Crystal at Biblical Womanhood is doing a series of Spring Cleaning for Normal People. Each week there will be a challenge to get our home clean and ready for spring weather (I can’t wait for nice weather and time in the sun!).
This week’s challenge was to declutter and the challenge could not have come at a better time. We began working on our basement about a year ago and the whole house suffered from the task. Things that would belong in the basement were stored all throughout the house. The guest rooms were a mess and not very welcoming for guests. Even when the house was clean I feel like it was cluttered.
Last weekend we moved things into the basement; it is almost completely finished!
And, boy howdy, did we declutter this house!
– all furniture is arranged in the rooms that it belongs in
– all closets are organized and sparsely filled with logical contents
– clothes were cleaned through and several bags were donated to charity
– movies and books were sorted through and several bags were donated, as well
– the freezers, fridge, and pantry are organized for easy use
– several loads of trash were thrown away
I also started a recycling bucket for paper and cardboard!
This house looks and feels wonderful! Pictures to come soon!
Wow! You guys do a lot!! I can’t wait to see the pictures!! I need to do that this weekend – what a wonderful surprise that would be for hubby when it gets home from the church Upward games.
