Summertime Decluttering: Week 3

I skipped a week, but I am wrapping up my get-ready-for-summer decluttering today. You can check out my earlier progress here:

You will be shocked to hear that I never got to the bathroom cabinet.

However, I did go through my personal bookshelf and cleared out enough volumes that everything remaining fit. Then I promptly ran out and bought that copy of Little Women which does not fit.

Books. books, beautiful books.
Books. books, beautiful books.

For this week, I wanted to focus on a hot spot that has been bothering me for ages. So I decided to clean out this kitchen cupboard where the paper products are literally thrown:

Seriously??
Seriously??

And here it is after!

Why do we have so many paper napkins?
Why do we have so many paper napkins?

So I didn’t get as much decluttering done as I wanted, but I still managed to donate three big boxes and about a half dozen brown bags full of stuff.

Plus, it motivated me to work on cleaning up other parts of the house as well. I even uncovered the kitchen counter last night.

I haven’t seen this counter in months. I almost forgot what it looked like.

What about you? Did you get any extra cleaning or decluttering done before school got out?
