Easter Organising

Are you prepared to entertain the relatives or your friends for the Easter holiday? Worried the Easter bunny will not be able to find his eggs in your house? Have you walked into the spare room lately for any reason other than to store last season's clothing, unpacked suitcases, or old artwork? Well now is the time to clear out the spare dumping room and prepare for your Easter guests! Do not be overwhelmed. Small steps will make the overall difference.

Pick a corner and start in it. Group similar items together. If you find things that belong in a different room, simply form a pile for them but do not go into the other room yet. Do not start to organize the lounge room. It is very important to stay focused on the task at hand. When sorting through everything constantly ask yourself if you truly need these items. Do these objects add value to your life? Now is the time to make decisions on the things you have been avoiding. Why is the artwork made for display being hidden in the closet? Try finding a place for them on the walls of the spare room, as opposed to on the ground in the closet. What is the point in storing clothes you have not seen in years? Are the kids too old to play with half of those board games? Maybe it is time to throw some out or donate them. Unpack those suitcases! Condense the luggage lying around in order to save some space. Take the smaller luggage and place it inside of the larger luggage. Store them high up out of the way unless you use them every week. Now distribute those other room piles to their respective rooms.

You can further transform that spare dumping room into the beautiful guest room you have been picturing for the past several months. Focus on the guests you have coming to stay. Make them feel at home by adding photographs with them and you in them. Buy some flowers and open up the windows to freshen up the place. Make room in the drawers and closet for the guest to put their stuff. Go grab all of the sample toiletries you have and put them in a basket for your guest to use. Finally place some clean linens onto the bed, a chocolate for fun. Step back and admire your "after" room.

Please send any questions that you need answered, A Little Elf love to help!
