Ladies, I am so excited I can hardly stand it! There are over 80 of you signed up to participate in The Challenge. Oh my goodness, our hubbies are going to start taking over the world!! And as you can see, I have a code for the button over in my sidebar so I would love it you continue spreading the word. Let’s top 100. Are ya ready? Let’s kick off week 1 shall we?
Our bedrooms should be a haven. I find, it’s pretty hard to get in the mood with piles of dirty laundry waiting to be folded staring you down. So, your first assignment is to turn your bedroom into a romantic retreat.
- Lose the TV: I once watched an Oprah (though not in my bedroom) where a woman proudly admitted that she watched Oprah while having sex with her husband. That’s about the worst thing you can do with a TV in the bedroom, but frankly I can’t think of many better reasons for it. I love TV as much as the next gal, probably more than the next girl, but it is a passion killer in the bedroom. One study showed that couples who have TVs in the bedroom have sex half as often as those who don’t. So lose the TV and focus on each other while in bed. No excuses on this one ladies, I have heard them all and I ain’t buyin’ it.
- Tone down pictures of the kids: I can’t think of anything that kills the mood faster than glancing over at pictures of my kids. Don’t get me wrong, I think my kids are the cutest things since sliced bread, but I keep their pictures up in other parts of the house. If you really want pics of the kids in your room, just avoid putting them right next to the bed.
- Get rid of the clutter: Try and keep your room picked up. If I see messes waiting to be cleaned up, I have a hard time focusing on the task at hand. If you really want to be creative, tell the hubby you can’t focus on the task at hand with the room so messy. You will be amazed at how quickly the room stays clean. Of course, I would NEVER encourage manipulation…
- Get romantic lighting: No one wants to see themselves naked under harsh fluorescent lighting (let’s face it most of us don’t want to see ourselves naked at all). Install dimmer switches or light bulbs that can be set on different light settings. Better yet, get some yummy smelling candles and create an even more romantic mood.
- Try some mood music: Get a CD player and put on some music that puts you in the mood. I won’t even give suggestions cause one persons Enya is another persons Van Morrison. Use whatever works for you.
There you go. I’m going easy on you the first week. You’re not even required to have sex. Although you will get extra credit if you do 
So what do you think? Are you in?
Esther
says:
Great points. I’d add having the baby monitor on. You can’t get it on with one ear trying to hear if the baby is squawking in her crib!
And Van Morrison? Yes, please.

Also, I agree about the baby monitor. Ohhh that is a killer and I have one in my room, even though the baby is two steps across the hall. If she really needs me, she’ll let me know!
Great challenge! I look forward to sprucing it up this week!

Wow, what a coincidence (or not, depending on how you view such things). My January project is to restore our bedroom to it’s previous boudoir state. A couple years ago, we painted the bedroom, got new furniture and made a room for us, a haven that was uncluttered and nice to be in. Well…over the past several months the state of affairs in the boudoir have significantly declined, so I decided to start the year off right and get it back in shape!
I know I’m able to um, concentrate better, when I’m not distracted by clutter on the bedside table and clothes on the floor!

If you can’t get the TV out of the room, how about establishing a no TV time? Agree that after a certain time the TV will be turned off and not come back on until the sun comes up. Our problem right now is the baby, who still refuses to spend the entire night in her own bed, although we are working on it and most nights she starts in her own bed giving us a few hours of alone time. Gotta start somewhere!

K – so my challenge is to de-clutter my bedroom by transferring the babe to her own room. Luckily, I have a week to work up to it…

this might be TMI… but what’s a post on sex without TMI? I went to world market and got some incense. it smells nice and gives a sense of the faraway (we have really good vacation sex, trying to play that up at home you know)… unlike candles which we burn in our kitchen to get rid of the grease smell (not so much sexy). I plan to light out nice-smelling incense this week.
ugh, I guess that means I need to clean our room first, and put away the laundry.

Okay, I don’t have any pics of the kids in our bedroom or any toys. However, I do have to get our seventeen month old daughter out of the room…sigh…easier said than done.
**For those of you ladies who deal with the-baby-in-the-room dilemma, try the living room
or a spare bedroom, or the minivan–if you have a garage of course, privacy is paramount– (haven’t done that one YET…hmmm…might be a fun way to spice it up though!) The point is to work with what you have and WORK IT! 
**
Clutter is minimal and usually consists of laundry…which drives my husband insane…so I try to keep it picked up.
For mood lighting, there is no cheaper way to go than Dollar Store tea lights!
There is no CD player in our bedroom, so we are at the mercy of what is on the radio….need to put “stereo for bedroom” at the top of our “to-be-bought” list!
However, I am working on creating a more romantic decorating atmosphere conducive to lovemaking in our bedroom. It is so hard when you have such a limited budget and extravagant dreams! Guess I am going to have to get creative
The TV got kicked out of our home almost a year ago. We decided that it was taking over our family time and our couple time. Out it went and we don’t miss it a bit!
I got my extra credit done last night *grin*
Thanks for such a great challenge!

BUT my room is a mess! I need some organizational tips/help for this! I simply am not good at always putting away clean clothes, keeping things picked up, etc….HELP!

5. No cd player but the laptop is a good way to get the music going.

There are a few pics on the wall b/c the boys were in there but I plan on taking them down today. I have a big problem with the ceiling light-aka spotlight-turned on….I have tons of candles so why don’t I use them I ask myself? I need to find them….

DH says “we don’t watch it that much” but he does.. and doesn’t want it out of the bedroom.. as far as a mess goes.. well my cloth diaper changing station is in my room… and there is no where else in the house for it… lol. Doesn’t a diaper put you in the mood? No pics up anywhere in our house…..

Clutter is my big falling. Our bedroom is the junk drawer of my life. But the Song of Solomon does refer to the setting so significantly. sigh. off to work on it.

I am totally in for this. We need a little romance back in our life.
I have no pics or clutter, but i do have a tv. We don’t watch it at night, but it has to stay (it’s there for an extra so the 3 yo can watch inthere while we are in the living room).
I would really love to redo the room though, change it up a little. So maybe this will get me going on it.

Ok I just posted about cleaning up the bedroom on my blog. Keeping our room clean is something we struggle with because its not a room people have to see when they come over. We dump clutter in there to get back to later but never get back to it. Now our room has become one of two places in the house clutter goes to die. Husband has been suggesting a dimmer for a while perhaps now is the time

I had already done most of this. No TV, we’re buying a new chest of drawers soon b/c we’re overflowing clothes and that causes clutter. Will work on the other things too.

just finished this part of the challenge on saturday minus the cd player. still need to add that. i am a firm believer of no pictures of the kids in the bedroom, and no tv either. we haven’t had a tv in our bedroom since we moved into our first home. i love how my bedroom feel now!!!

Just joining this great idea. Will definately be decluttering the room this week. It has been on my to do list for weeks, just can’t seem to get caught up with the laundry. The laundry will wait until the bedroom is done. Here’s a compromise for the pics. Our room is decorated with beach things. We have pics of the kids but they are siloettes of their backs at the beach, or just of their toes in the water.

1. We don’t have a TV in our bedroom.
2. No pics of the kids in our bedroom.
3. I am a neat freak! No clutter anywhere in my house!
4. Got the candles in there already!
5. This one is hard. My taste in romantic mood music is not my husband’s taste. He isn’t even into music!
Only one problem… our 9 week old son is in our room! So my “fixing the boudoir” is going to have to be “fixing the living room”! lol
