I was MORTIFIED when I saw what the first hot spot was going to be. I would have been fine if I had to show you a picture of my counter tops, desk, entry, cabinets, etc but my WARDROBE....UGH! It is in dire need of some attention. You may never look at me the same! :)
Here it goes - the before picture
Okay, now that the secret is out that I'm not the tidy one in the family, i humbly went to work not leaving a single item unturned.
Here's my proof:
I went through her strict criteria to determine what I needed to toss, sell/donate or keep. I cringe seeing all those clothes in good condition sitting in my "donate" pile (see below). My idea of a good time is NOT clothes shopping. I'm never the size I want to be, it always costs more than i want to spend, and at the end of the day I'd much rather buy something for my boys than me! Pitching the clothes makes me take a hard look at what is really in there! Many of these clothes hadn't been worn in years! If I was being honest, it was long overdue for them to go. I have to say, after they were gone, it felt great!
An unexpected perk was I solved the mystery of why i never have enough hangers to hang up our laundry...they MAY have been in the back of the closet (and that was only MY side **ha**)
The after shot:
Hot spot #1 conquered!! Stay tuned next Friday for hot spot #2 before and after!

I. am. dying. You cleared the whole closet? What a woman, certainly on a dead set mission! I love it, way to go!
Great job! It feels awesome to declutter once you've finished!
Now that I'm a mom, I hate shopping for myself too. I'd much rather buy for my kiddies. Your new closet looks great!
It looks great! Good for you for clearing out everything.
Good job! I got rid of a lot of clothes this week too. It feels so nice to get rid of items that I didn't like but kept just in case. :-)
I found a bunch of empty hangers hiding in the back of my closet too. I'm going to blame the resident closet hanger thief...definitely his fault!
You did a great job! I wasn't brave enough to clear the entire closet this time, but it's definitely on my list...at the very bottom, but it's there!
Wow! You really did a great job! I am impressed.
Very nicely done! I have yet to do my closet. I didn't find out about the project until midweek and by then, my family was in the throes of a nasty GI bug. But it is definitely something that I need to do and plan to work on while I'm working on the other areas as well.
Sounds like such a good idea! I've heard of simple mom and should take a look at her stuff. I have to say...my closet is really the worst spot for me too. My husband says he won't dare go in there...it's a walk-in with lots of other stuff in it too.
Great Job Friend! I could not agree more....feels so good to tackle and organize!
