The Big Clean

Lisa Sherry in Lonny Magazine

The above image is really only relevant to this post in that I would rather be cozying up in a lovely nook with a book than doing anything that I'm supposed to be doing.  I love the black and white spotted pillow, the small framed portrait to keep you company, the way the shelves are styled and the blue and white jar against the black walls.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to get it together.  Because despite the image of organized bliss that I portray (what? no?), I, in fact, have nothing together.  As I write this post I'm trying to move my Christmas decorations into their respective boxes with my mind.  I'm also trying to will my laundry to do itself.  None of it's working for me.  The following are images that inspire me to get it together and get organized.  They're all from my new Pin Board appropriately titled Get It Together.

I once read an interview with Charlotte Moss where she was asked, what is ugly.  Her response, bad housekeeping.  Gulp!  Soo in an effort to get my life and my house together, I'm going to share with you a giant list of things I'm going to clean out.  I figure if I put it out there, y'all can hold me accountable.  I mean, I'm not going to do any of it today obviously ;)
