Better Home Challenge: January Project

Happy New Year! Ready to start the Better Home Challenge?

The first number has been drawn, and it's number 11! For me, that's the spare bedroom in the basement... yuck. At first glance, it doesn't look so bad...

Until you actually walk into the room...

And around the corner...

It actually started out empty, but has become something of a dumping ground...

Definitely need some sorting/organizing/stashing in here, plus this room is just so... blah. I'd like it to be a room in which a guest could actually sleep. A little decorating is in order, too. Time to make a list and dig in!

If you'd like to join in, show us your January project (on your blog, Flickr, etc.) and link up here. Just be sure to link directly to your project, not to your homepage:

Let's see what we can accomplish by the end of January!
