A task assigned to fix or organize anything around. When I heard of it I was like there is nothing as such to be fixed in the surrounding I was sitting in by that time, because my mother is quite organized and disciplined lady, so this trait has been transferred to me too. In fact I had been criticized multiple times for being too much organized by my roommates in hostel.

Tried to find a corner in my room but unfortunately didn’t I was sitting with my mommy and literally freaking out for what to do, so shared with her. She reminded me of the task she asked me to do couple of months back, coming back after hearing this I was like, hehehehehehe lets do it now, why not, I can do both task for one cause getting it organized and well managed place.

When it comes to fixing things around a lot many ideas roam about where to start, which place to choose, what to add and what to remove.

So I decided to take advantage of this and choose this laundry which has no specific purpose besides ventilation and all that cleaning stuff items. Here is picture of the laundry before make over.

First I make a picture of it how it should look like then arranged all supplies accordingly, finally managed to have them all at once and here work started. My mother helped me in this task, we have a lot of planters in our terrace because my mother loves gardening too. One can’t find a single corner without these baby plants or planters in our home so we managed to have a few new ones and other were the ones we took from terrace because that portion also required some management.

About supplies I recycled a few like for hanging shelves I used our old refrigerator shelves or racks, used neon simple neon light with a little touch of creativity. Tried to make it organized and presentable like the way other corners in our home are. Because I do believe that its our outer space that effect our mood and inner peace.

Here is the final look

Tried to keep it simple, green yet attractive so that passing by this have a sense of satisfaction that this part of home isn’t neglected despite other attractive rooms

Unfortunately, I started a bit late so can’t click a picture in morning but sure will do it one day in any other blog. Haven’t made any sitting arrangement will surely come up with that too. Would like to end this first blog with a quote
