Weekend report with rearranging and purging

[ellenmillion]

There are six big boxes and a giant bag in the back of my car destined to the Counseling and Adoption center, all purged out of Guppy's room. In addition, we hauled five boxes to the connex (from various rooms in the house), and brought a dresser in to hold linens out of everyone's closets. This entailed moving Guppy's couch-box-house to the basement, as well as the air conditioner, which required moving around shipping boxes and various other items in the basement. And the little side table from Guppy's room went into the bedroom, and the cube shelf moved to another wall, and we installed a closet rod in Guppy's closet, and the sum of the whole thing is that we basically have a WHOLE NEW HOUSE. I don't know where anything is, but there is all kinds of clear space, and it's all much prettier.

Here is Guppy testing out the size of the dresser drawers.

Some writing now, while Guppy finishes her lunch!

Oh my goodness, look at that big girl!

Also, GO YOU. We badly need to do such a thing at my house and keep not doing ny of it.

It's challenging! Every (seemingly) little change requires another, and another, and another, and then you end up with an entirely new house. Worth the work, but a frightening task from the beginning.

Aw, both pics of Guppy are adorable!
