I tend to focus on life lessons and changes but there is more when it comes to ReVamping your life. For instance, I love being organized! The Container Store was invented by and for people like me! Type A personality, everything has its place and there is a place for everything type thinking.
Moving into my small apartment I had to be creative on ways to organize and store. I bought a couch that had an attached chaise. The chaise pops open and you can store things in the bin underneath. I also have drawer bins under my bed, hooks on the inside of my kitchen cabinets hold my pot tops and I turned a three cabinet storage unit into my pantry.
Though I have everything I need in my apartment my old room at my parents house still has tons of stuff! I have most of my crafting and baking supplies there. Also, my prom dresses and all of my 'going out on the town' dresses with stilettos to match! I have beach bags, handbags, and clutches, more regular clothing, books, DVDs, pictures still hanging on the walls. My desk is filled with papers, phone wires, nick-knacks, magazines and so on. Now, this does not include everything I have in the basement! I have my photo albums, memory boxes filled with yearbooks, my sweet 16 tiara, my first doll and stuffed animal, cast boards from my high school drama club days, teen bop posters, favorite cards received from holidays and birthdays, and more! Along with other bins and bags containing holiday decor, most of which I crafted myself over the years. My mom is under the impression once my fiance and I move in together all of this stuff is coming with me...isn't she funny? I know people may think I am a pack rat, I prefer to think of it more as these things have sentimental value to me. There are times where I will sit and go through my old stuff and laugh about old memories with a friend or my family. At the end of the day, I have a ton of stuff!!
My Mission: Purge everything I do not need and have not used in the past 6 months! Deadline: New Year 2015!!
First Step: Getting Rubbermaid bins!
