The past two days I have spent a lot of time spring cleaning! We have only lived here a year and I'm ashamed how dirty our house has gotten! So far I've tackled the children's rooms, the hall closet and the living room. Later this week I have to do the bedroom closests, the pantry and the office! ACK! So much to do!! I'm hoping when everything is cleaned and decluttered that it will make life much easier and things will stay clean longer. Does that make sense?? Here are a few examples of what I've been doing:

The childrens' rooms BEFORE:

And AFTER:

Hall Closet BEFORE (this was the JUNK closet) The coat rack bar has also broken and hadn't gotten fixed!!

AFTER:

We also decided this was too small to usre for a coat closet so DH is going to install shelves in this closet and we'll use it for homeschooling supplies, crafts and games! YAY!!

Living room BEFORE:

AFTER:

I feel so much better having this done!! After we finish the spring cleaning we'll paint the living room, hall and dining room. The living room will be a darker shade of tan just to give the room a little "pop"! I think the color is called "Peanut Butter". And the dining room will be two toned. I can't wait!

Thanks for letting me share!!
