Okay so I love the idea of helping people and I love even more the idea of helping people who can’t de-clutter themselves and I REALLY love that Oprah is working with Peter Walsh again (he is my favorite to watch) however I kind of despise the fact that I am not one of these people that need this ‘help’. I feel left out that since my bedroom isn’t cluttered I don’t get the opportunity to have a ‘professional’ come spend time, money and effort on me. Okay so maybe I should stop complaining but whatever…

I am envisioning a breakdown of someone with childhood trauma (not diminishing anyones trauma), but seriously…clutter caused by a bad childhood or an event???
I want to put things away…but I am emotionally unstable??
I love Peter Walsh and his outlook on clutter taking control of your best life…
but alas…no tv here so no orpha clutter either…

My bedroom is the least scary of the rooms in my apartment. One reason is that I simply don’t do much in there, so not much dirt or stuff gets tracked in. Another reason is that I really need a safe haven to sleep and recharge.

My bedroom has a few issues, but I’m pretty sure there’s worse out there. What I could really use help with is my office! I have “before” pictures, but I can’t bring myself to post them to the Unclutterer group until I have some “after” pictures (or at least “progress” pictures) to balance them out. I think I’d want to skip the national TV spot, however.

How about Oprah focus on helping us live in a 907 square foot, 2 bedroom apartment with a teen and a toddler where the toddler shares our room? Our issue isn’t mess or clutter — but creating a space that works for everyone.

I used to think our bedroom was the messiest in the world until I watched a couple of episodes of How Clean is Your House. That show turns my stomach.

I also realized that we do pretty well with unnecessary junk, considering we don’t have a garage, an attic, a basement; we have few cupboards and no extra closets.

Despite my struggle with clutter and messiness, I don’t think our bedroom is the messiest in America by far. I do wish it were more attractive, but it’s also home to my office and that is a real challenge.

I would love to have Peter Walsh come to my home and declutter my master bedroom. Would I want this to be broadcast on national TV? Never.

Hrm, do we really think that readers of this site are going to have a shot?

Seriously though, the bedroom is the worst room of my house. I tend to keep the areas clean that I know others are going to see, and the bedroom just isn’t one of them. So it tends to be where stuff goes to die.

Shoot, now that I have thought about it, I have to go clean it.

My bedroom used to be the worst room in the house. Then I read Home Comforts and got inspired by the author’s description of the bedroom as “The Cave of Nakedness” and her focus on keeping the bedroom clean because you spend more time there than anywhere else.

Now my bedroom is the cleanest room in the house..even under the bed, thanks to the Roomba

After what Peter and his crew did to the shopaholic mum’s house, I believe in miracles now. I think a master bedroom will pale in comparison. Thanks for sharing the information.

@Kristin,

I was going to write virtually the same thing about the home office v bedroom mess! It probably stems from spending MUCH more time in the home office than in the bedroom, although I work outside the home. I get 5 hours of sleep a night if I am lucky.

Deb, you’re right, I guess I don’t always trust the people who appear on TV shows – like the couple that appeared on “The Moment of Truth”, and they made it out like the husband wasn’t aware of his wife’s infidelity, but of course he was, and 10,000 other examples…
