Bedroom Challenge - Completed - And I am SO EMBARRASSED!
By Lara | August 11, 2008
OK, this is SOOOOOOOOOOO embarrassing! I feel SO ashamed!!! HOW do I let it get so bad??? When I looked at my room before I began to even clean, I wanted to cry. I mean, honestly, there is NO excuse to let a room get so bad! 
And, this is not even the worst room in my house.
OK, well, I really can NOT believe that I do this to myself…ROFL. I mean I MUST be nuts to share these pics!!!!!
Before and After Pictures of the Master Bedroom Cleaning Challenge:
OK, this is a picture of what is SUPPOSED to be my NEAT DH’s dresser. However, I am sure you can see I have hijaked it with the messies!
This is what it SHOULD look like! DH is going to be SOOOOOO happy!! The little box on the white dresser are things I found that are his…ROFLMBO!
This is a picture of our tall dresser/chest and what lurks beside it. Also, note the arrow. That is wrapping paper from LAST Christmas!!!!
My DH LOVES uncluttered flat surfaces! I had to add SOME stuff…but tried to keep them as clear as possible. Note how clean the side of the dresser is! I hope he likes them!!
Just LOOK at the MASS of clothes!!! No wonder I can never FIND anything to wear!! ACK!!!!
Ahhh, I am STUNNED at how NEAT it looks! And look at the nice bed through the mirror!!! WHOO HOO! And, my clothes are NEATLY placed in their drawers!!
These are before pictures of what you can see of the floor. I wonder what my cat is thinking??? I know I am like…AHHHHHHHHHHHH! (The after pics of floor can be seen in all after pics.)
These are on and around my bed before cleaning. I do not know how we even found the bed each night!
My side of the bed. CLEAN floor! No junk. And, NO MORE Christmas wrapping paper!
DH’s side of bed. Note the arrows. Those items will be put in the closet. However, THAT is a WHOLE other challenge! ROFL! So, DH, said thy can stay their temporarily!
Ahhh…is all I have to say.
ROFLMBO! Do you SEE the DUST??? YUCK! I am SO ashamed!
Ahhh…clean lungs again!
OK, there you go…I hope this helps YOU realize that if you are a messie, you are NOT the only one and there ARE worse messies out there! AND…that you CAN get it clean!!!
I will post the next cleaning challenge soon…..

Amazing transformation! I should have joined this challenge, but found it too late. The bedroom is neat and organized, but the closet in there is a nightmare.

Well, stay tuned…the closet is the next one! LOL

Congratulations! I joined the challenge, but did not complete. I did set up a blog and have posted a few pics. I am so far behind, but I did get the filing cabinet cleaned out and eliminated LOTS of old papers, bills, etc. I will stay tuned for the next challenge.

WOW you did a good job. I forgot to take the pics of before and after of my room so I decided not to post about it. However, I’m in on the closet challenge.

Wow you have more guts than me! I probably should take pics of my messy house just to get people to keep me accountable of getting it clean. Do you follow the “organizer lady”, or is this just your own doing?

Oh Lara! I just did mine too. It was before you posted the challenge so nobody gets to see any pictures, but mine was so BAD! The dust on the headboard of our bed was VERY THICK! I had a pile behind the bathroom door that could have been mistaken for the Tower of Babel!

Good job! I think it looks great. My problem is I can get it looking that way I just can’t get it to stay that way.

YAY, You! That was a LOT of work and I admire you for it! Also, you inspired me to clean three VERY dirty windows. Now, I’m looking out at my backyard and am able to fully appreciate the beauty of the birds and flowers. Thank you for the inspiration!

Also, I really like your artwork (banner)!

The room looks incredible.
I didn’t finish and I forgot to take pics. I stink because I could have beat you! Seriously this bedroom was bad.

Thank you for being willing to suffer humiliation.
I shudder to think how mine would compare with this.

These pics are hilarious!!! I’m not mean…promise. I’m just domestically handicapped so I can relate to your mess. I can cook my tail off, but the cleaning - ugh! My old cluttering habits were getting so bad that I felt the need to stoopp & ask my mom-in-law (housekeeper by trade) to help me out once a week. Talk about a punch to the ego. Anyway, I’m determined to be a neat freak. I am totally fascinated by those who are organized by nature - I only wish. I’m very proud of you, Lara. This challenge definitely inspires me to get crackin’ on mi casa! Great job!!!

You did a totally amazing job! I can relate to the before pics. Thanks for the encouragement. Your room looks really nice.
