#60. Organize Pre-Move Treasures By Room - Progress

This has been on my list for weeks and weeks, before the 100 List even existed. We've been collecting stuff for our new home over the last few months because I think it's smarter to buy stuff before we move and I only want to fill our house with stuff we (I) love rather than buying something just because we need it as soon as possible and only being something we kind of like.

So when I first moved in, we hurriedly shoved two bins and a Christmas tree under the stairs and then barricaded them in with a shelf, a couch and side table. This is the main reason it's taken me so long to start. I needed some sort of running start to work up the energy to make this happen.

Somehow I woke up with it and didn't waste any time. Of course I forgot to take a picture of how my living room looked pre-hurricane.

Once the couch and table were moved out of the way, I started slowing pulling the shelf out. And because I'm stubborn and lazy, I left most of the stuff on it for easier clean up. This step took the longest because I was scared of discovering spiders. Actually. 

Once I got a good solid workout in, I finally pulled my bins out.

After the bins were out and I had sufficiently destroyed my living room, I started organizing our treasures by room: loft, guest room, kitchen, bathroom.  

The guest bedroom was the biggest amount of stuff, so I got that into a bin right away.

The next was the kitchen stuff. I've only got half of the bin filled right now but I know I have a delivery coming from Anthropologie that will also be going in this bin so I'm not inclined to pack it away just yet.  

It's time for a serious lunch break and to find out if the package delivered was in fact my Anthro goods. Worst comes to worse, I will put that bin closer to the front so it's easier for the next round of packing. So far I don't have a home for the bathroom or loft items but I'm sure I'll want to get this project done soon so I'll find a way.

One step closer to my organized sanity.
