Forward Progress

Just let me show you why it has taken so long to get Little Miss Sunshine's room in order. Here's a before picture.


I know, I know, cringe. I can't believe that we had a room like that either. Our home is generally tidy, but.... I suppose it all just accumulated over time while not using that room. Perhaps part of it had to do with getting our bathroom redone and losing the linen closet. You can see piles of clohtes and books awaiting a trip to the salvation army, bathroom linens and supplies with no home, scrabook supplies, and more. Well, since my main goal of the year is creating a house of order, we're on our way. The process of putting together this new bedroom created about 5 other organizational projects along the way (which are all still in process, naturally).

Although the room calls for artwork, photos, book shelves, and furniture to be refinished (which was mine growning up and my mother's before), it is habitable with clean bedding and new blinds in place. Hurray for Little Miss Sunshine taking a nap in her new bed! Oh, and the green walls aren't as shocking in real life- they're much more muted.
