Spring Cleaning Challenge: Update #1

Soooooo...it has been just over a week since I started the Spring Cleaning Challenge and I have cleaned and reorganized 7 of my 30 spaces. Not too shabby, especially considering the fact that we were out of town this past weekend, celebrating our wedding anniversary. 

Here is a before and after photo of the first space I tackled, the bookshelf in our family room...

I must admit that one of the spaces was done for me. We decided to hire gardeners (so far it is the best decision ever) and they cleaned up our garden. I do still plan to plant some things by the end of the month to accompany the surviving rosemary from last season. 

Here is my updated list, with the spaces that have been cleaned/reorganized crossed off. I loooooooove crossing things off lists. 

1. Bathroom
2. Bedroom
3. Bedroom - Closet
4. Bedroom - Nightstands
5. Bedroom - Dressers
6. Office 
7. Office - Desk/Filing
8. Office - Bookshelves
9. Office - Closet
10. Guest Room 
11. Guest Room - Closet
12. Living Room
13. Dining Room
14. Dining Room - Bar Cabinets
15. Kitchen
16. Kitchen - Refrigerator
17. Kitchen - Pantry cabinets

In addition to getting these spaces crossed off the list, I have also done some general cleaning around our house today -- laundry, dusting, vacuuming. I really like having a day off to run errands and clean. (I'm actually not being sarcastic.)
