Week Four Master Bedroom Cleaning Check In

Okay, friends, we're half-way through the Master Bedroom week on the Holiday Grand Plan.  How is everyone doing with their cleaning?

I've still got a long way to go in here, but I have made some progress over how the room looked at the start of the week.    

I know that I said I wasn't going to deep clean in here, just focus on reclaiming the room from the mess, but as I got started I quickly realized that I needed to follow my friend Tsh's advice (from her Spring Cleaning guide) and just clear everything out of this room - bringing back ONLY what we use and truly love.

 Yes, my husband needs to have a fan running to sleep. We'll call that a "design element" :-)

Hello there, Nickey Disco doggie!

Is this a romantic nest, a retreat from the rest of the world?  Well, right now, no.  It isn't.  But, at least it is clean.  That is a start.

So, where is all the stuff?  The mending is in the laundry room, the out grown clothes are either a) in totes in the closet of the next kid in line b)in a bag waiting to go to my sister c)in a box for Goodwill.

The rest of the totes I actually put in the garage figuring that as I sort them I can put the things headed to Goodwill right into the back of the van and not even bring them back inside the house.

The other odds'n'ends are in the loft, where I put them just to get them out of the bedroom.  This isn't ideal but at least it means the bedroom is clear and motivates me to return items to their proper homes quicker if they are in a more public place that I can't just shut the door to and forget about. 

Now, to get to scrubbing those filthy bedroom walls ...


How about the rest of you following the Holiday Grand Plan?  How are things going so far this week?  If you're blogging about it, I'd love it if you left a link in the comments so that I can come check it out and we can cheer each other on.
