Spring Cleaning Extravaganza: Week 1 Results!

I am happy to say that I have followed through with my post from last week.  I pulled myself together and got some stuff done. And I have to say, it feels really great!  Just in case you can't remember the things to do for Week 1....here they are... 
Week 1 {4/3-4/9} Entry/Living Room
·         Purge media stand DVDs
·         Organize TV stand drawers
·         Build/Buy shoe holder for garage
·         Remove shoes from kitchen area
Well, gals...here are the before and after pictures! 
And remember...don't judge me please! :)

BEFORE:
This is the back door...shoes collect here and make a MESS!
I added a towel to try and keep the mud under control. 
 
AFTER:
The shoes have been re-located.

AFTER:
 
This is in the garage. We bought a shoe rack and this was the most 
reasonable place to put it.  I love this new organization system of our shoes!

BEFORE:
 This is the media shelf in the living room.  This is pretty much how it has looked 
since I set it up when we moved in (Jan 11).

ITEMS THAT ARE GETTING A NEW HOME:



 AFTER:
 I added some books from our over crowded bookshelf in the guest bedroom.
I love how it looks now.


BEFORE:
This is the entertainment center...we keep the x-box accessories, 
Insanity DVD's and games in one drawer. And the leather cleaner for the couch in the other.

 AFTER:

And just to leave you hanging (literally) for next week...
