We worked really hard today starting with the cleaning project.  I would have started another video but with it being 11:00 and we finally got the army bunk out and the new bed and Ethan was tired.  We would have had it done earlier but we stopped to watch Where The Wild Things Are.  We have a lot of stuff sorted and a lot of things tossed out in the trash.  Tomorrow we will finish up some surfaces and hopefully get to the closet.  So far it is a success but there is still a lot of work to be done and then I will need to find homes for the items that I decide to keep.  I asked Ethan to keep two shelves in the closet but he offered them all to me we will see if I need the space but I did clear off my small bookshelf in the room which he can use so maybe it won’t be so bad.  It sure does look strange with the built in desk tore out.  It is definately not my room anymore and we have been talking paint colors so come this spring when things warm up and we can ventilate a bit better it is bound to change more. 

I can’t wait to show you the final project.  One weekend and a bit of commitment can really change a room if you put your mind to it.  If you have a disasterous room or if you feel your entire house is a disaster just take a room a month and work at it.  Most of us don’t have more than twelve rooms in our homes and if you do I am sure you can combine two small rooms and finish in a year.  After you get one done just make sure to do a tidy weekly and keep it up.  I know I am feeling motivated to make some changes around here!
