May Organizing Challenge: Link Party Recap!

Just when I thought you guys couldn't get any more awesome, you went ahead and linked up over <b>300</b> organizing projects during the <a href="http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2015/05/may-organizing-challenge-lets-get-this.html" target="_blank">May Organizing Challenge</a>!  That is an iHeart Organizing record!  I am so proud of all you accomplished and so grateful that you all took time to link up and share.  I enjoyed every last hour I spent looking at each post.<br /><br />I  always recommend taking time to sneak a peek at all of the link party  goodness, but with so many amazing posts to browse though, I thought I  would do a little recap today to highlight why these parties are so  great.  If these <i>real life </i>reader projects don't inspire you to empty  out a cabinet or fill your "donate" bin, then I don't know what will.  And with so many of you working on specific spaces during the <a href="http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/search/label/%22Wait-No-More%22%20Challenge" target="_blank">"Wait-No-More" challenge</a> this month, these projects should offer a little extra nudge and motivation.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Reader Space: Loads of Love for Laundry

Reader Spaces, oh how I have missed you!  Today's space is just what I needed to feel re-inspired about my own laundry situation.  Our laundry room makes me happy and isn't the most troubled spot in our home, but lately it has become a tornado of a mess and I have fallen behind with our daily washing routine.  There are a few lingering projects I would love to tackle in there, and I think that Jessica just bumped those up on our priority list.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMTVtq3NU-zxgLfRi0M1quD1TC3j_mcSRHhUK-46pi-ibkgzY0ukv5i9hfxWWsIgfXlPQ6eDTkhfZOpQgPwHG9THwMtSPbI5lIHgm_mFcv1DsTbAFvocemwe9WKg1LAYqoKIOTYCX_Ko1/s1600/Life+the+Fancy+Life+Editorial_Header.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnMTVtq3NU-zxgLfRi0M1quD1TC3j_mcSRHhUK-46pi-ibkgzY0ukv5i9hfxWWsIgfXlPQ6eDTkhfZOpQgPwHG9THwMtSPbI5lIHgm_mFcv1DsTbAFvocemwe9WKg1LAYqoKIOTYCX_Ko1/s1600/Life+the+Fancy+Life+Editorial_Header.png" /></a></div><br />Jessica blogs over at <a href="http://livethefancylife.com/" target="_blank">Live the Fancy Life,</a> and I love her mission!  <i>Live the Fancy Life is all about making every day count, living life to the fullest and enjoying the days we’ve been given.</i>  And she is practically my neighbor, so I can't help but feel a connection with her!  Not to mention, she offers amazing advice for dressing little dudes.<br /><br />When I first saw <a href="http://livethefancylife.com/our-dream-room-makeover/" target="_blank">her laundry room</a>, I quickly showed Bryan and begged him to finish up our laundry room projects.  He reminded me that we have a different project to finish up first, but he agreed, this is one heck of a transformation.  <br /><br />Let's begin by taking a look at Jessica's laundry room before her recent makeover.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPqHTj_0Kqekng8_fVnwKCCLIiLnnzsrXHl8j7_HNtPDwzvxS_MTbj30ZCDoPGci5CFOo3_JNOHsDHS4oQj8dEMX-Qdo0pkfZsVntwI1toABhqbIGdjz9fsutY71PsEMJV8rz1KmBs_CN/s1600/Carpet+One+Dream+Makeover+Laundry+Room+Before+photos+%25281+of+5%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfPqHTj_0Kqekng8_fVnwKCCLIiLnnzsrXHl8j7_HNtPDwzvxS_MTbj30ZCDoPGci5CFOo3_JNOHsDHS4oQj8dEMX-Qdo0pkfZsVntwI1toABhqbIGdjz9fsutY71PsEMJV8rz1KmBs_CN/s1600/Carpet+One+Dream+Makeover+Laundry+Room+Before+photos+%25281+of+5%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br />As you can see, it was begging for a little love and updating.  And that is just what happened!  I asked Jessica to stop by today to share more details.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #a20067;"><b>What is the main function of the space?</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Q8xuEl8ORhSMkqAlQx301VXcl53g3JK5BnmgoAMqQ4mOOQzuX9dM7Sj8qu_2XAQw9uB-yt1wA0qxIApTw4C5xM-S4kO4Dq4COn1ObJcpT6cxgqn1bqnuhmsFPrK_Tc0nDyzh8uK85fR-/s1600/Life+the+Fancy+Life+Editorial_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Q8xuEl8ORhSMkqAlQx301VXcl53g3JK5BnmgoAMqQ4mOOQzuX9dM7Sj8qu_2XAQw9uB-yt1wA0qxIApTw4C5xM-S4kO4Dq4COn1ObJcpT6cxgqn1bqnuhmsFPrK_Tc0nDyzh8uK85fR-/s1600/Life+the+Fancy+Life+Editorial_004.jpg" /></a></div><br /><i>"Laundry, laundry, laundry.

March Monthly Organizing Challenge: Link Party Recap!

Well friends, you did it!  You organized your tails off and shared so much goodness with me.  The eye candy was off the charts amazing, and I just loved taking hours to peruse through all of your projects from <a href="http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2015/02/march-organizing-challenge-lets-get.html" target="_blank">our last link party</a>.<br /><br />I always recommend taking time to sneak a peek at all of the link party goodness, but with so many amazing posts to browse though, I thought I would do a little recap today to highlight why these parties are so great.  If these real life reader projects don't inspire you to empty out a cabinet or fill your "donate" bin, then I don't know what will.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
