Well, almost. 6 bags, 4 boxes and 1 trip to Goodwill later - my house is 75% decluttered, organized and cleaned! I had posted last week about not even knowing where to start (thanks again for all the advice ladies! ), and this weekend I just went at it. I've still got a few rooms to finish up in, but I just feel so much better knowing that I've got most of it done already. I can't wait to go home from work today and get started on the remaining areas! My goal is to have the house completely spotless and organized by the end of the weekend. A few nights in each room, and working one of the 2 days this weekend will be all it takes. It feels so good!

Great work! Congratulations!!! It's hard to get started sometimes, but it feels SO GOOD afterwards, when you have a nice clean home!

Congratulations! How did you manage?! I would have given up after one room. That would be too overwhelming for me. You must feel a tremendous weight has been lifted. You're inspiring to those still in the decluttering phase.

Thanks you guys! It was difficult, but like everyone suggested like week, I just took it one room at a time! The stress lifted off me is amazing though. Its so nice knowing that I just need to do a few more things, and a little every night to keep up the good looks and vibe of the house!

Good for you! Doesn't it feel great? I spent the first two months of this year decluttering and I've been ruthless about it......finally! I love to have less stuff! Less to clean up!

What an accomplishment!

Happy for you! I agree. My house is pretty decluttered in every room and I feel so light! I keep going in the drawers to see what else can be purged.
