For this week's tackle, once again I started early. (Hey! I work during the week!) Once again I was in the kids' (5 and 3 years old) room. It was in big trouble! This time I cleaned, sorted and threw away 3 1/2 bags of trash! (Which I quickly took out to the alley dumpster before they got home with Grandma and Grandpa!) I also found a box of baby toys (remember my "baby" is 3!) to take to the church nursery. I started at 11:30 am and finished at 3 pm.
After I took the "after" pictures, I made labels with words and simple (very simple!) drawings and put them on the baskets: "Cars", "Trains", "Doll clothes", etc. The amazing thing....3 days later, the room still looks good! I've made them clean up several times a day, but they are enjoying having room to play.
Before I started
During (about 2 hours in! YIKES!)

Great tackle! I tackled my girl's room a month ago. It looked similar to your before pictures. I'm proud to say that they've kept it cleaned.
It looks so much better!!!
I am afraid, terrified, to start tackling my son's room. Mostly because I use his extra attic room space for storage and I have a LOT of stuff to clean out!!
How nice! Looks completely different and VERY organized:)
Very nice! I love the baskets/boxes on the bottom selves!
What a great tackle!! I just did this to my daughter's room before school started. Now, she can find stuff and get herself ready in the morning. She is getting soooooo big.
Wow! It looks great! The organization is wonderful.
What a huge change! Good job.
Now if only they would keep it that clean!!!!
You did a great job!
