52 Simple Ways to Create a Beautiful Space Challenge for March is…. The Closet.
That’s right folks. We are going in. It might get ugly in there, but we can do this. We’ve got this.
If you are new to the challenge, it started in January, and we have been working on one small area at a time. This is a system for those of us who struggle with organizing and staying organized. This is for those of us who get overwhelmed with big projects. Feel free to jump in anytime.
52 Things is a series of simple projects over the year designed to de-clutter, organize, simplify, and make your life more beautiful. Each week is one simple project designed to concentrate on one small area. A large project can become overwhelming. This often keeps us from even starting. With these small, but very purposeful projects, you will find it easy and feel productive as you take one small area at a time and transform it a beautiful space. These are manageable tasks and can usually be done in a small block of time, but over the course of the year, a lot of little things will add up.
