Sometimes, You Just Have To Cut Your Losses

A few months ago, I did a bedroom makeover.  I bought some cheap put together shelves to store my purses in the bedroom where they would be readily accessible.

My theory was that I would change purses more often if they were accessible.  Instead, they fell apart once a week.

Note the unmade bed and the unpacked suitcase (from a trip in JULY...ouch).

I hated to throw them away, but no amount of binder clips was keeping them together.  So I tossed them.  I didn't give them to Goodwill because I don't want anyone else to have such a horrible experience.

I made space for clothes that are folded but need to be put away.  Up until now, my husband was piling clean clothes on his side of the room and I never knew what was dirty and what needed to be put away.

I left out two nice bags, for job interviews.  I also quit storing my suitcase on the high shelf in the closet, because, let's face it, I NEVER put it back up on that shelf.  It's better to make a dedicated home where the suitcase tends to sit anyway.

The little brown cube is right under the plug, perfect for putting my Nook on when it is charging.

I used two old laundry baskets for putting the purses where my suitcase used to go.

I feel much better.  Now to get my husband to clean his side of the room.

Etcetera.
