Welcome to the first installment of Project Declutter. With good luck, good timing, motivation and discipline, there should be at least 12 parts for this year. For part one, I decided to declutter under my bed.  As I said in a previous post, the reason for starting small is so that I don’t get overwhelmed…

Today, I’m sharing with you an update on an update! The saga of my kitchen light has been ongoing since 2021! I decided that I wanted to remove my ugly florescent light box and install a fixture. I was pretty sure that I could remove the box by myself (which I did). I was equally…

I have another quick and simple post today. But the good news is really that I have knocked off another item from my “running to do list.” Again, there is no good reason that it took me so long to tackle this task. I finally managed to handle the shower head replacement project. Primary Bath…
