Even though I spent some time this month de-cluttering and cleaning up spaces I never got around to writing about it. So instead of a recap with links to the post, I’m doing it all in one.
Saturday, March 5th
I started with my cake decorating tool box.
The top tray…
Under the tray which didn’t look too bad…
Everything out of the box…
Cleaned up and organized…
What didn’t go back in the box, but did go in with the other cake decorating stuff I have…
That same afternoon I for some reason opened the cabinet under the kitchen sink and found two bottles of carpet cleaning stuff for the steam cleaning and a bottle of carpet stain remover. Since all of my carpet was removed in January I decided I didn’t need them any more. I actually pulled these bottles out and closed the doors, then actually came back and decided to clean out the cabinet while I was at it.
The before…
I’m not going to post the yucky before I wiped it all out pictures.
This is the after…
The ‘to go’ pile is on the left and the trash pile is on the right…
Last but not least for that day, one of the kitchen drawers…
The drawer before…
Everything pulled out of the drawer…
The organized and containerized drawer…
The pink container went into a different drawer a few drawers down. I didn’t do away with anything in this drawer because while some of it may not be used often I like having it.
Sunday, March 13
Because I could not put off washing clothes any longer I needed to rescue the washer machine from being the catch all of the moment.
Before…
After…
I'd hoped to get more done inside but I didn't manage too. I did spend some time outside de-cluttering the yard though, which made a huge difference.
I'm linking up over at A Slob Comes Cleaning. Check it out to see more decluttering adventures.
You did fantastic! Such a difference in your before and after pictures.
ReplyDeleteCan I be honest? Seeing your cake decorating box makes me want a cake decorating box. Even though I don't really decorate cakes often. It just looks so cool.
And the thing about having carpet cleaners but no carpet, I totally understand.
good job! love the cake decorating box too...one of my goals this year is to take a decorating class becasue I well, stink at it!
ReplyDeleteNony, I think the before and afters remind me what I actually did. It's nice to look back and say yeay that area looked that bad and now look at it.
ReplyDeleteI teach the Wilton classes, so the toolbox goes with me back and forth to class. It's a great thing to keep items together, if you have a few of them. Me, well, I've outgrown the box. ;)
