40 Bags in 40 Days-Post Six

I had a busy weekend with surprise visitors so I took a break from my rampage through the house.

Matt's room (well when he's home from college) was up next. It's a little room so pretty easy. EXCEPT that I got carried away when I started cleaning and realized how bad the trim and doors needed to be painted. I had the house painted a few years ago but we skipped this room because it will full of Legos and lizards and lots of things.

I whipped out the paint and drop cloths and painted the trim in one day-the same day I repainted the desk. (Remember I have NO kids home during the day-they are all at school)! Doing this slowed me down a little bit also. But the room looks SO fresh and clean.

Keep in mind that with photos show a room I just cleaned and that no one for this minute lives in. Matt is coming home from spring break, so Andrew moved into the "boy's room". Which is up next for me to tackle. Maybe I should post a pic of what this room looks like after a college kid comes home. Eeeek!

All furniture in here was free from various sources.

The "kid's" bathroom. We are lucky to now have three full baths in our house, but when we just had two this was called "the kid's bathroom". It is small and simple. Easy to clean with great original-to-the-house built in storage.

Abbey's things on the right, boy's on the left. :)

Janey's room! For those new here Janey is seven. Her room is the perfect size and she has a great closet.

Bed was a Craigslist find that I painted and wicker end table to given to me by a friend that was moving. Her pictures are from a book I had when I was younger-I bought a used copy and chose a morning prayer to frame.

The curtains are made out of two cotto tablecloths I found at TJ Maxx at Easter time-they have pink stitching.

40 Bags in 40 Days-Post Three

What a dreary Monday we are having here, but the sun and temps look great for the week.

Up next for today's 40 Bags is my closet.

I don't like a lot of clothes and shoes and find myself wearing the same things again and again. As a stay at home mom, I seem to always have had a "uniform" depending on what the fashion is. It went from leggings, to khakis, to yoga pants, back to leggings again! With jeans mixed in and a few dress up things. Cotton sweaters and tops. Shorts and easy dresses in the summer.

I am the same with jewelry. Less is more for me.

I always say the more I simplify the more I use what I have. SO true with clothes. And I LOVE cleaning out closets. Call me if you need my help! :)

Tips at the end of the post...

I am a size 10.5 and so I have to order my shoes online almost always. Therefore-less shoes, because that is a pain! I also have another area for shoes at the front of the closet.

Welcome to 40 Bags in 40 Days Post Two!

My bedroom was assigned this day. I keep my bedroom extremely simple and just recently did a pretty redo so I'm going to share before and after photos also.
