235 - Kids Summer Bedroom Redesign
On this week's podcast, I kick start the 3-week Kid's Organization Series. It's for kids between the ages of 7 and 21 – so whether you're still in school or preparing to graduate from college – this series is for you!
I tried something a little different this week and recorded my podcast on video, too. If you would prefer to watch this episode, you can do that here... https://youtu.be/2Q9JWKBOFVc
Organizing Your School Art & Memories
But before we get started, I want to reach out to all the kids out there who are bored out of their minds this summer. If you can relate, I've got your back! One of the things you could do is go through all of your old artwork and school papers and sort out the things that you love and want to save to look back on in years to come. Sort everything into two piles – a keep pile and a recycle pile.
Once you have gathered all of the papers and artwork you want to keep, you can store it all in a plastic tub and keep it in your closet, or you can put everything inside a binder using sheet protectors. You can create your own binder OR you can ask your parents (as nicely as possible) to let you order the Organize 365 School Art & Memory Binder where you can safely store and protect all of your papers and artwork so that they will last a lifetime.
Organizing your artwork is something you could do while you're in the process of redesigning your bedroom, which is something that I did A LOT when I was a kid because I loved switching things around and making my room feel "brand new" again.
So, if you want to redesign your bedroom this summer and change things up for yourself, follow these easy redesign tips!
Planning On Graph Paper
I don't know about you, but I find it easier to envision a redesign when I've drawn up a quick plan on paper first. Measure your bedroom and notice where the windows, doors and outlets are.
In my case, I'm redesigning my son's bedroom which measures 10' x 10'. So, I've drawn out my plan on the graph paper to fit 30 squares across and 30 squares from top to bottom.
[So, three squares of the paper is equal to one foot and one square of the paper is equal to four inches.]
