For me this is a hard room to get motivated for...last summer I was suppose to paint it and put down new flooring...well LIFE happened and I never did get it accomplished...it is on my list for May or June this year.

This Week's List

[ ] Clean and dust dresser tops.
[ ] Work on shelf in closet
[ ] Clean under bed.....this is a scary one...LOL
[ ] Clean cobwebs
[ ] Clean inside of window
[ ] Declutter at least two dresser drawers
[ ] Vacumn
[ ] Romove all stuff stored that should not be in that room...yikes!!!

This room is going to be a huge challenge. Rather than scare myself away from it, I'm going to list only a few tasks. When they are completed, the next task will be posted. Otherwise I will be overwhelmed.

Today:

[ ] pick up and find homes for things that don't belong in the room
[ ] begin going through clothes left out from closet and donate immediately - there is a reason they aren't in the closet

Yikes!!!! "heartstrings:

This won't be hard. I need to take out the dog bed that Hershey ate and vacuum.
Oh and clean the ceiling fan.

I'm with you, Gingerug! My list never seems to get done - I could spend months on one list before it is finally complete. That's what I love about this program - do what you can and then continue with the next thing.

I did accomplish a little though:
[]clean and rehang curtains
[ ::candyheart: ]organize nightstand drawers
[ ::candyheart: ]purge top of dressers and drawers
[]wipe down walls
[ ::candyheart: ]dust/polish furniture
[]clean windows
[]dust baseboards
[]clean out under bed - it's become a place to hide stuff fast (like Santa's wrapping paper) and needs organizing
[ ::candyheart: ]vacuum
[]shampoo carpet
[]clean out closet - did this not too long ago, so should be easy

Rackandrollgal - WTG! Trying to catch some of your motivation.

The Master Bedroom has become my room for the month. Don't want my lack of progress in there to hinder the rest of the Jumpstart. So I will be plodding along in there as time permits.

Arkansas-Go Razorbacks! Whoo Pig Sooie!
Our master bedroom ebbs and flows...sometimes, I keep it so nice and tidy, dresser top cleared off, no clothes piled on the chair/ottoman, everything in it's place and nicely dusted...then there's the other 50 weeks out of the year. This is one room that needs constant attention, because I tend to pile everything that doesn't have a home but I want/need to keep either in this room or the laundry room. As a result, they are both thorns in my side!

So--I'm making these two rooms my rooms of the month-the rest of February for the bedroom, March for the laundry room. Ugh. I dread it!
