Bedroom Blitz

Mission: Organization : Episode MSO-206 -- More Projects »
Mary and Bill Thomas have allowed their bedroom to become the No. 1 gathering spot for the family, and they want to put a stop to it and get back some of their privacy. They moved into this house two years ago and since then have been busy raising a teenager and two young kids, working full-time jobs and working on the rest of the house and landscaping, while sacrificing this room's needs.

The Thomases need help getting things in order and redecorating, so they enlist professional organizer Susan Sabo. The plan is to create a calm and quiet getaway just for Mary and Bill, setting aside other spaces in the house for gathering.

A look around the rest of the room proves similar problems abound.

Various papers and receipts are crammed together in a corner bin waiting to be tossed or filed.

Not exactly a natural storage place for an iron, this chest of drawers is at least paper-free, unlike the other one in the room.
