The Unf*ck It Thread

I love those shelves so much. Also jealous of your sunny day!

Thanks @diapasoun and @noodle ! No need to be jealous of the sunny day, though. That was just upping the exposure. A lot

I’m reading the “unfuck your habitat” book, after stacking the dishwasher and starting it. I also packed away 1 set of kids toys (idea is to have some sets out away or at least give every group of toys their own box)

Washed my kid’s sheets today. A+ me.

And I dealt with the kitchen nightmare

This room started to gather bulky items again. Instead of ignoring it for weeks and stepping around junk to get to my clothes, I took everything down to the basement.

I’m probably halfway through sorting the toys. They get boxed up, put in my wardrobe, and then once there is few enough for us to manage in the lounge/playroom, they will be rotated through. I realised there is no storage for them at all since I put the shelving in the baby area. Whoops. No wonder they’re everywhere. There’s nowhere to put them.

It is a mighty challenge.

The wiggler got a toy chest that is also a bench for Christmas. Today I decided to put some things in it to make room in the ikea bins for things to actually go in them. We put some stuffed animals in. Then he put the construction paper and blocks (from at least two different blocks sets) in. Then we took the stuffed animals out so he could hide in the toy chest. Then I took the construction paper out and took it downstairs because his art stuff belongs downstairs.

I guess I will put the blocks in that toy chest. That way something is actually together and blocks are a thing he can safely have in his bedroom.

This CAN get done a little at a time, right?! I want very much to pull everything out and organize it and put it away in an organized manner… but there’s just no time at which that activity can take place.

Yes, it can! And to reframe it, if it’s done a little at a time, maybe it will help him learn to sort things and where they go a little at a time? That’s what I would tell myself… small changes over time are easier to learn than big ones? Idk.

We have an old dresser in our toy room. I printed and laminated pictures of what went in each drawer (legos, lincoln logs, toy cars, etc.), and that’s helped a lot with keeping things organized.

ETA - We still have a ridiculous mess of toys that DON’T go in the dresser. But the things that are in the dresser are well organized and easy to put away, haha.

I bought a small coat tree like a month ago, where it has been sitting in its box while my coats lounged all over my studio.

Today I put the coat tree together, and my jackets have a home! And I opened all my mail from the last 2 weeks, and broke down all the boxes. Now I just need to clear some surfaces and it will be beautiful again. Wish me luck!

One miss on the weaving setup, resulting in a double thread, but I had already restarted 4 times, so I just kept going.

more darning. This jacket is likely from ~1997 or 1998. I am fairly certain I was wearing it the first time the shadowy one visited.

I unfucked my closet!

It turns out I have a lot of shirts but they mostly have holes in them… I’m not ready to throw away but at least I can see them all now?

I would love to reconfigure the wardrobe to have drawers :sweat_smile:

Unless they’re the head and arm and body holes, why are you keeping shirts with holes :joy: gentle push. At the very least maybe separate them out somewhere else? So you see your “true” wardrobe.
