Organizing

There have been small bursts of getting things done this summer.  Very small bursts....

It started with needing to organize this mess and hopefully make more space around the table.  

We had this storage cube system in pieces, so some Gorilla Glue later, it was set up.  

Then I took foam board and covered it with shelf paper so that it made it easier to store things on it. 

Everything in it's new place

  Now the table is straight and has more room if we have company.

 The next project was to clean up the entry way.  

A trip to Ikea brought us a new shoe rack with a bench top and some new hooks for the wall. 

 New hooks behind the door for the extra bags. 

 Much cleaner

The toys and books were next on the list.  We still had most of the little kid books on the boys' shelves in their room, so it was time to find a place for them out front.  Walmart to the rescue for this new shelf and the bins.  A few more toys were also brought out of the toy room for the littles to play with. 

 

This also meant I was able to finally fix Tyler's bookshelf that had the back fall off, which gave it a disconcerting lean.   Now all is level and their books have more space.
