This past week, I've been trying to organize the house more. When my grandmother passed, our schedule for the day underwent drastic change and unfortunately didn't leave much time for cleaning and organizing the house. Recently, I've been trying to pull everything together and get the house looking good again with the help of my boyfriend. We've been flea marketing every weekend at Rietta (the largest flea market in New England) to clear out some of the bins of clothing and other junk that are sitting in the garage and mudroom. The mudroom has now been entirely cleaned and cleared, and is back to functioning.
I've also been re-arranging some furniture around the house to make more space and to better utilize some of what we have. The library got cleaned and organized yesterday, and in my opinion looks better than it ever has. The living room is also slowly coming together- I moved the couches around and added an endtable. Today is going to consist of helping my sister clean and organize, and starting to work on the office (which is one of the larger rooms in the house that needs cleaning). I'll be cleaning out my old desk for my sister to use, and also cleaning off an old armchair in the office. Eventually, I'd like to get it re-upholstered- but first comes cleaning everything around it. After the office is clean, I'd love to start working in the garage. My personal hope is that once everything is clean, my dad will allow me to use the workshop half of it to experiment with spray paint and old furniture- my boyfriend and I want to buy old furniture and renew it, and then add unique/psychedelic art to it using spray paint. That idea is a work in progress, and naturally I'd like to experiment with the paints before actually using them on furniture... however, I'd need a place to do so and I hope that once the garage is clean, it'll be a good place. Naturally, the garage is a large project that'll probably spill over into next year... but I do intend to complete it. In any case, the next week may be a little hectic for me with all the cleaning I've been doing, but it should be fun nonetheless. My aunt is coming up next week, so I'm pretty excited to see her (and for her to experience some of the cooking I've been doing recently). I'm going to end this post here, as I need to shower and then start my cleaning for today. - Maddie

Its as if you had a great grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from more than one angle.
