(Or Master Bedroom)

I am cleaning/decluttering my house one room each month, starting with my bedroom.

Anyone care to join me?

Yay!

We're getting off to a really late start, but let's just do what we can over the next week.

I'll post a new room challenge in February!

Ok, I'll join but I think it will take me more than a month!

I started going through & getting rid of old income tax & junk piled up downstairs. Oh, what a mess.

This has been my project for this month....and I have gotten alot done. I spent a week decluttering and deep cleaning. I even cleaned out my dresser drawers.I did throw out alot of old undies and such....why do I keep them when they hit the saggy stage? So I did have to go buy some new ones...should have done that first! I deserve to have a place of comfort and peace....and that is my master bedroom.

truer words have never been spoken

Good luck! I've already done this step and it's so liberating!

I'm in...I've been working on other stuff, so I can justify ignoring my room. Sometimes I wonder, why is this such an overwhelming task? I have way, way too much stuff!!! I know, anyone who's seen it knows it, but I seem to stall every time I'm going to clean it up.

I'm with Pinetree it may take more than a month.

I like the idea of decluttering rather than just cleaning, I need to purge a big bunch of stuff. So, I'll give a go...

I'm in! I'll go get started right now!

I just started my bedroom last weekend and finished up this weekend. It feels great to open the closets and dresser drawers in there now, they are now neat and organized. I then moved on to the living room. I need to work on the kitchen and office next (soon to be the baby's room).

I got 6 lawn & leaf bags purged so far, have 2 full bags to put thru the shredder... 6 banker boxes empty,, I haven't made a dent yet.. I'll keep working.

Am I the only one who has to declutter another room, in order to declutter another? By the time I get to my bedroom you guys will be done!

I started doing this with my gf over from out of town this weekend. We put on a good 'chick flick' and I just held up clothes to my body in the mirror and every so often would ask her opinion of what she thought I should do with it: keep or donate? A lot went to donation...I think I have 2 garbage bags worth so far and I'm nowhere near done purging clothes. I have a lot of items which I have not worn in the last year HOWEVER I am afraid to part with...sometimes you just have to do it on PMS or else you'll always have it laying around as clutter hahahaa!
