1. I have been at home in Williamsburg for the past two and a half weeks. I have unpacked and just put stuff wherever I can put it because half of the stuff, clothes, bags, shoes, etc, I am taking with me to D.C. so I didn't want to put them away for good.
2. Trying to get things together for D.C. Packing and repacking is haunting me. I haven't started packing for D.C. yet and I leave on Saturday...for two months. I need to get it together.
3. Apartment Packing. I have acquired a bed, desk, chest of drawers, and MASSIVE amounts of other things for my apartment with the best roommates ever next year. MASSIVE amounts. I have stuff in every.single.room in my house right now. My bed is in our office, my desk is in our garage, my chest of drawers is in our garage, with two cars as well mind you, my stuff is all over my room and our guest room, and our dining room table and chairs is in our bonus room. There is also random kitchen stuff and accessories downstairs. Okay, I take that back, not every room, but just about.
This is what it looks like:
My room
Our guest room
I feel cluttered.
The worst part about it is that I can't do anything because there isn't anywhere else to put things.
This is how I feel:
I need to de-clutter my life.
D.C. here I come.

Hi my Love!
This is Jenna Baldiga your old friend from Southport, North Carolina :) I saw your post requiring help about clutter, and I am the anti-clutter. If I was at your apartment, I could whip it into boxes in a day or so. Alas, I am so many hours away, so all I can do is help you via the internet :(
SO, what I reccomend that you do is this:
1. Go through each room and divide all of your things into piles: keep and take with you to DC, toss (things you will not use, do not use, and do not need), storage (memorabilia or unused items with senitimental or seasonal value), and goodwill.
2. I would first take the goodwill pile out to the goodwill, and also the toss pile out so there is less clutter and more room to think and to move.
3. Then pack up the storage pile into boxes and label them. I would aslo clean the things that you are packing into the storage boxes and seal them tightly to seter bugs and spiders from making a home in the boxes.
4. Last tackle all of your items that you are taking and actively using in DC. I would clean the items before you put them in the boxes and also sort them into the rooms that each item will go into: kitchen, bedroom, bath, laundry, etc.
5. All of your big items that you need to take to DC with you I would clean, polish and wrap in plastic bubble wrap.
6. Also another helpful thing to do is to make a list of all of the things that you will need to buy once you get to DC, and also to make a schedule or a list of unpacking that you can use to guide your moving experience.
I hope this helps and hasn't been know-it-all-y or anything like that. Let me know if you need any other help or if there is anything that I can do! I am in the process of moving too and it is exhausting! :(
