Before and After

I have been working on different areas around the house trying to de-clutter and re-organize lately. My husband calls me a pack rat, and I'm finally realizing that he is right! So, as I've been cleaning things out lately, if I haven't seen it, touched it, needed it, or even knew I had it in the past year, it's gone!

One area that really needed some help was our computer area. I spend too much a lot of time on the computer and was really needing to figure out a better use of the space. My back, neck and arm would hurt from reaching up to the keyboard and mouse and I would often work myself into a migraine from all of it.

Here is the before. This is quite embarrassing to show, but I'm just keeping it real with y'all! The dust, the cords, oh my word it's all bad!

We have this computer area in our guest bedroom, and we knew that we need something small, practical and inexpensive. I'm sure you already know where we turned next! This piece (the Mikael - that's just for you Deidre!) from Ikea fit the bill!

The cords are still there, but I was able to clean out and throw away so much junk that we had no use for. I still have some re-organizing work to do, but it's already so much better!

I love my little memo board area where I can put my scripture memory verse, prayer requests, reminders, etc

Thanks to my sweet man for putting it together, piece-by-piece-by-piece. I promise I will do better about keeping it clean from now on!
