I hope it's ok to post this. I spent the entire day cleaning, organizing, downsizing, and scrubbing. My hands are raw! This is the area that I seriously dreaded doing, and have been procrastinating on for months (as it got worse and worse). It feels SO good to be done. So I thought I'd post pics to show what I've been up to today.

My March declutter challenge went from 350 items to over 1000 items out of the house.

Laundry/Craft Room Declutter

It's so nice to be able to actually walk through the room.

Thanks! I'm hoping it'll be easy to keep clean. Everything is super organized, and I got rid of a TON of stuff (I had craft items that have been waiting to be turned into something since uh...elementary school Yes, I finally tossed out stuff I've been hanging onto for over 20 years.)

The next step is to paint the room. Any color suggestions?

It looks so great!

Wow, those before pictures, you had to do laundry in there? Do you have a ton more free time now just because you don't have to fight with things?

Nice work! I'm so impressed. I like the green and yellow color suggestions. I need bright happy colors to make me do laundry

Great job! I'd go with a bright cheery yellow. My laundry room is green and it's faded into a weird shade. I'm thinking of painting it yellow now that I finally have it clean.

What's your next project? Could it be my house?
