To-dos: 5 home organizing projects for the fall

1. Playroom
^^ because, seriously, this is supposed to be the space for play and toys and fun, and instead it's a depository for boxes and storage

2. Set up my jewelry
^^ shouldn't be too hard to hang my necklace race and earring screen again. Sure, there'll be some drilling into our newly painted immaculate wall, but it was bound to happen at some point. 

3.  Bathroom cabinet.
^^ it's still half empty, and we have stuff we need that hasn't been properly stored yet.  Though I am excited about all the extra storage space.

4. Desk and office supplies
^^ this doesn't feel as pressing, but it's still a huge mess.  Back in my days of self-employment, having a clean, organized home office was paramount.  However, these days of full-time WOHM existence, the desk can wait.   That acronym is Work Outside the Home Mom, btw, the opposite of a SAHM in my book.
I want to get it all set up because that's also our guest room, and I'd like to have a proper visitor area before LP's third birthday.


5.  Hall Closet

I have no photo.  But it's a mess, mostly because our hall closet is full of boxes and items that will be hung on the walls.  To give some background, none of our last 3 places have had a proper hall closet (2 were in Brooklyn!  It's okay!), so we were incredibly excited to *finally* have a proper closet for coats, brooms, umbrellas, etc.  That we haven't yet used it for that is the current bane of my existence.
