I don’t know about you guys but before I go away for the holidays or a trip, I become a little obsessed with cleaning and organizing my apartment. Brandon can attest. A few years back we were leaving for Europe for two weeks and he literally had to tell me to stop cleaning so we didn’t miss our plane. But for this holiday, I was prepared! I’ve spent the last few evenings blissfully scrubbing, mopping, vaccuming, throwing things away, and organizing closets and drawers so we can come home to a clean slate for 2012. Highlights of the cleanse included washing every single linen in our home (including our duvet cover!), organizing our sock drawers (and getting rid of those lone socks!), removing all the dust from of our baseboards, and whittling the contents of our fridge down to barely nothing so nothing goes to waste while we’re away.
Ha… how obsessed are you with cleaning? And what do you think of the last photo? It’s our new living room rug and I’m pretty in love with it.
Girlfriend, you are WAY more organized than I am. Right now, I’m just focused on getting all of my presents wrapped and baking done in time for the big day. Kudos to you for being so on top of things!
PS. Love the rug!
Oooh glad you like the rug, I’m so into it
. Happy holidays!
O.C.D. alert! No, actually a little bit of O.C.D. is good as long as you aren’t missing flights because of it.
I have to have everything organized a certain way. I end up spending hours re-doing things I’ve already cleaned because I don’t like the results. Other than that, I procrastinate.
Oooh how I can relate. I used to feel that way to, but I’ve since come to manage those feelings a bit better. I give myself a limited amount of time to get things clean. I do it right before I have to go or be somewhere so I’m forced to leave my apartment- that way whatever is not done, I’m forced to leave it that way. You might try my method, it really helped!
Love the rug.. Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!
