Liberating....

Since I came home I keep wanting to go crazy with how much CRAP I have. I seriously can't believe how much randomness I have shoved in all these different places throughout the house. I decided that I could handle taking one room at a time and completely cleaning it out and throwing away EVERYTHING I don't use. No more pack rat. I feel like after I do that I will feel better about decorating more and stuff like that. So I thought just for fun I would document my progress. Here is day 1: the kitchen. Please note that it was extremely messy ON TOP of all the clutter when I took the before pictures.

AFTER:





AHHHHHHH I CAN BREATHE!

Awesome! That's gotta feel good!

PS. My husband and I are thinking of kitchen color schemes (we're buying a duplex this week and remodeling half of it) and we were totally going to go for the dark countertops and gray, but we were thinking gray cabinets! I like your white cabinets and gray walls! I'll be making him look at these pictures... ;)
