Which would suit you better: working in a place where everything is perfectly clean and tidy, or working in a place where making a mess is accepted or even part of the job? This week's theme is dirty and clean.
I love working in a place of cleanliess and order, surrounded by peaceful clear surfaces, bright colors, filtered sunlight and modern design.
That said, I am sadly not a tidy person. I am piler and a procrastinator and I can barely keep my desk clean for a moment. I would probably do well in a place where a mess is part of the job, particularly is the space is designed for such messes. An art studio, for instance. My classroom, sadly, is not one of those spaces. And so I will continue to strive, and rearrange my piles, seeking order.
What the dirtiest or messiest room in your home right now? And what's the cleanest or tidiest room? This week's theme is dirty and clean.
Right now??? After two trips to IKEA in one weekend (don't ask)?? This is a tough question.
Right now the cleanest room is the living room, as long as you don't look toward the foyer where we've gathered the detris of a lot of furniture assembly. We've very recently moved, removed, assembled, moved, removed, and reassembled a number of couches here, and so the floor has had a chance to be swept and mopped in places it didn't know existed. The new couch, finally happy in its spot, is raised on legs with a space underneath to showcase future dustbunnies for all the world to see. Somehow, I am imagining that this will keep the room cleaner...?
DIrtiest place? As always and usual, the basement. I still harbor a secret dream of just backfilling the entire basement with concrete. A slab foundation would be preferable to the pit of doom we currently have under our house. Barring that drastic measure, I also dream of a day wherein I remove every nonessential item that is not stored neatly in a rubbermaid, and paint all the walls and the floor a uniform glossy grey. Somehow, I am imagining that this would keep the basement cleaner....
A girl can dream.
