Derrick moved his stuff out here a couple of weeks ago and the first night opted to unpack every single box. Awesome right? No. Not so much. You see, he likes to get everything out of the boxes and look at it. Take it all in. So he unpacked all of the boxes and then went to the work! For 5 days. Then came back and we were pretty busy so it sat again. This past week he finally made major organizational decisions and the room is back to normal... almost.
Here are the before shots. For someone who has been so lucky to take after my highly organized mother I inherited her gene of wanting to put everything away (even if someone is still using it... like a cup full of water that I sat down to go use the rest room and I come back and it has been washed, dryed, and put away. Yea.... ) I didn't touch his things. Really... I didn't even know where to start!
The computer area... he has 4 now... 3 that work
The boy who loves to read and collect books
The view from the hallway... the door stayed shut a lot
More chaos
I did 11 loads of laundry. These were just part of the whites and darks....
And the after:
There is a floor!
Computer area
Small bookshelf. We also have 2 6ft bookshelves in the bedroom but he couldn't fit all of his books. He still can't fit them all even with the little one.
It's nice now that it is pretty much complete. We bought a filing cabinet and each have a drawer for all of our paperwork. My organized personality feels happy with the success of (almost) everything having a place.
