Declutter of the Master Bedroom, Take 1

Before:  My room is the drop off point for all items unclaimed, broken, misplaced, etc.  If someone doesn't want it or need it, it ends up in front of my closet.  If we are having company, the "quick pick up" items are thrown in there too.

I had planned to clean out our master bedroom in January.  Well, I just got a minute to breath, looked at the calendar, and it is July!  I guess I'm a little late with this goal. 

So, last week end, I got up on Saturday, and decided "today is the day"  I planned to work about an hour, then come back another day.  But things really came together, and I made a lot of progress.  I worked about three hours, and cleared out the following:  3 bags of trash, two empty boxes, 20 pairs of shoes, two bags of donations, and some large baby items to go to the consignment sale. 

My Grandboy came in my room Sunday, looked around for his Papa, and said, "Look Honey, you cleaned up your mess!"  So sweet that he noticed!  Everyone else thought it was hilarious!  Here is the after shot.

I know I'm not completely there yet, but you can see a lot of progress was made.  Grandboy appreciates me and my hard work.  But I think he was really excited because now he can get to my shoes to try on the high heels!

Maybe by Christmas, my room will look like a magazine photo, and my husband and I will enjoy being able to spend more time in here.  At least we don't have to tiptoe around in the dark, hoping we don't step on something.  We are possibly having company this week, so now the push is on!  I'll keep you posted.  Thanks for stopping by!  Honey
