Tackle it Tuesday

Today I am going to tackle a small area of my home that has been a big mess for precisely one year. No time like the anniversary of a mess to finally get it cleaned up. The picture below is from our master bath, those are clothes, pictures, albums, weights,shoes, air cleaners and dust bunnies. Oh yes, and somewhere underneath everything is a treadmill. Notice the towels hanging on the arms of the treadmill, they have been there for a year just in case I decide to take a walk on the wild side.

To clean this up I did the following:

Hung the picture on the wall
Took photos to my husband’s work to be digitized www.iMemories.com.
Bagged clothes and dropped off at donation box at our son’s school. The school receives a cash portion of everything collected at the site.

Here is the end result and it feels so good every time I walk in there! By the way and because it is one of my favorite bargains of all time, I got the big picture on the wall for $33.00 at a model home sale. Now we can enjoy it!

Head on over to 5 Minutes for Mom to see what everyone else is tackling this week.

Thanks for the comments ladies. To answer your question in an honest way, I am going to say no, there aren’t plans to use the treadmill at this time! : ) In fact, one of my future tackles needs to be to sell it.

I have a similar, draped treadmill in our master. That looks great! And I didn’t know your man is working at iMemories. I’m a faithful customer!! Does that mean he’s seen our home movies, eegads! Missed you tonight. Hope to see you for coffee soon. Much love, S
