Purge-A-Palooza: Bedroom

I had purging the bedroom on my to-do list all month, but it wasn’t until February 26^th that I actually did something about it! 

I only got the closet purged in February, which was a daunting task for me.  In the next picture, you will see why it was such a discouraging task for me.

I am embarrassed to admit that this was my side of the closet.  In comparison, this is Todd’s side of the closet:

Luckily, it only took about 15 minutes to get everything out of the closet to start my piles of save, purge, and garbage.  The pile of “purge” items grew quickly.  I have noticed that most of my clothes have stains on them.  I am so terribly hard on my clothing, which is why I don’t buy anything that is white or expensive!  I hated to do it, but I got rid of a pair of boots that I absolutely love...not to mention they cost me a pretty penny.  I wore them to a club once and suffered the whole entire time.  So, after 10+ years, I finally let them go after wearing them twice.  It’s so silly, if you think about it.  All they were doing in my closet was collecting dust.  I also got rid of another pair of shoes that I really liked, but they hurt my feet as well.

Within 30 minutes, I was starting to put everything back into my closet.

This is what my closet looks like today.

Where Are All My Clothes?!?

I donated a very large trash bag full of shirts, shoes and slippers from the items purged in the closet alone!  I still have to go through an armoire and my night stand.   With all of this extra space in the closet, I may start transferring some of my clothing from the armoire to the closet so I can see what I have.  I found 4 shirts I forgot I owned while cleaning the closet!  I will try to work on my armoire and night stand within the upcoming week and post the results mid-month.

For March, I am going to purge items from the Family Room.  Ugh.  I'm NOT looking forward to this room!

I would not be telling the truth if I said I enjoy doing this; however, I do enjoy the results after the job is complete!
