Suburban-Home Master Bedroom Makeover

Mission: Organization : Episode MSO-505 -- More Projects »
Heather and Burt Mulford have an organization problem: The bedroom of their suburban home became a chaotic mess when they had two children in two years. It is a dumping ground for outgrown baby clothes and also serves as an office in which Heather grades school papers.

Piles of photos, CDs and magazines are out of control in the main area, while outdated sweaters, shoes and purses stuff the closet.

The Mulfords need help, and professional organizer Liz Witts has it. Her plan is to get rid of the oversize furniture that doesn't function as well as it should.

She also recommends that the Mulfords sort through the clothes and create a large giveaway pile or consign items such as maternity clothes to long-term storage. Her goal is to create a serene adult environment that is also kid-friendly. Let's see if she was successful:

Before: This 15 x 23-foot bedroom is overwhelmed by large, dark furniture, piles of baby clothes, magazines and photographs.

After: Lighter paint and new, warmer bed linens update this now-organized bedroom. A chair and bookcase create a cozy spot along the wall where the dresser used to be.

Before: This dresser, which has become a catchall, takes up too much wall space and provides too little storage.

After: The tall dresser and bookcase have been replaced with this entertainment unit that hides cords and clutter.
