The first challenge in the 52 Week Organized Home Challenge is decluttering and organizing kitchen counters and the sink area.

Knife block is a new (used) addition bought from the thrift store, so is the beautiful pitcher holding the spatulas and such. Totally freed up drawer space which will help in the coming challenges.

It looks absolutely great! And wow, look at all that counter space. Lots of room. How awesome.

After - 1
Katy from Thrift Me shared several before and after pictures.
She said of the before picture, "Not the worst room in my home, but definitely messy. Dirty dishes, clutter, and folded laundry. {Hah!}"
It looked great when she was done!

After
Amy from Amy's Corner shared before and after pictures of her counters after doing the challenge.
She said, "I am happy to report that my kitchen has stayed clean for over a week now and almost every night the sink is clear of dishes.
The kitchen table has stayed clean (and I didn't even need a table cloth to achieve it)."

A Real Housewife in Houston blogged about her accomplishments from the first week's challenge.
One of the things she did was put up a couple items she was decluttering from her home for sale on eBay.
That is definitely a good way to make a little cash while also getting rid of clutter!

My super clean kitchen #1
Today I cleared off my kitchen counters, my table and sink!
It was quite easy because I don't really like to cook, so I don't have a lot of small appliances in there.
I don't have any pictures of my kitchen before, but I took a picture of what I got rid of and one of my kitchen free of those items and clear of any dirty dishes, cause there was a lot! (plumbing problem over the week-end... so I have not been able to wash anything during 3 days in a row.... ouash!)
So now I have taken possession of my kitchen again, here are the pictures!

Great job Bry!
