The Battle of Midway...

Ta da! Okay, I'm only half done, but still, I've done a lot. All the furniture has been moved, and I've thrown out a couple bags of garbage. All of the children's things have been transported back to their rooms.



Some of you might be looking in this closet and thinking, "This girl has no clothes!" I have a confession to make. I have no clothes. At some point after the Princess was born I listened to the advice that you shouldn't hold on to too small clothes that you might be able to wear again 'someday'. I kept a couple pairs of jeans and a dress that I'd spent a lot of money on and barely worn, and gave the rest away. So in the beginning of the year, when I finally got my act together and lost all the baby and 'husband' weight, I was left me with....almost nothing. I bought some summer things, and I've got a few pairs of jeans in the dresser, but I think I'm going to have to hit up a couple consignment shops to get myself through the winter. Maybe Santa will be good to me!



The kids and I spent hours shopping yesterday, we hit HomeSense, and Wal-Mart, and the SuperStore, but I didn't find the boxes and bins that I want to re-organize all the craft, wrapping, gift and holiday supplies that also hide in the closet. I used some laundry baskets for the time being, but they're not pretty, I think I can hear Ikea calling my name. I'll be able to pick up a lamp there too.



You can probably see from the photos that we've never decorated this room. I think I'm going to make that my project for the spring. I want to make a big 'inspiration/bulletin' board to hang over the desk, something covered in fabulous fabric. I can dream all winter about new bedding, new bedside tables.....

But for now? It's nice just to be able to walk in there!
