Finished Projects: Our House

We moved in our house about 6 1/2 years ago.  It has been a long process of organizing, figuring out space utilization, de-cluttering and cleaning.  Last year we decided to see how simple and minimal we could get.  This is where we arrived.  We may try to de-clutter further but right now we have things in our home that we love.  We went with decor that works in almost every room.  Then if we want to shake things up a bit we can easily move things around.  Here are some of the rooms:

Living Room

Kitchen

Master Bedroom

Mudroom

We did replace the henious green floor in this three season porch.  The material was free from a friend (thanks Kevin!) and we just had to pay for install.  For our family it worked better to use it as a mudroom.  It is right off the garage and leads into the kitchen.  Using it for a sitting room would have been another empty space to fill up with stuff we didn't need.  We added hooks ($30 from Target) and the two benches ($100 from Shopko and the other was $40 from Walmart). 

To start go room by room.  Is there any big furniture you don't need that's just taking up space?  Then move to the walls, shelves, tables, drawers, closets and finally the floor.  Anything that you do not use or absolutely love get rid of.  If there is something you just can't part with see if it works better in a different room.  Happy de-cluttering!
