**UPDATE AT TOP** Get ready for the Master Bedroom declutter challenge on Monday!

HERE IT IS


I am all ready... what do you guys think... a week? Three days? What will it take you to get this room done? I am up for either, becuase I will do the kids bedroom at the same time since I concentrated on the play room this week. So just let me know and I will set it up! This is turning out to be a lot of fun! I love hearing about how productive everyone is... that really has kept me motivated. You guys are just great!

Love Val

A week is good w/me, but I'll hustle if everyone outvotes me. With school for 18 hrs a week, and still chugging along full-speed getting school and therapies in place for Jacob, I'm one busy mama. In fact, I still have to finish the kids' room/playroom, and I have to file the taxes (that's tonight, mama got a night off from dh & kids just for that purpose!).

I'm loving this, though. It's VERY motivating. Yeah!

I say definitely a week! With three toddlers at home, cleaning time isn't much!

I actually need to concentrate on my "guest" bedrrom, and I'll definitely need a week, as I am also still trying to finish up the paint in my kitchen.

I'll need a week. I'll have two days where Joshie is in preschool. This will be an awesome time to work uninterrupted.

I also need to finish painting Joshie's room. It should only take me about an hour. I just wanted to wait until it warmed up again to be able to air out the fumes. We painted his room big-bird yellow. You can't help but smile when you walk in there.

I'd like to join in, and I'd need a week, too. We just moved Feb 1, and I still have a half dozen boxes piled in the mb, including three just of bathroom stuff (is it okay to put the master bath with the master bdrm?) I've got a cabinet to put the stuff in, it just needs to be assembled and then the stuff sorted -- most will be thrown out, I think.

I'm really looking forward to this!

Rebecka, Whatever you need to add is fine.. just keep us updated... we are here to motivate not moderate! lol... (not laughing at you, just laughing cus I am being a little "punny". Tehehe...)

I would love to see pictures of the clean bedrooms too. Please post... those are where I get my ideas... anyone else?

I am excited too, this really worked to motivate me last week and I would love to get all the way through the house with this!

I'm game to give it a try. I did just join flylady - I don't know what her plan is for this week...I've been after dh to do his half of the room. Maybe this will be the final push! (I'd do pictures, but I don't have a digital camera)

Here is a great list for cleaning/decluttering the mb that I found on The Organizer Home.

http://organizedhome.net/content-16.html

I just printed this one and the one for the master bath to give me a guide for this week.

I'm going to join you all, if you don't mind! I don't think I've ever posted on this board, but I sure could use some motivation to declutter. At our house, all the clutter ends up in the master bedroom!

Wow thanks for posting that link I still haven't done the kids play room but I did order some stuff I need for organizing the felts, and thats a step

I really like having a clean MB to go to sleep in at night and dh LOVES it so this is a good project for me to take on.

Val I'll try and do some pics, but I'll just be happy if I do it in the first place

Thanks for the motivations mamas,
Sarah

Ok, I'm ready. (imagine the Rocky theme playing in the background)

I'm going to try decluttering dh's side of the closet today before buying any shelves or stuff like that. I think it can be done if I can get rid of some of his stuff.

Well, I'm not getting rid of it. I'm going to put a lot of it into storage containers and rotate them. This man has about 50
t-shirts. And about 30 pairs of shoes.

If I wasn't so lame, I'd post pics. I just can't figure that one out. I'd love to have a pic of my boys in my siggy line. Anyone want to help me out? (Val: hint, hint)
