Week 16: The Hall Closet

What a cluster of crap!  This is the tiniest closet every and we have it packed full of stuff.  Most of the stuff we didn't even use or know was in there.  Plus I had three big blankets/quilts/comforters that needed added!  Basically I pulled out a about a dozen bath towels (really?  who needs that many??) that don't match our current bathroom anymore and we weren't using, a few sheet sets that don't match anything anymore, and some other items that actually should live in other places in the house.  The closet organization is still tight, and you probably can't tell much of a difference, but I know exactly what is in there and where it is... and it is all stuff we use!  Woohoo!  Mission accomplished!

Week 15: The Nursery, Part 2 (the final part!)

Our project this week was to finish up the nursery, get all the furniture in, artwork hung, etc.  Mission accomplished!  Here are the final pics.  Black boxes are covering where baby's name is on the wall until we announce her name.

Week 14: The Guest Room/Treadmill

Late in posting these next few projects!  This one was all about making room in our guest room for our treadmill.  The treadmill formerly lived in what is now the nursery.  Then when we moved it out to start working on the nursery it lived in the doorway to our living room.  Not good!  The treadmill is huge and we have no place to put it in this house other than the basement, where we won't use it.  So I decided to reorganize our guest room and see if we could fit it here.  It worked!  It's not a layout I love, but it works for now.  I turned the bed so that it runs against the wall, more like a sofa, and moved the desk down.  That left a good amount of floor space for the treadmill to live.  Also part of the project this week was putting away all of the crap that had accumulated on the desk from cleaning other rooms and moving baby stuff out of this room.  I have no before picture so you'll have to take my word for it!  :)

Week 13: Bedside tables

Everyone has that one drawer that accumulates random junk, right?  (just one, if you're lucky :)  )  Well ours are our bedside table drawers.  Don't know where to put it?  Shove it in that drawer!  So this week's project was to clean out those drawers, put things where they actually went, throw out trash, and organize only what needs to be kept in those drawers.  It was a fairly quick project, which we needed for this week because we had a lot of other baby projects going on.  It's nice to be able to open and shut our drawers easily without things sticking out or getting stuck.  :)
