I did a really great job decluttering, purging, selling, donating just over a year ago:
http://www.hellobee.com/2014/01/21/decluttering-our-lives-what-we-got-rid-of/
But somehow stuff has accumulated over the past year and it's time to do a new purge with the new year. Right now our bedroom is the catch all room with stuff that needs to be sold, donated, returned, etc.
What area of your home needs the most decluttering?

Kitchen and office.
I also need to rotate books and toys out of the living room.

The basement. Always the basement! It's an office/craft room/den that we barely use, so a lot of stuff gets thrown there when we need to clean up super fast.
I purged a lot when DH moved in. But I need to pack up/organize stuff a lot better if we really hope to sell this year.

Master bedroom! We kind of 'put' stuff in there and it needs to be addressed.

The playroom and the storage room in the basement - what a nightmare down there!!

Good timing. This is what I'm doing right now. My office before I start taxes. The perils of self employment.

Our living room - which also houses DH's office space. It's filled with toys because DH WAH and watches J in the mornings, so it has things to occupy both of them. It's a mess after J's birthday and Christmas. I need a new storage unit!

I just de-cluttered over the break...something like 11 bags of trash went out.
One of the guest rooms needs it, but it'll get done eventually. Also I want to go through my clothes when I'm ready to be back in real clothes again....and then space vac down my maternity stuff and be picky about what I allow back in my closet

I keep the main living areas and bedrooms clutter free. DH just decluttered the unfinished side of the basement this weekend. I keep my side of our home office clutter free because I can't stand clutter. But now DH needs to work on his side. There's a stark contrast between our respective sides of the office right now.

Our "office" / second guest room. It is a disaster zone, with all sorts of crap that I don't know what to do with.

Our garage needs help. We did major de-cluttering over Christmas break and donated / trashed a bunch of stuff.

This is what I've been doing, a little every day, over break! We've really changed our room - it was more like a storage warehouse in there. It's getting a lot better, I've thrown out a lot of junk, created space, and currently have four boxes for goodwill waiting to be dropped off. Next up will be the desk in our dining room - it's where we file all mail, bills, insurance stuff, etc. So it gets messy quickly.

Our family room/DHs office/photo studio ... We just re-did the flooring and are changing up the layout and purging stuff right now. Also re-finishing a large desk that is in there. It has turned into quite a project.

The entire time we lived in our house, the guest room was the catch-all. When guests stayed, everything got shuffled to the office. Finally, I moved all our crap to the basement at the end of last year.
I've really tackled a lot of the clutter in our basement in just the past few weeks. I'm kind of amazed at how fast it is going. I'm being ruthless.

Our office! It's a disaster. It's just so easy to put something on a pile, walk out, and close the door!

the basement and the garage. The basement is actually being tackled tonight (hopefully.) I have been purging our house of clutter for the last month or so and it feels SO GOOD. I can open a closet and everything is lined up and pretty and easy to see. The basement on the other hand has several closets that need to be cleaned out, it's the "we don't' use so throw it down here" area. The garage is similar but since it feels like -29 outside, that will have to be a spring project. DH need to tackle it and organize it.

My craft room and my closet. I am the common denominator for collecting clutter around our house!

My office, his office. They're both disaster zones. Mine will be tidied up after our consignment sale. Then I move to ebay to get rid of some of my scrapbooking stamps!

Every room except the living room. I am so glad Christmas is over because it derailed my project declutter even further. I had presents piling up in the guest room waiting to be wrapped and gifted. I have 3 bags waiting to be taken to goodwill and 1 of baby clothes to a friend who just had a baby.

My closet 
I use the one in our bedroom and DH uses the one in the spare room. He is so tidy and organized and nothing is ever out of place. Mine, on the other hand--you can hardly see the floor. This is my project for tonight. He just looks at me like I'm some sort of crazy hoarder (which I probably am).

I feel like we don't have much clutter compared to most, but at the moment the catch all table in the kitchen needs to be organized to hold our finance stuff that's still in drawers in the playroom. I have to declutter it and move that stuff out so the playroom can actually be a playroom and not a half and half hybrid office space.

I guess our pantry? It's become a catch all for tools and things in addition to being super disorganized. I can't really tell what food is in there so things aren't getting eaten. The nursery/guest room is a disaster too, but it only needs straightening, not decluttering. We wrapped gifts in there at Christmas, and the wrapping stuff is still scattered. Add to that the fact that we're working on getting it painted so there are drop cloths everywhere and the furniture is all in the middle of the room, and it's just a disaster area.

Our dining room table. It's in the middle of our house, and I don't think it's been clear of clutter for more than a few hours.

The garage! Oh it's bad, and I need to start on it now since I'm it working 3 days a week but it's not easy with toddlers. The house is pretty clear, unless you count my junk drawers!

@Mrs. Bee: same as you. We've been in complete rearrangement mode.

Our 4th bedroom. We do a pretty good job of keeping the rest of the house tidy and we decluttered our closets during break which was great. But we have this extra bedroom we don't do anything with and it is the catch-all for all random shit. I can barely get the door open....

I am always decluttering so there are no outright disaster zones, but I really want to get rid of our remaining baby gear soon.
