Shuffling Stuff

This whole thing started a couple of weeks ago when I came to the realization that Chris needed a new office and we needed a guestroom more than the boys needed an entire room dedicated to toys. Chris has been relegated to the furnace room in the schoolroom as a home office since we lived here (I think I subconsciously did it to discourage him from working at home… LOL) and the boys have gotten to the age where they have really outgrown 90% of what was in that room.

  Good-bye toy room!!! 

We’ve slowly gone through the toys, giving some to our nieces and nephews and friends. But today was the big push! And a lot of stuff got pushed today!

it’s getting empty

 

Some of the Legos stayed in the new office/guestroom

some went to Zack and Will’s room (which meant Will’s dresser got moved out of the closet and next to Sephira)

the movie prop toys went to Andy’s closet

then we moved in the new desk, my fabric shelf from the schoolroom and the file cabinet from the family room

the fabric from the shelf in the schoolroom went into the craft closet, which is now very full!

 

the school books that had been in the family room got moved into the schoolroom

and the Lego bin got moved into the space where the school book shelf had been

the little kids toys (for when we have company) got moved into the space where the file cabinet was

Chris then moved the stuff from his old “office” into the new one

   that made room for Will to be able to do school in the furnace room

and cleared up my table again 

it also gave me room to store some stuff that had been on the shelves in the laundry room

so now we have more room for our laundry and hot tub supplies

and then cleared up space for all my canning supplies and empty jars from the kitchen

which gave me more space in my kitchen cupboard

and in my pantry for more food after I go grocery shopping

but it also meant the beach towels and swimsuits got relocated to the basement bathroom

I love all the changes and organization! I also love the huge pile of stuff to give away in the garage! But I am kinda sad to see the toy room go… It’s like the end of an era. :o( 

Now I just wait for the, “Where’s my _______???” LOL
