:: The Autumn 'Spring' Clean ::

A few weeks ago I half-heartedly participated in A Beach Cottage's de-clutter mission. I did a pretty good job, but I wasn't completely dedicated because some rooms in my house are so messy that I didn't know where to start. You know how sometimes you just have so many things to do that you don't know where to start - so you don't do any of them? Yeah, that.

Gracie and I were speaking about our houses needing a good clean and we came up with the idea to follow on from A Beach Cottage's idea and host an Autumn 'Spring' Clean!

So, starting next weekend we will clean/de-clutter one room each weekend. If you spend a weekend focusing on just one room, it won't seem so daunting ... well, that's the plan anyway! Gracie and I will be posting before and after photos on our blogs, but also on Instagram and Twitter! So, if you choose to join us, use the hashtag #asclean so we can see your progress!

And now, just so you know I'm serious about messy rooms, check out my spare room. This room is supposed to be a second bedroom/craft room. Currently it is a dumping ground for things that don't have a home.

So, who's with us? Are you ready to give your house an Autumn/Spring clean?
