Look at this old chestnut of a thread!
Anyway I've been at my place for 17 months. That entire time the second bedroom has been what I called the "junk room". It got the name because when I moved in I put everything I didn't immediately need in that room. All of that stuff has sat there for 17 months. I just kept the door closed and only went in when I was searching for something specific, further junking the junk room rummaging through bags and putting nothing back.
Today that changed. I finally decided to clean it. It really wasn't that bad. All told it probably took about 2.5 hours to get it looking like a normal room. I hauled off 5 trash bags worth of actual useless junk. It's nice to have the room looking good, although I really don't have much a need for it and doubt I'll use it very often.
I don't have a before pic so this after pic doesn't convey the massive transformation but just imagine a room with more or less the entire floor space covered in random items and bags.

Note how I have Christmas lights up in the window. I of course took all the others down in early January but figured why bother with the junk room? They're not really visible from the outside when turned off. Turned out to be a good call by me cause now I wont have to put them back up when I do the rest of the place back up for Christmas in like a month. Haha.
