A Practical Walk

I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for before and after pictures! I can get sucked into the internet forever looking at them. Whether it be before and after haircuts, make-overs, weightloss, room upgrades or decluttering sessions…(especially decluttering sessions) I find them inspirational!

I prefer my before and afters to look real. You know, the lady who lost 100 lbs, but didn’t photoshop that second picture. The before and after of a room-makeover that doesn’t just included purchasing all brand new furniture. Seeing real-life makes it feel more attainable by your average joe…or jane.

So today I’m bringing you into my real-life bedroom to show you a little before and after of a simple tidy-up. It’s amazing what just a little picking up can do. Now…to excuse myself a little, yesterday (and by yesterday, I mean day before yesterday, as I didn’t get this post finished) was a weird day. We had highwinds which caused our power to go out for several hours. I also ended up going on a last minute Goodwill run, and got some good scores there! Anyways..I’m using those as my excuses as to why my room got to this point to begin with.

Much to my delight my husband asked me to go through his clothes for him. To get rid out things he didn’t wear, and to put winter clothes away. I was estatic about this opportunity, because I really love decluttering!! 🙂 I found 3 shirts to get rid of, one of which my son said he might wear.

So there you have my very real bedroom tidy-up. Cost me no money, just a little bit of time and the results made me feel better in an orderly room.

Do you love before and after photos? Do you ever take pictures of your rooms before and after you clean them?
