52-Week Organization Challenge-My side of the bed

This past week I cleaned my side of the bed. I'm very sad because I thought I took before pictures and I didn't!! Ugh! I went around the house and took pictures of my ever-consuming clutter that I can't seem to get a handle on. So let's see if I can give a visual. As you look at the pictures, try to visualize the area around my bedside table completely stacked up with books and an assortment of junk. Then alongside under the window were a line of cute storage bins filled and overflowing all over the floor with papers, magazines, kid stuff. Then heading toward my bathroom were more plastic bins and a box of garage sale stuff. I emptied everything, threw most of it out, found homes for the rest. The paper in the corner is for a coconut tree I was cutting out for the playroom for a school project. It's very empty on that side now and I keep thinking I need to put something under the window but that will just clutter it up again. So it will remain empty for the time being. This took me all week. A much bigger job than it appeared. That and the fact Cloee was recovering from RSV then I got sick. Fun times at our house. This next week I won't be doing a big clean out other than cleaning the house and the playroom. We're having a birthday party here next weekend so I need the "seeable" areas presentable. haha. But, don't worry, the playroom is a DISASTER. So you will get before and after pictures!





Linking up to Orgjunkie this week. This is such a fun challenge-I'm loving it and so is my husband!!

Okay! My side of the bed is clean! WoooHooo! It has been for a while though. So I guess I don't get Brownie points for that. LOL Still inspired by your posts though!

We FINALLY cleaned out the garage last weekend. It's such a great feeling to get rid of junk and trash and have a new, clean space! I totally need to tackle the fridge today. It's my Monday off so we'll see how much I can get done. Thanks for the post.
