make room for baby
On a lighter note, I've started going through the crap in the soon-to-be-nursery room. I took some pictures of the before. Yipes... We have a lot of stuff to go through/get rid of/re-organize. This was formerly the junk room and where all my 'puter stuff was. The computer is staying, but we need to go to IKEA and get a desk that will allow me to go vertical with stuff so there is more floor space.
This room also has 3 completely full bookcases (some two books deep), a filing cabinet, a cat tree, some cacti that were brought in for the winter, etc. etc. etc. The thing with this stuff is that it is in the room because there is no other place for it to go. This was the room that this kind of stuff went to. This means stuff needs to be condensed and/or boxed and/or found new homes for. Our only options are the basement (damp and gross) or the crawl space upstairs (dark and scary). Oh well, at least I'm started.
Two bookshelves, guitar case, top of cacti and of course - eggplant apron
Accumulated baby stuff and the terrible wood paneling that we are going to paint over
Bookshelf #3 and my computer (with some sort of error message, hmmm..)
The view back out, with the closet door. I didn't take pics inside, but trust -- it's full.
Wish us luck!!
