Mr. Clean Sponges.

Well, the reality is that we’ve been in this house for about 3.5 years now, doing DIY projects, raising kids and just generally being a pretty normal family.All that normal family stuff can sure cause you to accumulate a whooole lots of junk.

Can I get an “Amen”?.While the main parts of our house are usually pretty tidy and presentable, we had a dark, dark secret.Well, a couple of them actually.

Whenever we had a piece of furniture that we didn’t need, or a toy that wasn’t being played with anymore, we would just put it in the basement.Or the garage attic.

Seriously, it was bad.. And I knew it was bad, but I didn’t really realize how bad it was.

I was so confused at why I would “declutter” every week by filling an extra garbage bag or two with stuff from the basement or random closets and yet I never really seemed to make a big dent in it at all.. You know all of those amazing built-in projects that Chris puts together?I also changed up the monogram over the bed a little bit by sticking it on this frame with some burlap in it.

It was a little bit because I wanted a cleaner look, but mostly because the letters kept falling off the wall and taking paint with them and it usually just said “mg”.Those are actually Kennedy’s uncle’s initials and, believe it or not, this room just wouldn’t suit him..

So Kennedy’s full monogram was restored..Bonus: They’ve actually stayed up for three consecutive days now!
