Project Purge... Where have you been?

Where have you been? On the back burner. It's been a while since I posted about Project Purge but it still going on (albeit slowly at the time). We have begun and are already nearly done our Master Bedroom. I did take pictures before we started and here are the before pictures.

Oh the clutter, the disorganization, I truly do not like my bedroom. They always say the bedroom should be a place you can go to escape. Well I want to escape from my bedroom. Where I can't do anything about the size or overall layout of the bedroom I can do a lot about the clutter and organization.

Now we have begun this process and here is what's happened so far.

We have gone through all of our clothing (me for a second time in the last 5 months) and weeded out items we, don't like, don't need, don't wear, and don't fit (and there were lots of the last in a good way).

I've cleaned off my dresser and ridded it of all unnecessary clutter (and the accompanying dust). I cleaned off my night stand both on top and underneath. We purchased new lamps for the night stands (no more college desk lamp!!!), and soon will be installing a new closet system to get rid of the one ridiculously high shelf and single bar and give us much more usability out of our closet space.

I still need to go through the "hope chest" at the foot of the bed and purge items from there. Other than that the purging is done.
I will post final pictures of this room SOON!
