Organizing Spree: Before & After Pics!

[GourmetGirl]

So many of you have been reading about my cleaning/organizing spree that I have been on the last 3 days... I thought I would post the almost final pictures (I only have a few small things to change, such as putting some stuff in plastic storage containers that I need to buy...)

Here are the other few...

Nice. I wish I had a space just for PC

 

[chef_kimmo]

Ok, now that I looked at your photos - back to work for me.

I hope someday I can post mine with a totally organized room.

GREAT JOB! I am sure you feel very satisfied.

Great space Alison!! I've been thinking about taking pictures of my space to show new comers in our cluster. They are so worried about not having enough space to do the business. For those like me that use a corner in my bedroom it can be done. I use a roll top desk that has three drawers, a three-tier file folder rack, bulletin board above desk, and a travel file folder container that I keep in my closet. Yes- it all fits!! My laptop fits inside my desk. I can plug into the printer in the kitchen when needed. I'll post a picture later.

My office is used as an office for PC, stores all my scrapbooking and stampin' stuff, my box of random gifts, my stuff for grad school, and when i add a blow-up mattress to the futon, you get my guest bedroom. The only down side for guests is that they have to look at PC stuff everywhere

Looks like you have done a super job! Thanks for inspiring the rest of us to get up and do something. (From another post: You can do anything for 15 minutes! )

Oooooooh! I love the drawers inside your closet! I have a space on the far left side of my colset where I could totall use some drawers like that....

 

[chefkristin]

I wish I had separate space. Mine is in the living room, kitchen, bedroom...well you get the idea.

 

[abrahamlaur]

[lacychef]

Alison - that looks so nice and well organized!

What is in the different colored boxes on the book shelf?

 

[sfdavis918]

And what are all the ribbons for?

 

[Dawn4]

Okay, you have inspired me. I would love to know where you got the 3, 2, 1 (green color) printout that is hanging on your closet door. I would love one to keep me motivated.

Becky

The colored boxes hold different things from Vistaprint... Thank you cards, Birthday discount postcards, invitations, business cards, stamps, magnets/note pads. The boxes are just from Michaels and then I just pust a post-it on each of them. hth!

Sarah

The ribbons are all my recognition ribbons from my Director. I hung them up to motivate and inspire me when I am feeling down about my business.

Dawn, the 3, 2, 1 printout is actually the mousepad we got at conference. As I have a laptop and don't use a regular mouse, I decided to hang it up.

 

[Dawn4]

I think I'm going to have to make a printout for myself. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!

How amazing! I don't have that much space, but I can clean off my desk and maybe steal a shelf or two from the bookshelves... and if I organize my christmas cr*p in the closet maybe I could use some of that space, too!Woohoo! I'm so inspired by your pictures, thanks!

 

[missydivine]

What a great office! I may get mine together one of these days.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Great minds think alike Alison. I have a laptop, so my 3-2-1 mouse pad from National is pinned to my bulletin board. I too, keep my ribbons hanging on the bulletin board for memories.
