Mudroom Mayhem

Today's task was relatively simple but impactful. Although this is our side door, most people enter through here. This is a multipurpose room as it serves as our mudroom, laundry room, butler's pantry, and entrance!

...minus the clutter (and dog!).

Parting impression.

After:

...minus the clutter.

Again, this one was surprisingly simple. It was superficial as I've yet to tackle the cabinets and drawers.

I've really found through this blog that although I thought I kept a fairly neat and organized house, I really haven't been! I always cleaned the same things: our main living spaces. So, it felt/looked clean. However, I now realize that on the periphery I was piling, accumulating, and letting the mess take over. It would become part of the scenery and I would look over it and not notice anymore. Pictures a quite telling! I've learned a lot!
