Day Seven - March 15, 2013





I can see it!!!!  I can see it!!!!  I can see the light at the end of that tunnel.  I can also see why Laura put on her downloadable calendar for March 17th "Don't Stop Now!"  I was so ready to quit yesterday, but I picked a spot and worked on it.  It looked a little better.  Then today I decided it was time to start moving furniture around.  I moved most of the bins in the hallway, where they will later be moved to the garage for the time being.  Then I was able to move the bed, desk & bookshelf to where I thought she would want it.  (She'd gone shopping with dad to buy some stuff for homework projects).  She loves the outcome, although there is still much to do.  But at least we can begin to see more clearly the fruits of our labor.  Still left to do is clear the clutter from her desk, bookshelf, one closet shelf and the shelves next to her bed (only half of those - you'll see what I did with the other half in just a moment).  She also needs to go through the bins as well and re-determine what she wants to keep or get rid of.  After that, we'll bring dad in and see how we can accommodate the things she wants to keep but has no space for yet.  In her middle closet there is a lot of empty space just waiting to be built upon and filled.  So, here we gooooo . . .  (I apologize in advance.  My pictures are out of order and for some reason I'm having a difficult time moving them around and getting them to look nice and symmetrical, so a straight vertical look at her room, and somewhat out of order, is what you are getting today.  :o) )






BINS MOVED TO THE HALLWAY.

TIME TO MOVE THE TRUNDLE BED

UH OH!  SHOULD'VE MOVED THE STUFF OUT OF THE CORNER FIRST, HUH?


SUCCESS!  LOOKS GREAT THERE.
NOW IT'S TIME TO MOVE THE DESK.  THIS IS FACING THE DOORWAY

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE DESK FROM THE NEW LOCATION OF THE BED.

OH YEAH, THIS THING SHE WANTS DAD TO HOOK UP FROM THE CEILING.
 IT HOLDS HER STUFFED ANIMALS.

A VIEW FROM THE DOORWAY. 

HER BUILT IN SHELVES.  CLUTTER, CLUTER, EVERYWHERE.

I'VE MOVED THE BOOKSHELF FROM IT'S ORIGINAL SPOT BUT NOT TO IT'S FINAL SPOT YET.

OK, THE DESK HAS BEEN MOVED.  THAT'S HER DOORWAY TO THE HALL TO THE LEFT.

A VIEW OF THE FINAL SPOTS FOR THE BED AND DESK.

CLUTTERED BUILT IN SHELVES.  WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO?

AH, WELL, HERE'S AN IDEA.  I FORGOT SHE WAS WEARING A PAIR OF SHOES WHEN I DID THIS, SO I'LL PROBABLY CLEAR OFF ANOTHER SHELVE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SQUASH.

A VIEW OF HER NEW SHOE SHELVES FROM A DISTANCE.

AND A VIEW WITH THE DESK IN THE PICTURE.

A VIEW OF HER DESK FROM HER BED.

A VIEW FROM THE BACK CORNER OF HER ROOM.  STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THOSE BINS AND BOOKSHELVES.  SEE THE CLOSET?  THAT TOP SHELF NEEDS TO BE GONE THROUGH AND PROBABLY MOST THINGS THROWN OUT.  WHO KNOWS WHAT'S UP THERE.

FROM ONE WALL TO ANOTHER.

FOR NOW, THE FINISHED CLOSET.  SO MUCH SPACE UP TOP, BUT THERE ARE NO SHELVES OR ANYTHING. I SURE WOULDN'T MIND WINNING THAT CLOSET SET UP.  :o)

  5. Wow and where is she may I ask???? Lol although I understand. My kids are 10 & 12 and suddenly they see things they have been "looking for" months. Yea right! U have done a great job. I say make her finish it. And if it stays picked up for 30 days she can paint it or pick out with your approval a new bed comforter. Now where did you get your energy!!!!!
