Clutter-busting Challenge Update

5/29/2013

I've been working on the Clutter-busting challenge all month and it has been a challenge.  We are still going to be clutter-busting in June because we have a lot of cluttered areas in our home that need some TLC.  It has been a lot of work, but the results are worth the effort.

I am so excited to share before and after pictures of my cookbook/art supplies shelves.

After
I donated a whole shelf of cookbooks to make more space and made room for the crock-pot in the kitchen.  My bread machine went out to the garage since it is no longer working:(  I miss my bread machine.  

We love the new un-cluttered space. It is amazing the difference it makes when you remove the clutter.  Here are some snap shots of stuff we got rid of since my last clutter-busting post.  
Picture
Half a truck (we don't seem to have the cab anymore), an old trash can, a two piece bathing suit (from before 3 kids), kids place-mats, magic hat baby toy, odd shaped fabric scrap
Picture
An old laundry bag, worn out kids shoes, worn out kids clothes
Picture
Halloween pail, stamper (the baby chews on stampers), window cling shade, old kids clothes, old lip gloss, random puzzle piece
Picture
Bag of trash cleared out of my desk, happy meal toy, breast milk bottle, broken hanger, half a plastic egg, broken army man, wooden stick from toy we no longer have
Picture
Stuff from my desk that I don't need

I will keep you posted on our clutter-busting progress since we will still be clutter-busting in June.

Ah, thanks for showing us a realistic before and after shot : ) Glad you're making so much progress. I'm thinking once the little ones are older than 1 and 3, and hubby and I don't work opposite shifts, I will be able to get more clutter-busting done around my house! Until then, a little at a time...

I decided to also extend the clutter busting challenge into June. We have way to much stuff that we have to get rid of a lot more. Keep up the great work.
