S.p.a.c.e

What?? At first when I read about this, I thought, of course I need space. That's my major problem. One I can't change just yet. But then the more I read the more it made sense.

Its an organizing method called S-P-A-C-E which was developed by Julie Morgenstern who is a veteran in the organizing industry.
Space is a method that helps organize using 5 systematic steps:
Sort
Purge
Assess
Containerize
Equalize.
Let's see if this does me any good.

My Dream Closet

If money (an space) were no object, this is what my closet would look like. I have high hopes on a mediocre budget. I wish I could just hire someone to make this happen.
On a major search for this to become a reality!!! (making my closet look decent, not the hiring someone to do it part... Where's the fun in that?)

Next project.

The next project has got to be my closet. I had shelving in there, but one day the weight became too much and it fell. So I put up temporary storage but that too has failed me. So annoying.
Let me be honest. I do have a slight shopping habit so I may go a little far with my wardrobe. And since moving to this house, I don't have a washer and dryer in my house. So I can't do laundry as often as I would like. Soooo I buy more clothes. Great method, right? Wrong! Because when I do eventually get to the laundry, I have to put it away. And that's when I realize I have way too many clothes.
My other problem is many come in but not much gets thrown out. You see, that's what happens when you only wear something once. You don't want to get rid of it because it's practically brand new. But where can I put it!!
Next mission: Operation Organize Clothes. But before that: Operation Donate!!! Here goes nothing.
I'm literally drowning in clothes.
This is going to be harder than it sounds.

The beginning

So my first task is to make a list of all the things I want to change, what needs to be organized, and what needs to be cleaned. So here's where my search begins.

 I OBVIOUSLY can't put together this list myself (or else my house wouldn't be in the condition it is in now) so I will gather a few templates that I find online *going straight to Pinterest*I will link you guys to a few of them before I decide on which one ones I choose!

Chaos


This is not my original art, but it describes the chaos I feel because of the clutter!
Today, I decided to get my life back together. Well, not so much my life as my house, and not so much today as ALWAYS. I can't function with all this clutter anymore. I always knew that life would be so much easier if things were more put together, if everything had a home and a purpose in my life. So this is the start of the journey.
This is a project I decided to start thanks to some amazing pins I have seen on *Pinterest* I have seen things on there that inspire me, and give me great ideas to get it all together. So here goes!!
