Project Organize Entire Apartment

So I have decided that the entire apartment needs a desperate makeover. We have a lot of half-finished projects around the house and it is one huge mess! That is why I have decided for a drastic change a huge project that will be done by July! I would like to introduce you to POEA – Project Organize Entire Apartment. I will take you through the journey of how to organize my entire apartment from a huge mess to something I am proud to live and don’t need to hide everything in the guest bedroom when we are having guests

I love planning. I am not usually so good at following through but the planning really makes me feel happy. So I have made a plan on how to make this work. I started off by creating a timeline:

March

Planning
Creating a inspirational pinboard on pinterest with my sister

April

Living room
Home Office
Dining room
Hallway
Bathroom

May

Kitchen
Balcony
Bedrooms

June

Guest bedroom
Entrance
storage area

This plan is of course not set in stone, wait a minute, it’s on the internet so I guess it technically is… This is what I can call a basic guideline. I will try my best to finish the projects in the month they are due BUT I might get a delay here on my blog. I will try not to keep on track which is why I am posting this on a Sunday 31st instead of Monday 1st.

For each room (or a combination of areas) I will start by having an introduction to the space. Then I will be posting all the organizing and other things that need to be done. When it is done I will write a post with the finished room and a reflection as well as a what needs to be done in the future list. At the end of each month I will have a monthly wrap-up.

The reason why I am not finishing the rooms 100% is because I might not have the time – or funds – to do everything I wish. I want to build a Dog Crate and a Painters Ladder but I do realize these projects are too complex at this point in time. For the bathroom I will only be doing a quick organizing as I hope there will be a bathroom renovation in the summer – fingers crossed! Even thought I have just done organized my bedroom I need to take another look in May as I am finding it hard to keep it organized.

During these months I will be focusing mostly on organizing, but I also have a few DIY projects that will be a part of the room makeovers, but there is a reason I have chosen to call the project Organize Entire Apartment and not DIY Entire Apartment.

I will be using my Blog Binder and a word document when I am organizing instead of my Organizing Project Planner. This is mostly because there is so much to do and so many rooms but also because I am not satisfied with it and I will not take the time at the moment to update it.

That is it for now. Tomorrow I will be posting the introduction to the living room / home office / dining room / hallway. I combined all these because it is essentially one big area. Stay tuned!
