Wednesday, I posted about my favorite room in our home. Yes, we use it and the boys do go in there. The slipcovers are a washable canvas. I’ve had the set since August and haven’t had to wash it yet. I picked the paint colors from a site on HGTV.com called Rate My Space. The colors are from the Ralph Lauren Collection mixed in Behr Paint.

One of the reasons I love that room is there is no clutter. No stuff, no excess, very serene. I am working on making my whole house streamlined. Yesterday, I decided that we have a TON of books just sitting on our shelves. No one is reading them and someone could be enjoying them. They are going to the public library. There are books on potty training, house training a dog, planning a trip to Disney. You name it we probably have it, but we don’t need it any more.

I follow Unclutterer it is a funny and informative site. Some of the things they talk about that are wrong I have done thinking they would help me deal with clutter, but they only make it worse. I am determined this is my year to streamline my systems and conquer this.

Please understand my house does not need to be nominated for Hoarders, but I need to get rid of some things, make sure everything has a permanent home, and toss duplicates. Too much of a good thing is still too much.

I will share with you as I work through this process of streamlining my home and my schedule.
