Last year we created a home office in our hall closet, inspired by your blog but I never finished it up, stuff just got thrown in. Now it is clean, tidy, organised and we have even more space in our teeny tiny office. Next purchase will be some sort of cork of sheet metal board and I think I'll be done :) Thank you for the constant inspiration, you're a doll!Chewing Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763781997663775084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-54390624511413709412013-01-09T13:01:54.031-06:002013-01-09T13:01:54.031-06:00Yes!

I was just thinking this morning that I have to tackle my "office space" we live in a raised ranch and my office (third bedroom) became my newborn daughters nursery. I had to find a place for all of the stuff elsewhere in a house without a lot of storage or separate office space. <br /> I bought an armouire from IKEA which now houses my computer etc that I can close the doors on when not in use (in my upstairs living area). Still have a lot of purging to do and a filing cabinet taking up space. Also got a large bookcase to have an area for books ( also in living area). My goal for the month is to file a bag of papers I have sitting around and also streamline the armouire and bookcase to be more aesthetically pleasing. stacinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-39603355882740114022013-01-09T12:34:29.896-06:002013-01-09T12:34:29.896-06:00Great timing.

We didn't have a designated space for mail/bills/planning other than a sad little bin on the side of our fridge alongside or calendar and Peek at the Week... so I have been really excited to put together a command station. We purged in November, and purged again after the holidays... it'll be so nice to start out with just the essentials!Elizabeth D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10209861970288841683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-47362414869731393392013-01-09T12:29:59.137-06:002013-01-09T12:29:59.137-06:00I LOVE home organization...love how it looks, am o...I LOVE home organization...love how it looks, am obsessed with checking out other people's methods etc. You likely already are aware of this but in case not, here goes....Thirty One is an excellent tool for organization and HOME/OFFICE organization is their focus & customer special this month... were talking 1/2 off type of special!

Our home office is our 3rd bedroom in our home and it's the dumping ground for everything we don't know what to do with. I have to find a way to get started in there and take everything out and start over again. It really is the best idea. I do have a desk/Expedit system in there from IKEA, so that is step 1. Plus I already have a filing system in place {just need to file}. Anything else is fair game to be purged, garbage or donate. Hopefully I can get it done by the end of the month....because I can barely walk in that room anymore that is how bad it is. {blushing} As always thank you for the inspiration!!!Jen @ The Decor Scenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03093066268349843938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-43302586876381138632013-01-08T12:19:05.328-06:002013-01-08T12:19:05.328-06:00Love your site; it's really inspirational and ...Love your site; it's really inspirational and motivating. I'm holding off on joining in on your challenge right now because we are in the process of changing all of our rooms around in our home (to give the kids their own rooms). However, I do have a question; we're planning a vacation and I was wondering if you have any vacation planning printables. I tried the internet, but I just get the actual vacation planning; but I'm looking for something more like a to do list of things before leaving (like clean out the refrigerator, take out trash, that sort of thing).

I started by ordering your 2013 planner and I am so excited. I added in your daily goals sheet and between the daily goals and the meal planner I am noticing an immediate impact. I feel less stressed about whats for dinner and feel a HUGE sense of accomplishment as I check off my daily to do's! I even put a stick note on the fridge with the dinner menu for the week and the kids LOVE IT!! Now onto the office we go! My husband works from home and we share the space....we are so motivated to get things in order so the space works for both of our needs! We are up for the challenge and are so excited to see everyone's fabulous ideas! You are such an inspiration!! Thank you for the monthly challenge! Alison Mom of 4noreply@blogger.com
