Pay no mind that it’s mid summer and I am still spring cleaning. A few weeks ago, I tackled our pantries. This past weekend was Operation Bathroom. It was in *dire* need of some spring cleaning. Just look at this fine display of disgusting:
My bathroom never quite recovered from my hasty flight home back from MN. So, it’s been looking like this for a while.
I dragged EVERYTHING out. Everything got wiped down, vacuumed out, scrubbed and sorted. It took me forever! But now I have order and it makes me feel so much better.
The lone drawer filled with products that I’m trying to use up before purchasing more:
Yay, I can see the counter again!
Also, I cleaned all of my makeup brushes using a water and vinegar recipe found on Pinterest and plopped them in a candle holder I got as a gift ages ago.
Underneath the sink got an overhaul too:
Hopefully I can stay on a cleaning schedule so this isn’t such a huge undertaking next time. It feels good to take stock so I’m reminded of how much I have before I go wishing for more.
Anyone still spring cleaning or are you running around instead, enjoying the summer sunshine?
Seeing the “before” shot first hand, I know this was quite the project. But the result looks great! Now I need to do the same for our second bathroom.
having two bathrooms is both a blessing and a curse…more to clean!
I know…I shower in my upstairs one and get ready for the day in the downstairs half-bath, so they are both always a mess…ugh.
I feel your pain, lady!
Yay for Pinterest organizing! I did some major spring cleaning a few weeks ago for my annual apartment inspection…boy did I throw out a lot of crapola! I feel less stressed now
It sure is nice to have a deadline like the apartment inspection to inspire us! I *love* having less stuff but I still want more. It doesn’t make any sense!
I can’t believe how organized and pretty your bathroom looks. Will you come & organize mine? It’s in dire need of a make-over!
Glad to hear I’m not the only one! I wish I could fly back to MN and hang out with you, it’d be worth cleaning/organizing your bathroom for some Tai Time!
After you’re finished with Tai’s, stop on by Sandcherry Place too!
I would love nothing more!
I am living in chaos once again. I decided to re-do the bedroom and bought some bedside tables and lamps. Very cool. I pulled most of the furniture into the dining room. UGH. Now I am debating painting the whole house that cheyenne tan. i will think about it this weekend and then start on Monday. WOW. lv mamap
Whoa, sounds like lots of fun changes!! I’ve never seen Cheyenne tan, sounds lovely and neutral though!
isn’t that the color you used? lv mamap
ooohh…your ‘spring cleaning’ always inspires me. I may have to retackle my bathrooms again…I think about a year ago today I did it per some inspiration from you as well…time to rewipe, reorganize. I have to admit the ‘before’ shot does NOT look like you at all! ;-P thanks for the inspiration…I’ll have to get some Saturday morning cleaning in today
