5yo Daughter's Bedroom


Here is my daughter's room...before/during/after.
It is quite embarrassing, and it reminds me of my own childhood. If this inspires just one person out there to buy this book and be inspired to clean up...well, it's worth posting.
This took us a few days to go through...she sorted her clothes, toys, and books.

Before
This reminds me of my childhood!





During
Clothes from her floor!! THAT'S where all the towels went!

Sorting through her clothes and keeping the ones that spark joy...yes, she put her little brother in the keep pile!

Had to take apart this beast...with an allen wrench. :/

After
She now has a makeshift vanity to do her hair.

Ahhh...so much better! The room just feels so welcoming.

This is what I consider my home...99% of the time. I've never been a neat freak; I've always had trouble keeping my room, and later on my home, clean.

So, the book is...



If you have never heard of it, I would highly recommend reading it! This blog will be about my tidy adventures! I will post about the process, before and after photos, update photos and other random things that have to do with tidying the home.
