September Home Challenge

After a busy August with lots of grandchildren days, our entire home is in need of cleaning and organizing just about every corner. It’s a bit overwhelming as it can’t all be done in a day or 2. 
So I made a list of everything I wanted to fix and was surprised it added up to 30- which is  also the number of days in September.  
So,  my plan is to work on least 1 area a day and by the end of September,  our home should be good shape again.  

I’m off to a good start as 3 of the areas are already back in order and another one is started.  

Before and after pictures below and I am rather embarrassed by them but I know everyone wants to see results.  

The last photo is the before of the messy breakfast room- it will look much different when I’m done.  

The month is just getting started- anyone else want to join me on this challenge?

  4. That is a great challenge, September is a challenging month for me too because kids go back to school, we are going back to early mornings routines and I'm personally trying to do as much sewing done as possible.
