From The Heart - Getting Your Home Ready for 2015 (The Bedroom )

De-Cluttering In December

If you dislike your room, this might be the most difficult room in your home to clean. Do you hate washing your own dishes but love to wash everybody else’s. Or, you dislike cleaning your room but wouldn't mind helping someone else with their own mess. Well this is why I say this might be a bit difficult for you. Many of us have a love/dislike relationship with our bedrooms. But no lie; it is the easiest to organize. Let’s get started!
Play a few of your favorite songs. Songs that will help you forget you’re cleaning your least favorite room in your home.

1.           My mom always told me to start by making the bed. But don’t just make the bed. Go ahead and change or wash the sheets. It’ll seem like you’re automatically half way done when the bed is nicely made and smelling fresh.
2.           Next, hang up those clothes that have been lying around for days and that you ‘’just haven’t gotten to yet’’.
3.           Toss out anything that has no use. We tend to keep things for sentimental value but once you get rid of it there’s a 90% chance you won’t miss it. During this time I look to go through any old books and files that I've stored away. Get rid of old bills that you don’t need old school work and documents.
4.           Dust those cares away. Be sure to get the ceiling fan (if you have one). The television and any decor you may have.
5.           Next, organize your accessories and hygiene products. Take this time to throw out any old makeup and empty bottles of perfume you didn't realized were empty.
6.           Organize your clothes by color or however you wish. I prefer by color. Start looking for items you haven’t worn in years or that you just don’t wish to keep. Donate those to the Goodwill or any other thrift stores in your area.
7.           Lastly, Vacuum.
8.           When you’re completely finished light a candle of your choice and relax.

No that wasn't too bad was it?
