Purge Party {4} :: Faves and a Link-up Party

There were more amazing and delightful transformations this week.

I am so proud of you girls!

You inspire me so much!

Marcia from One Heart at Home titled her hilarious purge post:

A Fed Oscar is a not-so-Grouchy Oscar.

Marcia said, "Most of the stuff in this project went to Oscar the Grouch. 

He lives in our garbage can, you know, and he happens to be very happy 

with all these purge parties. I finally tackled our foyer closet."

And tackle it, she did. She wrestled it to the ground and beat that closet into submission!

BEFORE.

AFTER.

I hear angels singing, or is that Oscar singing?

Marcia's place is the first place I go when I need some encouragement from a sister.

Phaedra from Phaedra' Adventures tackled her Utility Closet.

I don't think I have ever seen a closet as spiffy as this one before.

Have you?

I think I might like cleaning if my closet looked like hers.

Phaedra has been going through her home, room by room and has MANY fantastic ideas!

An Anglo in Quebec really did her research before redesigning her kitchen.

She: 

...gathered inspiration pics from hundreds of her favorite mags.

...checked out every blog possible for ideas that would work in her home.

...considered her family's personal needs in a kitchen, how they'd use the space, what they were missing, what they would love to have.

Then put inspiration into action!

BEFORE.

After.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Go see her blog for more ideas!

I am delighted to be a part of your lives and as we all

encourage one another to let go of things, 

and stop placing so much meaning on the acquiring of STUFF.

And start thinking of our homes as havens, not catch-alls.

Places of ministry, hope and life.

The rules for this party are quite simple:

1.) Your post has to be about releasing extra clutter of the home (i.e. too many options, too many things, too many piles) or shedding extra clutter of the heart (i.e. overwhelm, weariness, disappointment, resentment).

If you find that your link is gone, it's not because I don't love it, it's because your post didn't follow rule #1. I'm sorry!  

2.) Link directly to the post that pertains, not the link to your blog.

[The code for the button is at the top right-hand side of this blog. It will link back here.]

3.) The link party begins at 12:01, Monday, March 28th 

and closes Thursday, March 31th at midnight EST.

4.) I will choose my favorite(s) and feature them next Monday!

So, LINK UP, share and inspire us!
