Master Bedroom Saga Part Five (Getting EVERYthing Out!)
Part five was on day three. Which shows how big this project really was. (If you're reading by email, click here to see the webisode.) In my journal, I wrote: Yesterday helped me see that it IS possible to get through this project.But today, I struggle with the donwannas. This work is physical.

Master Bedroom Saga: Part 4 (The Dresser . . . Again)
You know the master bedroom is actually done now, right? I'm just holding my breath that it will stay done until I've finished posting this saga . . . I worked like crazy on it for two weeks straight, not taking the time to edit videos or write. Now that I'm writing/editing and sharing . . . I've come to a few places that don't match … [Read more...]
Organization Products (And Why They Scare Me)
I have a phobia of organizing products. It was a late-onset phobia that developed in my mid-thirties. Right around the same time that my delusions that I would become organized once I became a true grown-up started to reveal themselves as . . . delusions. Y'know. Since I was in my mid-thirties and could no longer deny that I was a grown … [Read more...]
Master Bedroom Saga: Part Three (Nony Gets Discouraged)
It's time for part three of the Master Bedroom Saga. In the journal, part three really started on the first day. After I'd come up with a plan and finished with the easy stuff. After the easy stuff comes the hard stuff. Blech. Here's what I wrote in my journal while in the midst of this horrible, terrible, very bad decluttering … [Read more...]

The Master Bedroom Saga: Part One
I know. I find it difficult to believe as well. I'm talking about my master bedroom again. Here's the thing. We did pretty well during the summer on the house as a whole. So far from perfect, but we were able to have friends over without it being a huge production. But . . . when people did come over . . . things got shoved in the master … [Read more...]
Cut Off from My Safety Net
No, my dear gutter-minded reader, that is not a scarf hanging on the doorknob for the stereotypical sitcom reasons. (We have a lock for that.) The scarf was hanging on the door because yesterday afternoon, Hubby wasn't feeling well and needed to rest. At the same time, I was busy picking up the house for home groups last night, and had to … [Read more...]
90 Minute Master Bedroom Transformation
Ninety Minutes. That's it. Just 90 minutes. After that much time (an hour and twenty-five minutes and eleven-point-seven seconds), my master bedroom looked like this: Maybe that seems like a lot of time considering the fact that the dresser is still piled with stuff. Just wait. I'll show you the … [Read more...]
