OKAY PEOPLE.....this is my first "Woohoo Giveaway" and I will continue to do these periodically when I am so inspired. (Don't mind the tomatoes.....they have nothing to do with the giveaway - just don't like a post without some color!) Well...let's talk about inspiration.... My office is an in-home work space. I've got a great room on the third floor of our house. When we built this house, we designed this room specifically for my husband and his work. Well, I've booted him out and have taken over and I'm in this office for several hours a day.
I was struggling with 'enjoying' the space. I have to walk through my children's playroom (BIG mistake if you are on your way to WORK!) The room depressed me each day because I was immediately introduced to 259 unorganized books....three desks that had this, that and the other on top of them. Overflowing drawers of 'should we keep' or 'should we get rid of', chair in the corner that needs to be recovered.
You know the feeling, people! A daunting task that I never could find the time to tackle....or maybe I just didn't want to tackle.
I have these similar feelings about each relationship with different rooms in my house. I haven't quite done what I'd like to do because I haven't quite had the wallet to do so.
So, here's where inspiration walked in my door and changed my little world dramatically. Admittedly, it may not sound like much to many of you.....but if you're in the same predicament of
"wanting to do a lot....not sure if I can do any...." mode I was in.....then you will appreciate my enthusiasm.
I called Alix with
NEAT, INC. and told her my situation. I was wallowing in a bit of disorganization because I had been paralyzed by the notion that I couldn't afford to change or update. Alix came in with a fresh eye....and a mean sense for what works and what doesn't work. She rearranged, organized, sold, removed and decluttered. By the end of her brief stay.....we had taken care of things I had been looking at (a/k/a not dealing with!) for years. I disliked my guest bedroom.....now it's inviting. The playroom sent shivers down my spine.....my children take pride in the organization now. My office is more functioning with a desk from another room that I had thought was too heavy to even consider moving into my office - we moved it in 10 minutes.
People.....I give you Alix. She was so inspiring and offered my household such relief and filled several rooms with a great big breath of fresh air.......I am GIVING AWAY one hour of Alix's time. That may not sound like much....
oh you'll be surprised!
I will be giving away this great gift ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.....to be eligible, you must comment on my blog (Give a name.....even if it's a code name....so I can add your name to the hat. I will NOT be able to include "anonymous" posters.)
I'm
