I usually start in one area and since I couldn't use my dining room table. It was the best place to start. Sometimes it is hard to stay focused( ie when I put something away like a toy, I realize how messy the playroom is and then begin cleaning that instead of finishing the room I had started in.) and I end up getting frustrated because it feels like the job is never ending. Since my house is small, I don't really have any place to put things as I am going through them. So reorganizing can be frustrating until I have time to take stuff to the goodwill or trash is picked up. So, usually I try to do any major stuff the day before trash day to limit any extra headache. Here are some before and after (sorry mom, I know it will embarrass you).

Join in . . .
The Thrifty Decor Chic is having a organizing/declutter party. And I am joining in. I have to get the house ready to sell anyway, so I thought it would be fun to join.

Looks good!!
It always feels good to me to have everything in its place. You are off to a good start to get the house ready to sell.
Great job :)
My twins do the same thing. They put empty boxes back into the pantry or empty containers back into the fridge. Im working on my pantry right now and I threw away so many empty containers. I dont have as much food as I thought I had LOL
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog!
Now that's what I need to do, my kitchen cupboards...well it's hard to know what's in them ;)
You've done a great job!!
I hate all those boxes!! If I could put everything in containers I would!! :)
