I must have been on some kind crazy energy high or something because once I got started today, I couldn't stop! I de-cluttered the first floor and then went on to the deep clean the living room. This was supposed to be done on "days 2-3" in the Spring Cleaning Party schedule but I was on a roll!

First I cleaned out everything. The furniture and baby stayed - everything else was cleaned off and moved out to the diningroom. It's amazing how much stuff we had crammed in there! I was able to get rid of a ton of stuff too. I was ruthless and it was worth it.

Now on to the pictures:

Here is the mess I created while clearing EVERYTHING out of the living room:

I don't know how we thought all of this belonged in the livingroom!

Here are the Before and after pictures for the living room:
