31 Days {Day 31} Cleaning the Garage & The End


On this beautiful Halloween night, we cleaned the garage.  It was getting dark when we finished and straight into trick-or-treater time, but alas it is done.  And not only that, but this 31 Days is done!

This is going to be one of those before and afters where you have to use your imagination.  G started pulling everything out in the driveway before I got a chance to take a photo so this is a before that looks better than it should.

G in action, he did most of the work on this project.  Also, that dirty floor is shameful.

This is the after picture.  It was already dark.  Maybe I should have taken a picture of the pile of trash out for tomorrow.


We threw away tons of stuff and reorganized the rest.  I think the main problem with the garage was not putting things back in their proper places.  You set this here for now, and then that and before long it's just one long shelf of clutter.  

I don't know that I ever like how garages look but I'm happy with the progress we made.  In general, our house is feeling much lighter after these 31 days.  It's my car that is still overloaded with stuff waiting to distribute here and there.  

I hope you joined along with me cleaning out some things in the last month.  If you ever feel time is going by too fast, just commit to blogging every day for a month and it will feel like you are back in school again waiting for Christmas vacation.  

We will be back to regular blogging and Project 333 updates soon!  If there is anything in particular you liked hearing about, let me know.  Thanks so much to those of you who followed along.  It really made this month so much more fun.

xoxo--Jennifer

I must show this post to my husband...perhaps it will motivate us both to clean out our waaaay too cluttered garage.

Sorry I haven't been very commenty lately...have been working and vacationing lots last month.

I look forward to finding out more about your experiences with 333. xo, A
