First big "baby is coming" project!!



Well, as usual, my brain is running with all the projects that "need" to be done before baby gets here. I think my poor husband just might go crazy. He keeps asking where I think all the time and money is going to come from. One day at a time, babe! That's why I have prioritized the list according to need vrs want and expense. So, keep posted for more exciting things to come!!
We did get one project crossed off the list and it was a big one and a cheap one. Just a couple pieces of wood, a few bins and our creativity!!

The soon-to-be baby room is currently serving as a playroom, a storage room for extra bedding, baby stuff, sewing stuff, all things crafty and those things you can't get rid of but don't know what to do with. By July it has to be simply a baby room. We started by moving out all things crafty. My wonderful husband re-shelved our vacuum closet. I have two smallish shelves, one huge one and plenty of room at the bottom for vacuums and brooms. I used the purchased bins, unloaded all things crafty out of the dresser, leaving it almost empty and ready for baby stuff, and found all the other miscellaneous crafty supplies from all other hiding places through out the house! They are all neatly stored away in the vacuum closet. Label, sorted and stored!!

Well, after turning the vacuum/cleaning closet into a vacuum/craft closet, all the cleaning supplies had to be moved into the laundry room. So, under went project-spruce up the laundry room! Jared re-shelved the cabinets and now I can store all cleaning supplies and overflow pantry stuff! We also re-used leftover paint from the kitchen and then purchased some bright pinky-orange paint for the wall (there wasn't enough yellow). So, now the laundry room is nice and cheery and should leave me wanting to do lots of laundry for my family! : ) (It could happen)

So, that's one project down... too many left to do!! Will continue working on cleaning out that playroom!
