Purge & Declutter: Week 4

We got another room on our list done! Yay! I'm loving this plan.... slowly but surely... my house just might get organized! It's all leading up to the grand finale of our Junk (ie: guest) room. When we clean one room, and don't know what to do with the extra junk, that's where it goes. That room is gonna take several weeks! But we'll get there eventually!

So last night we cleaned and reorganized our BACK PORCH. It was piled with boxes, trashbags and a thick layer of pollen. Now it's cleaned, decluttered, and it's a play-space for Josiah! It only took us one hour to totally transform the space! I had gotten these foam letters at the thrift store for $7 and yesterday I found this great activity table on craigslist for $20. It was going to be a birthday present, but we had nowhere to store/hide it, so he gets it early! We'd love to close in the porch so he could use it year round, but for now, I think I'll just hang some waterproof curtains (ie: shower curtains) to deflect any rain and it'll be good for the summer. :)

I forgot to take a before picture... but here's the "after" (I do still have curtains to get and I want to hang some lantern light-strings I have too):
