I am a piler and bagger myself, and it drives poor husband insane. he is a text book OCD neat freak and in my mind, as long as stuff is piled, it's cleaned up and out of the way.

Our hot spots are on the end of the kitchen counter and one end of our kitchen table...and by the side door for donation stuff...and the train table for toys I pick up off the floor. Just for that reason, the train table is going into the kids' consignment sale this weekend.<br /><br />I try not to read the home decorating blogs too much because I get dissatisfied with my house and feel like I'm not doing my best keeping things neater. Your honesty made me feel better. :) Thanks!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017243858428837934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-49993821206639726062011-10-01T10:29:23.363-04:002011-10-01T10:29:23.363-04:00Now I have a name "piler" and a good one...Now I have a name "piler" and a good one I am! You'd laugh at the pile in my bedroom that is so big I can't dig out a pair of shoes to wear most days. I am also a boxer cuz i box things up and move them around until they also end up in the bedroom. I need to get ahold of this bad habit! My excuse... I work full time and am too tired to get it all done. I also have help piling from the kids and the husband.

It's almost 1am, I should be in BED, buit I'm here reading and looking at pictures instead. and as soon as I read this post, I HAD to reply! Because you totally described me, in so many ways. I'm a piler, I put stuff on the stairs (the kids should bring their stuff up when they come up, but they never do, and my husband seems to ignore it when he's not complaining about the stuff all over the place). Anyhow, I move my piles, or I get the kitchen nice and cleaned up (as I'm the same exact way with the kitchen island, despite my "command center" project to organize - the command center is now a command dumping ground that I need to reorganize). Anyhow, just felt the need to immediately reply to this, thanks for writing it with all of the great photos!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-19282096382486975562011-08-25T21:46:39.058-04:002011-08-25T21:46:39.058-04:00ohmygosh you had me cracking up..!

I wish I was as passionate about cleaning and organizing as I was crafting!

I have bags, baskets and boxes of stuff, too, because that's how I do a quick clean up. But then what to do with all the miscellany in the bags? It fries my brain to sort. And I love when people (my husband) tell me, all you have to do is clean as you go...oooooooh, I never thought of that! Wink. I get it, I just can't seem to DO it. My brain just doesn't work that way.

I live in France and the other day I saw the show 'Hoarders' for the first time and next day I was a whirlwind !! vacuming corners and windowsills,throwing boxes, bags, thngs that 'could be useful later' , packed up a few bags for the charity shop and pulled out my boxes of fabrics to recover chairs etc ,,,,,,, it was a scary moment as I'm sure that these people's homes started out with just one pile of 'stuff' !!
