Lynnette had another brilliant idea, to take one room per week and totally organize and clean it. It's all about simplifying and getting rid of things we don't need, in order to keep our sanity!
I didn't know if I'd have time to participate this week, but a local furniture store was going out of business and we found an awesome deal on some new furniture for our living room. We had been hoping to find some, so that Morgan could have our old stuff for his TV room upstairs that he just finished. So, I took that opportunity to clean up the living room!
Y'all know I'm not a big fan of spending hours a day cleaning up, especially with 3 little girls who love to make a mess!
Here's proof......take a look:
Lily plays in the living room every day and after while, this is what it ends up looking like!
Everyone's clothes from that morning on the floor, blankets, even my shoes! 
Lily's cups on the table. 
And here's the after pictures:
I just love how much warmer the new furniture makes our room look!
And I had the girls take all the toys back upstairs. Who knows what that room looks like now! You clean one mess and make another.......that's how it works, right?!
We even got Bella a pillow to lay on, to try and keep her off the new couch.
Yay.......no more clothes and toys everywhere.
And Lily's cups have been replaced with my Starbucks coffee. Perfect! :D
It feels so nice to have it all clean! Thanks, Lynnette for motivating me!

I love the new furniture!!! That's a brilliant idea too! :) I think I may have to participate! :)
Love the new furniture!! So fabulous looking!
I love it so in and neat. Have you thought about painting your living area? I think that would look really nice in a tan or a brown? I need to get caught up on your blog, I have more books for you to read, you will have to check out my blog. I have read a lot this year, weird. Lauren has her shirt on again in the pictures.
It looks beautiful!! I love your new furniture!!
It looks great and I really like the new furniture! Kids can make such messes! It's crazy how quickly they can do it too. lol
It looks great, Kristin. I really wanted to participate. (And really NEED to simplify!!) But, it didn't happen this week. Maybe next week.
Love the new furniture!
Of course, your friend Lynnette spotted that Venti Starbucks! :) Your new furniture looks great! I agree, it looks warm and inviting.
I loved seeing Abigail's drawing up on your wall. It looks lovely there.
Good job on the simplifying. Looks great!

Lynnette
