WTG!!!
I'm having issues with under the bed. I'd love to have it completely cleared out and nothing underneath.
Well, my bedroom is clean now, but dh's side is still cluttered. I can't get rid of his 'stuff' because I know he'd have a cow if I did it. My side and dresser look okay. For what it's worth, I did just do a major decluttering in there about a couple of months ago. So, my drawers are neat and done, my closet too.

I have nothing under our king-sized bed. Absolutely nothing.
We used to have our mattress on the floor, and we got a frame so we could keep dust away. We ripped up carpet and put flooring in. I love the way it looks -- clean and sparse. I just have to get attack the clutter on the *sides* of the bed and the other side of the room -- the actual bed is very clean.
Pic of my room with just the bed in it, before adding back everything else, LOL:
That is so my goal!!! I was shopping for new bedding today. I'm going to take dh with me next Thurs on his day off to check them out.
I really like one with embroidered flowers on it but the doggie sleeps with us, so for now that's out. I think if I got some new bedding I would be more inclided to clean under it. Maybe not. lol
The only thing under our king-size bed is an emergency rescue ladder thing in case of fire (2-story house...it's a long way down). Oh and occassionally a cat!
I don't know why I don't store anything under there - when I was a kid I know I shoved everything under the bed. In college though I just had a mattress on the floor - maybe that broke my habit.
My decluttering goal is to have nothing in storage except for what will fit in a little raised corner of our basement.
The only thing I store under there is our out of season clothes. Somehow, junk just appears there! Half of the kids toys end up under the bed, along with the dust bunnies, books, papers...the list goes on and on. I want a bed that sits directly on the floor with no room for stuff to accumulate, lol!
It's amazing the stuff we find under our beds too! I only purposely keep the cradle there (no room anyplace else), but all sorts of things migrate underneath my bed. Under my kids' beds too- all sorts of little toys, odd socks, etc.

WAY TO GO EVERYONE! I am inspired... I need to really get on it!
Love Val
PS Lauren I love the tapestry you have on your bed... we have a top sheet we are useing as a bed cover... it works, but matches the bottom sheet we use and so it all looks too well matched... you know? But I love yours!
I currently have some of the larger things Josh has outgrown stored under our bed but they are all things that are going to the church so once I get the storage boxes for the church it will all be gone. Hopefully this next week.

I finally finished the toys from last week too. I have done the master bedroom/bathroom, the front bathroom and the hall. They are spring cleaned, neat etc... I need to drop off the declutter stuff and thats about it.
Now I just need to get to the kids rooms. LOL They are actually looking forward to it.

I did something!!!!!!!!! I pulled all of the junk out of the back of Dh's closet and it is all over the floor... but I did something! I will get started tomorrow on it some more. Don is going to be gone, so it will be tough again... but at least I am motivated!

Way to go, everyone!
I finally did something too...organized the videos in the closet. We're going to the beach, but when we come back, I am going to finish putting away the laundry, straighten the master bedroom closet, and maybe even declutter and dust off the dressers. Then I will feel like I've at least gotten something done!
