Yesterday my husband and I took it upon ourselves to rearrange our home. We have been here for over a year, so it’s high time we get organized. Hubby bought some bookshelves, utility shelves, and little things we needed to help us get the job done. We didn’t move too much of our office furniture around, though, as the living room is the ideal place for it.

We got some bookshelves for the Kid, too. I moved his desk around and put the shelves on either side in a way. I still have to move his big toy box to under the window, his videos to a dresser drawer, and one of his cabinets to replace the other brown one that is leaving his room. I have to find a place to put his shoes, too. When we are done, his room will be easier to maintain.

Our bedroom got a closet overhaul. Hubby and I threw all the clothes we aren’t using in a bag for a charity organization. The rest of the stuff was reorganized to fit in the dressers, closets, and armoire that we have.

All my books are now on the shelves where they belong instead of in boxes in the closet. I think we forgot one box of books, but that is only because the other shelving unit has not been assembled yet. My plates from Puerto Rico are now on display where they belong. It’s really getting to be nice in our house.

We still want to replace the dining set as neither of us really enjoys round tables. He wants to get a coffee table, but with our rambunctious dog and Kid it would be like telling them to commit sideways *as my father would call it*. I want to make a custom fit black satin cover for the side table since now everything in the living room is black and the wood is clashing with everything else. Maybe we will get a new one when we get a new dining set.

Now we have to find the time to take this entire HUGE pile of things to the charity bins. We have been collecting charity items for a while now, just haven’t gone to the bins yet. Hopefully we can do that before I go to Texas. We would have gotten even more done last night, but hubby got a call from his job telling he had to come in from 3AM to 3PM *BLECH!* because no one else was available to cover the shift.
