cleaning.....organizing..two of my favorite things!

So last weekend I made my husband help me freshen up the downstairs. We PURGED a ton of stuff and dropped off several loads to the Salvation Army. I reorganized...rearranged...and this is what I came up with:


Here is one side of the room, there is a big screen tv on the right hand wall...but I think Tv's are ugly...so i did not put it in the picture! Can you see my dog's head under the coffee table?? lol

This is the other side of the room...it has always been a play area, but I cleaned out so many old toys, and reorganized everything. I moved this huge armoire in here to house all of Anna's crafting supplies. We put her little picnic table beside it, she loves to have her own "Craft studio"

I made these banners for there play area...they look wayyy cuter in person.




This banner is by her table



Turned out really cute..I think. I love getting rid of things that are not being used...it's so super refreshing!!



I thought I would share my little "nook" of the downstairs. My crafting area is on one side of the laundry room downstairs.



Have a wonderful day everyone....I am off to make candles!!

It looks awesome! You guys did a great job organizing and cleaning...two of my favorite things too :) Love your little craft nook...I SOOOOO need one of those, hopefully one day. The banners you made for Anna and Allie are adorable...aren't they addicting? Hmmmm, seems I haven't had much time for them lately since Edwards came into my life...*sigh*

I love you SO much...much much...very much! :)

Hope you're having a fabulous day!
