Just a quick update.  I QUIT!  Well, not totally.  I made it as far as 23 days.  The 24th day put me right over the edge.  But, in those 23 days I did dig myself out of a massively cluttered bedroom creating a clean canvas for a complete bedroom redo.  After cleaning, decluttering and painting the walls, ceiling and trim (my boyfriend did 99% of the painting, I'm not gonna lie) I can now get started on a new look.  I'm so excited!

I have been perusing Pinterest for ideas and I'm also getting some great inspiration from Houzz.com.  Check out some of the sweet bedrooms I've pinned on our Action Carpet & Floor Covering Pinterest Page, Bedrooms.  There are so many styles that I love, and settling on just one is going to be a real challenge.  Maybe I'll combine several.

Here are a couple photos of my bedroom before:

Here are a couple pictures of how it looks today in transition.  UGLY, I know.  But, I'm hoping to get it back to looking like a comfy, welcoming bedroom again only this time minus the dark, heavy colors.  I'm thinkin' light and airy.  Stay tuned...

It's Day #21 in my 30-Day Declutter Challenge!  I can't believe I've made it this far, I'm kind of a quitter.  (*hanging my head in shame*)  I've heard it said that it takes 21 days to form a new habit.  Well, I don't know whether that's true or not but, I've got 21 THINGS TO GET RID OF TODAY!  OMG!  It's getting really hard, I'm not going to lie.  I've actually included dead ballpoint pens in my daily purge numbers and one day I counted a bowl and serving tray that my boyfriend accidentally broke in the day's count.  I'm getting desperate!

I am finding encouragement and inspiration in the daily Facebook postings of Becoming Minimalist.  I've also found some motivating quotes on Pinterest.  In case you've embarked on the declutter challenge along with me, I hope these words of encouragement will help inspire you like they've helped to inspire and motivate me.  Onward and upward declutterers!
