Finally I finished this task… Those of you who have been tackling with us for awhile will remember the massive tackling Susan and I were doing in the final weeks before our babies arrived this fall. We were both rushing to make room in our houses for our new babies and we had left things to the last minute. We did accomplish quite a bit – but a number of things didn’t get finished. My daughter Olivia came two weeks early and I was not ready! We scrambled and survived – but not everything was how we hoped it would be. One of the hugest parts of the tackle at my house was converting our old office space into Jackson’s room. (We have the home office for our business now at Susan’s house and I work at our kitchen table at our house so I can work in the thick of parenting.) Finding places for all the stuff from the office was a nightmare. We tried to fit a lot of it into this antique sideboard in our hall. But the last few things didn’t find a home before Olivia arrived. And they have been sitting there now for four months! It was time to finish that task! Here is how it looked during the tackling back in September. The room in the background is the old office that was about to be painted and transformed into Jackson’s room.
Here is how the sideboard has looked these past four months.
And here is the finished product today.
I wish the whole house was tackled. There are still many tackles waiting – and as usual – new tackles growing every day. But it sure feels GREAT to get this part finished. What are you tackling? Link up and show off! | |||

Great job… I need to add the desk to my to-do list.
My house needs to be tackled! I know what it is like to have a little baby. Mine was born this past summer and a lot of my housework has been put on the back burner ever since he’s been born. I think I will tackle my basement.
Wow I’ve forgotten about my desk. That would be a great task to start. We are going to Home Depot today to start some small projects too.
You did a great job, I have a lot of straightening up to do myself.
Wow! Great job!
my tackle this week was bittersweet. My baby moved from his crib to a big boy bed.
Great tackle! I did a small tackle this week, but the computer room is on my future list.
WOW! That looks great! I love how the mirror on the sideboard reflects the books.
Nice job!
Oops! When I linked in #9 above, it was to a different meme. The correct link is #11.
Nice job. My desk, I mean kitchen space, is always a wreck and an on-going task.
This meme really motivates me to do those little tasks I keep putting off.
My first “TAckle It Tuesday” is a really small project but it looked soooo good when I finished!
Happy to join your ranks!
Sorry, I meant to comment on your very neat sideboard! Good work!
The desk looks great! The before pictures are how my dresser and nightstand look right now. My tackle for today!!!!!
That looks great. I reorganized my hall closet. Target has these awesome metal shelve units and cube units. They are pretty inexpensive ( 24.99 for 3 shelve unit and 14.99 for 6cube unit)
After I put those in, it was easy to put everything away.
IT is definatly the right tool for the rigt job…on to my office for next weeks project.
You did great!
I didn’t even realize it was Tuesday until I stopped by. I did manage to write about a tackle in progress though.
That looks really nice! I have my desk area on my to do list. One of these days I’ll get to it!
Great job on the office. Take it one task at a time, and you’ll get there! Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Happy Tuesday!

I know I’m a day late but I actually started yesterday. I’m tackling making baby food! Almost done! Great job on the office! Feels great to get things done, doesn’t it?
Well, hello you two pretty twin sisters. How fun to blog with your sister! I talk about mine all the time but with? Lucky!
This is my first time here, it looks like fun, can’t wait to read more!
PS
I tacked a chair makeover. From the Goodwill store $29
Great job! You’ve just inspired me to do the same.
