Ode to Kelsey Scroggings!

Quick overview: I've lived with my brother in a duplex by the Conway airport for the last year...we were planning to move, but found it more beneficial to not move. In the past year I have changed A LOT....i mean it. I've noticed i'm a completely different person, my family definitly knows it, and my friends can see it. I'm finally happy. so, what do those two sentences have in common??? the start of my new future. I'm starting to be much more thankful for what I have and excited about what is to come. So today....I'm fixing up my less-than-pleasant duplex and making it brand new. I'm going to scrub EVERY inch of it!! Yes, not kidding....I will have a bucket of pine sol and comet and clean corners, baseboards, ledges...i'm even gutting my cabinets and scrubbing those out. I PROMISE, not one inch of the house will be untouched (in other words...i'm going to Kelsey Scroggins clean :) ) So right now, i'm eating New England Clam chowder soup (lunch of champions) and reading the Young House Love blog (formally "this young house) and about to burn a cd. I will edit this same post tonight when I"m done with pictures and information about the day....be sure to check it out again!!! ***que jeapordy theme music***
Alrighty!!!! I lied ...I swore I was going to do the whole house but I literally have only been doing my room from 2-11. I took a bucket of pine sol and wiped down all of my walls, dust/webs off my ceiling, wiped down doors, floor boards... EVERY inch of all of my furniture. Those are the things you can't tell by the pictures, but I surely can...here are some shots: This is before.
Here are some intermediate shots...about the time when I started realizing just how long this was going to take.
P.S...This is why things take longer at my house...thanks Snoop for helping with the laundry!
Here's two out of my EIGHT organized drawers.
Here's my new best friend...my expandable folder...best. invention. EVER.
Definitly the highlight of my day....cleaning out my closet...Kels, I took your advice and changed all my hangers to white.. Here's the before and the after.aaaaannnddd finally...the after pictures of my room
