Wow! I was so excited this morning when in my email there was a note from Jeanette Fisher, the author of the book I talked about on my last post. She is a really sweet lady and said she read my blog from the bottom to the top! She’s working on a new book the explains how to use “Design Psychology” to prepare your house for the market, that’s what I really need right now, but I’ll also need the Doghouse to Dollhouse book as well when we buy our “fixer-upper”.

I just want to post her other websites for you, there are even more articles and tons of info on those sites. She even has two newsletters ~ of course, I signed up. I’m really becoming a big fan!

At the DesignPsych.com site I found an article about using “Design Psychology” for designing your office. I thought it would be relavent since today was the day I absolutely HAD to tackle cleaning the clutter out of our office (which is actually our formal dining room). Actually, the article is more for after we move and I set up a NEW office but it gave me incentive to get this one cleaned up so we can get this house sold.

Speaking of working on the office, I took a “before” picture but I’m embarrassed to post it until I have the “after” picture to go along with it. I only got HALF of the job done, can you believe it? I spent at least 6 or 7 hours on it. But you know, it was Brent’s desk that gave me such a problem and took so long. He’s a “stacker”, he had things stacked that dated back to 1998, yeah, 1998. I brought in one of those big outdoor trashcans, it was empty when I started, it’s almost FULL now. Unreal. My side wasn’t that bad, I’m messy but I do my filing and trashing like I should.

Anyway, even though I only got halfway around the office, the part where I sit is nice and clean now. It really feels great. Not tommorow, but next week I’m going to tackle the bookshelves behind me and all the stuff that has accumulated in front of them. It shouldn’t be too hard, I can just pack a lot of the stuff in boxes and put one of those big labels marked with a “C” on the side (see previous post “Starting To Pack Already?“).
