I started this project probably 3 weeks ago. My daughters room was horrible!! I have learned that it is very hard for a 12 year old and 4 year old to share a bedroom. You can tell by the pictures below just how bad it can get. I had finally had enough (usually go through this 3-4 times a year) and said it was time to do the overhaul. So I figured I would post before and after pictures. What better incentive to keep the room cleaned, than being threatened to post pictures of it on here!
I must say though, that it is hard to keep this room cleaned. Not only does she share it with a 4 year old, all the kids toys are in here as well. You see, this is the bigger of the 2 kids’ bedrooms. So, not only does she have toys from herself and the 4 year old, she also has toys that belong to her 5 year old brother.
I can finally say we are now finished cleaning the room. Below are pictures of what we started with. Yes, I am embarrassed and ashamed that I allowed it to get this bad. My children are definitely old enough to clean up and out their belongings in their proper places.
Below are before pictures.
Pretty bad, isn’t it! Yes, it is very bad. I will definitely be more diligent in keeping on the kids to keep it clean like we have it now. If they pick up after themselves every time they take something out and right before they go to bed, it should stay clean.
Below are pictures of the finished room.
Great job, Joy! You should work for "Clean Sweep"!!!! 🙂
Good Job JOY!!!!!! And Sarah and Claire for keeping it so clean in the future 🙂 What gift to have a neat room and space 🙂
I would have never guessed that was the same room! Great job getting it straightened up! No doubt that was a TON of work!
Tell me it took you more than one day, so I don't feel like a pansy! Very impressive!
Thank you for putting those pictures up. Its nice to know that I am not the only one that has opened a bedroom door to find a giant mess. I have had to help my girls a few times to get their room back in shape.
