I really want to change a large number of things in my house but every weekend I don't seem to have a plan on what to do, SO I have decided to put everything in a single blog so here is a list of all the areas in my house that I want to do something with.
Computer desk - this is a dumping ground all the time and I want to clean it up so that there are not computer and video and PS2 and PS3 and PSP etc games on it all the time.
Childrens toy area - WOW with so much lego and toy trains and dolls houses and books floating around this is a continual mess and I really want to do something with it so that it can all be seen and all be played with when they want to. I also want to stop people putting stuff on the chair all the time and they then have to sit on the floor (see the legs in the bottom right of the screen).
And from another angle
As you walk in through our front door there is heaps of shoes on the left - 6 people in our family plus all of the childrens friends means that we end up with lots of shoes. I want to also look at making this area into a place that the children can put their school bags and school books etc, a bit like a mini command centre of some type.
Currently the school bags live in this long thing that is in front of you as you walk in the door but the bags are getting too big for it and it just collects rubbish so I would like to get rid of that and have a little shelf of some description instead (that is once hubby has put the wall back up!).
Kitchen bench is another dumping ground as well, including my hand bag so need to find somewhere for that too.
In the dining room we have a lovely cabinet that holds our good china but it collects things on top. We have a lot of ornaments from our various international students that are currently hidden underneath all this junk. I want to show them off so I will be looking for a nice shelf to go on the wall and that painting of pears has to GO!
Our bedroom has a huge big wardrobe but it seems to be holding a whole lot of things that are not clothes so we need to clean this out too.
On that note I am going to go and start doing some looking at solutions to my problems and hopefully in the blogs to come I can tell you all how my low (or no) money solutions help to fix our household problems.
