Tackle It Tuesday – Week 10

Tackle it Tuesday

Project to Tackle: Front Closet

So, how many homes did you visit this weekend?
(You did participate didn’t you?)

I know the only reason I was able to show my home is because of Tackle It Tuesday! Yes, I would have had to miss the party if I hadn’t been steadily conquering the catch-alls and chaos in my home each week.

Thanks BooMama for hosting this fun Tour of Homes.

What a stunning hit it was – 232 blogs! I have made it to only just over 100, but will slowly try to get to the entire list. And if I you dropped by here and I have not yet made it to your blog yet, please forgive me. (Feel free to holler at me and then I will know that I missed you and I will come running over in my slippers!)

With all those folks dropping by, I was so pleased that I didn’t have to hang up any coats in my hall closet. I would have died of embarrassment! It is a terrible mess – really it is – just look!

So, I bought a shoe rack and more wooden hangers (on sale!!!) and ta da! It is now slightly presentable. Yes, if I am having a number of guests over, I will have to remove the coats to make room, but at least I will have matching hangers! Woohoo! (Can you tell I am excited?!?)

I can’t wait to see what you did… (Did anyone do anything special that was inspired by something you saw on the tour?)

Please Note: I tend to do my visiting from the comment links, not the Mr. Linky. So please leave a comment when you add your name to the Linky, so that I don’t miss you. (The reason I use the comment links is that some visitors are not participating in Tackle It Tuesday, but I still drop by and visit their blog. In past weeks I have tried to go through both lists, but I just want to give you the heads up that if you aren’t in the comments, I might miss your place by accident.)

So what did you tackle this week?
Let us know and join the party.

We are making housework blog-able!

Join Us For Tackle It Tuesday

Each week on Tuesday, we are posting before and after pictures of a project or trouble area that we tackled this week.

I will link to any of you who are also playing along, so add a comment and/or email me. Find out more about Tackle It Tuesday here.

The project can be little or big – whatever you want. Basically, Tackle It Tuesday is about giving ourselves incentive, deadlines and satisfaction in getting our household tasks done.

    wow, what a difference. It came out great. I guess that is the good thing about living in Florida, we don’t wear coats, and we don’t have a coat closet. lol Thanks for Tackle it Tuesday, I don’t know what I’d do without it.

    Thanks for coming up with the idea of Tackle it Tuesday. You really got me motivated to clean up the kids art cabinet. What a project that was! It looks great now.

    Closets are SUCH a huge project!!! I think I’ll have to participate in this Tackle it Tuesday next week…..I’m assuming it’s a project we can work on MORE than just one day and then just post our results on Tuesday…….I’m thinking about the toy room and it needs more than a day of attention it needs a MIRACLE!! LOL!

    Hurray!! I have a closet like this, too!!

    I added my link and I may not have gotten the banner saved correctly. I’m using a Mac, so please forgive me! I’ll fix it if it linked back to you and ate your bandwidth! :-)C

    hi! I’m kind of new to it so unfortunately I hadn’t thought of taking a picture of my laundry pile first before I tackled it. I heard of Tackle-it-tuesday right when I was finishing up. It might be good because if you guys saw what my laundry pile looked like, you might’ve fainted and then banned me from the group!!! LOL! I like your closet.

    You are too good girl! I can’t even organize a drawer never mind a closet. Boy it looks nice. I am still going to join tackle it Tuesday, but I might wait until next week since I am just getting back into the school routine. We will see how I do.

    Closests looking great! I just wanted to say the reason I don’t participate in Tackle it Tuesday because up until this point I didn’t have a camera or the know how to get pics up to my computer and hubby is just too busy right now to constantly be uploading and doing whatever it is you do to finally get a pic in a blog. Anyhow, all that to say, one of these fine Tuesdays when I figure it out, I’ll too participate.

    Way to go girl :razz:. Awesome job! There is a hall closet in my home calling my name as well.
    I am glad that you did create Tackle it Tuesday. Gives me the ‘instentive’ to get my house the way I want it.
    Well, it is 4:30am and I am already up again…did make it to bed before midnight though :grin:.
    Have a blessed day…
