As promised here are the results of the messy kitchen challenge at my house. 15 minutes tidied up the whole lot pretty nicely. Unfortunately you cannot see the messy side of the cook top because I did not include it in my shot. It was piled with a whole bunch of this and that including a party pack of bubbles, four different cooking oils and blank trading cards for a project I working on for a class.
I added the extra five to finally put away my crockpots and empty the dishwasher.
I am really happy with my results and oddly this was the tidiest room in the house. The rest will not be so pretty, but there is comfort in truth. Truth can be a beautiful word when accepted for what it really is. To be truthful, I am super busy and overwhelmed with parenting and work related activity and am excited that progress and peace are just minutes away!
Your “Before” photo looks like my “After”! I barely even saw a mess in there!
