Spring Cleaning...a little late.

I know spring is almost over, but we are finally getting down to cleaning a few places up around here. I was inspired by my friend Joani and Sarah who both posted before and after pictures of their cleaning. I thought I'd do the same. And let me tell you I may do it from now on when I clean, it is so encouraging. I loved getting to see the before and the after and realize "ya, I really did clean a lot!" It was great.

Before:

So on Saturday I cleaned the kitchen, really cleaned it. I didn't get the idea about pictures until I was half way through so you'll just have to see the before and after of the pantry and the sink area. I did a deep cleaning on the pantry a few months ago which made this cleaning pretty easy. Just wiping down the shelves and rearranging stuff.

After:

(ignore the dishes on the right hand side. I meant to move those before the "after" shot. I'm still a little new at the whole thing :-))

We also got started on other areas of the house - the garage, our storage room, the coffee roasting room, our bedroom, etc. They are all still in process though so you'll just have to enjoy the kitchen. I hope thats enough to get you inspired, its still spring so get out there and get clean :-)
