This bedroom has been taken over by clothes and clutter. Pro organizer Monica Ricci intends to clear it out and get it functioning again.
Angela Jones has been spending a lot of time in her bedroom since her parents moved into her Atlanta condo with her. At 13 x 13 feet, the room has potential, but mounds of clothes and clutter have become its worst enemy.

Organizer extraordinaire Monica Ricci sets out to reclaim the space once and for all. The first step to making that happen is to sort through everything and categorize what stays and what goes--including the furniture.

Once that's done, she lays out her plan to brighten the room with fresh wall paint and bring in a new bed that converts into a workspace by day, a small futon and an entertainment center. There will be two zones: a mini living area and a bedroom/office area. Find out how she did it below.

Before: The cumbersome desk had become a catchall, leaving no room for actually getting work done.

After: An office area has been installed next to the bed to provide an additional workspace.
