The Live It With less inaugural Before and After shot.

This week’s Before and After shot is from fellow blogger, Caitlin from cluttercubed.com

BEFORE

I believe most people (myself included) would have had a Post-Christmas mess and various other mess accumulating in the living room from the holiday period.

AFTER

Caitlin explains : ” I took everything that didn’t belong in the living room to the places where they did belong, and tossed out all the paper and garbage leftover from gift wrapping. I vacuumed and dusted, and put the room back in order.I’d call this superficially clean, instead of thoroughly clean, as there are still some things that don’t really belong, but I could have a guest over now! I am pleased with how it turned out.”

Well done Caitlin, the living room look much less stressful and even your cat Dax looks more relaxed! Thank you for uploading your pictures to the Live It With less Flickr pool. and if you want to get more tips on how to conquer clutter make sure you visit Caitlin’s blog

If you have any before and after shots of decluttered rooms, work spaces, garages, or any other types of areas, even weight loss! I would love for you to share them by uploading to Flickr.

My aim is to feature a before and after each week, so there is a good chance you can be featured on this site too.

Enjoy

If I want to be inspired and continue to better myself, I absolutely love seeing and reading about examples from others, especially before and after shots of a success. 

I have created this blog to inspire myself and others, and I now give you the chance to do so as well. 

How? 

I have created a Flickr group so that you can upload your achievements to share with us and from time to time I will pick out some photos to feature on this site and if I find I am getting a good supply, I will incorporate as a weekly feature. 

What am I looking for? 

Anything really, decluttering  a room or a workspace, organizing your garage, detailing your filthy car, organizing your filing cabinet or even a picture of  yourself if you have achieved weight loss success. 

I have already kicked this off by uploading a before and after shot of my desk area at home and will add more as I declutter my whole house 

Below is the before shot of my desk in my study (you can also view a video of  the whole room here ). Actually the desk area is not too bad really, although you will notice in the top right mail tray is full with mostly unread junk mail that needs daily attention. Also, there a numerous stationery items that need to be put back after use. 

Now, here is the after shot. The desk is now clear and back to how it should be.  I have not re shuffled any of  the previous stuff. I simply gave each item serious thought. For example, the mail tray was processed until zero which I will continue to do so each day from now on. The stationery and notebooks were placed back were they came from, and a couple of  other smaller  items were returned back to the owners. 

Here is your chance to shine! 

Upload your before and afters to the Live It With less Flickr group and include a brief description explaining your success, that way if you get picked everyone will learn about how you achieved your success. 

ATTENTION:  I will feature the 1st, 5th and 10th person to upload their before and after shot. So get cracking, and hit me with your best shots!
