I've been laughing my way through this thread. :lol:
Five years ago, most of my house looked like the pictures you've generously posted for us. It's amazing how the clutter, collecting and lack of organization can sneak up on you.
One day, you look around and think, "hmmm, i really need to do something about this." At some point later, you look around and think, "omigosh! how am i ever going to get all of this cleaned up and organized?". I used to walk around (ok ... climb through) the mess with the sincere intent of getting started. But once it gets that far out of control, you can't even figure out where or how to start. I'd give up and close the doors to those rooms. :|
I finally saved up and paid somebody to ruthlessy pull out and haul off everything i didn't have a specific use for. if it didn't go to the dump, it went to charity.
I discovered floors, walls, furniture ... all sorts of things i'd forgotten i had. Took a few sidetrips down Memory Lane, too.
My reaction? I'm proud of you. I'm happy for you. I'm hopeful for you. And I can't wait to see the results.
Keep showing us pics of your progress. Every little bit counts and inspires you to keep going. :-)
Hundreds of :thumbup: and Hugs to you!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
