Day 79: Flush
We have two bathroom closets, and both are in pretty bad shape. I tackled the downstairs one first, because I’m still a little overwhelmed by the thought of taking on the upstairs bathroom. There’s a whole lot of nothing in … Continue reading
Day 75: De-escalate
OK, bad pun, I know. The stairs down to the basement are completely and utterly cluttered with junk. Yes, it’s where the recycling goes, and yes, those quick to reach tools live on these shelves as well– but this space … Continue reading

Day 34: Excavate
Today it’s another small step–and one that I have tackled before–the overflowing cabinet of storage containers… and the deep-reach cave of kitchen cooking weirdness. I am always spilling out plastic storage containers onto the floor every time I go digging … Continue reading
Day 30: Dine
