I've also been forced by renovations to confront my self-image as a housekeeper. Never a good thing. So this post is a fusion of the two ideas. Alloyed in a furnace of outsiders' opinions with drywall dust and dog fur.
I struggle on a daily basis to know how much housework is enough. I work from home and I find it very difficult to create in a cluttered space. And yet, I'm not sure that I could keep this house clean even if I worked at it 12 hours out of every 24. There are 5 other people (and a dog and a bird) -- that's a lot of mess. This doesn't even begin the discussion of whether it should be my job to make the mess go away. Or how many generations of mess we have here (I periodically find boxes labelled as my grandparents stuff).
I have on occasion de-cluttered other peoples houses. For money, even. I can offer 'expert' advice on how to de-clutter a house. So, now to the honesty part; some pictures of my own house.
(Cue the theme song to Love Story) Where do I begin?
This time I'm starting with the bathroom sink.
