Tackling All Over the Place

This room is our "Catch All" room. Anything that is coming in gets parked here. Anything that needs to go out gets parked here. Anything that is going nowhere gets parked here.

With school starting on Wednesday, I really needed to get this area organized. A well-organized entry to your home, helps the whole home run a little better. I think it turned out pretty good. Don't you think?

    Looks great! It feels so much better when the entryway is clean.

    I want to tackle our school room for part of our first day of school. Horse lessons are first on the schedule.

    Oh that makes such a huge difference! I always like it when I walk in and the first thing I see is neat... of course I like it best when EVERYTHING I see is neat :)

    Ah. Success! It looks great!!

    We don't have a breezeway or a mudroom, but we do have a room (I never know what to call it) that totally gets trashed all the time.

    Great tackle!!

    Thanks for commenting on my tackle.

    It was your tackle this morning that got me motivated. With school starting here tomorrow I realized I had a ton of laundry and some organizing that needed to be done. So I thank you for getting me moving.

    wonderful. So when are you coming over to my house. Just kidding. But doesn't it make you feel so much better when you walk in the room.

    Can you come to my house? I need to tackle my daughter's drawers and mine too. I have more space than I know what to do with now that we've got our new bedroom set. Thanks for commenting. I always enjoy hearing from you.
