Purging

We inherited some bedroom furniture from Ryan's grandmother. A year after repainting and using the two bedside dressers, I finally finished repainting the matching dresser. It was a challenge to get upstairs and my old dresser has just been sitting in the open room upstairs for about a month. 

Well, I was productive today. The first thing I tackled was a corner of my bedroom. It has been piled with 90% of the contents of my vanity and other random things. I bit the bullet and threw out all of my old makeup and got rid of trash in general. My corner isn't perfect but it's on it's way. The vanity also needs to be sanded and painted. Another project for another time. 

After that, I decided to take care of the open room. My old dresser was placed so that there was only enough space to walk through. There are also storage bins that were randomly in the middle of the area. The dresser and bins were pushed to the perimeter and straightened up a bit. Done for now. There's floor space!

The last job I did today that still isn't complete is unpacking my car. I was hoping I wouldn't have to and I was inches away from not needing to but circumstances changed. My car was packed to the brim. The only thing open was the drivers seat. The passenger and back seats and floors are all clear now. The trunk is next. This is probably why I cleaned the open room up. Shhh... Don't tell anyone. 

A couple days ago, I cleared out my old dresser drawers of clothes I don't wear and had no real hope of fitting into again. 

I'm working on trying to simplify and minimize. 

Wish me luck.
