my kitchen....when it's cluttered & messy the whole house seems to look worse

__________________

Mine is every room! LOL Seriously, though, I think it is the bedroom.. I think it is so cluttered with clothes and crap that I just don't want to sleep in there much!

One side of the garage is full of stuff that needs to go to the attic. My dh has to help me and since he's the one parking outside right now and still hasn't helped, then I'm not too worried about it.

Kitchen is pretty small with very little counter-top and probably atleast 1/3 of it is covered up with my the stuff we take in and out of the house every day - i.e. my dh's work laptop, my purse, etc. It can look pretty cluttered in there.

The big one though is my bedroom! With an almost 4-year-old, an almost 2-year-old and 1 more due in a month or so my bedroom is the one place I can leave things out that aren't childproofed. Projects that need finishing, tubs to go thru, paper-work to purge, etc. I used to think it wasn't that big of a deal until I actually went thru and cleaned out the room. We were shocked at how we felt much more calm when we were in there! Of course since then it's fallen back into the catch-all room! ... maybe I'll clean it this weekend!

Amazingly enough, the cleanest/neatest room in our entire house is our master closet! My dh FINALLY went thru his gagillion polos last weekend and got rid of 2 large, overflowing tubs of barely used shirts! Once that was finally out of there it took me all of about 20 mintues to rearrange all his clothes (by color even) and it's GREAT!

Of course he's been out of town for the week and just got in today so now he's here to mess it up again!

when you enter my house you(mainly)come in through the little utility room area...so it's like a combo entryway/utility/laundry.

It's small so it doesn't take much to look cluttered..but it's the one place that I seem to CONSTANTLY have to be neatening up...drives me nuts!!!

I have 2 problem rooms. The first one is our bedroom which is upstairs and away from most people's eyes. I have the kids' outgrown clothes piled on our table and chairs and on the coffee table in front of the couch in there. I really need to get those vacuum sealed.

The other room is my sunroom off of our bedroom. That is the room where I have all my crafts stashed, boxes of clothes that my friend gave us for Wyndser that their daughter outgrew. I also have boxes of other stuff that I haven't "put" anywhere yet....my yearbooks, sorority and pageant stuff, and a host of other things.

I have these two rooms on my summer projects list.

Problem room? Our family room--heaven help me I really do call it the pit! We have a "formal" living room upstairs which is what you see when you come into the house, but the family room is where the computer desk is tv, comfy couches, and it almost always looks like a bomb hit it--and my kids are not little!

My problem room is the office area in the basement. My kids color and do things down there it is always cluttered. Drives me bonkers. And We have too much furniture, etc for this small space so that bothers me also. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Our worst room is, hands down, the garage. It is a DISASTER. We still have Christmas decorations that haven't been put in the attic. There are old baby items, toys, boxes, and nothing is organized. Unfortunately, our house is so short on storage areas, that it is the only place we've got to put all our junk like that. There's no way we could put a car in there - a motorcycle wouldn't even fit!! LOL

The 2nd worst room is our bedroom. We've painted and decorated every room in the house but ours. It needs a makeover in a MAJOR way. It becomes the room where we throw everything to get it out of sight. It's a little better these days, however, DH just went out and bought a treadmill, so that hasn't helped much.

Mine is also our master bedroom! We (I) have the HARDEST time keeping it clean. My closets are all very organized- very, very organized, but I just can't seem to get certain things put away...I'll put cloths on the chaise lounger that we have in the room before I'll put them in our hamper or in the closet! It's the worst habit ever!

Heck, my whole house is a problem area!!! You cannot walk in my garage and have yet to actually put a car in there (though we just moved in last year!) Our basement is still piled with boxes and tools on top of the pool table! The laundry room is terrible. For some reason, everyone thinks the kitchen is a dumping ground!!! I had the main floor of the house looking half decent and then we re did our dinning room floor and now I have to find new homes for all the little crap we moved out of there! It is a never ending battle!
