Well, I did it! I started on Wednesday and it took me two days, but the first room on my list is done.. I didnt take any "before" pictures of this room, but I will try to tonight of my next item on my list... so excited to have found http://whitehouseblackshutters.com!

Wow. It looks like you have a great plan there! I think I am going to take the concept behind it and get a plan in place. If I can just pick 40 spots to work on for those 40 days, I will be good! :) Great job and thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Mandy! I'll be working on this, too, but I don't have a plan written out. I did the main bathroom today (decluttered and spring cleaned) and tomorrow I start on the kitchen. That and the living room should get done before Jacob's birthday party in a couple weeks, so I've got my work cut out for me! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job!!! I like your list, I've found a few spots (mail, bill organization) that I'd like to add to mine. I'll be writing a post on the breakdown of my game plan, thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, thanks for linking up and joining us. :)
