PROJECT DONE!!!!!

Since we moved Zachary downstairs, I wanted to rearrange Elyse's room. It badly needed cleaning plus purging. I finally took the plunge and did it!

Eight hours later...did you read what I typed...EIGHT HOURS LATER, I am done with E's room. I threw out three bags of garbage, one HUGE box of garbage, three shoes boxes without any shoes in them, and one huge broken toy.

Here is part of her clean room:

Here is the rest: The culprit of messing up the room in the first place is peaking in - she wasn't allowed in the room while I cleaned because I was purging ruthlessly. She wouldn't like to see what I threw out - she keeps everything. Behind the door is several shelves. It hides a great deal of her things.

Notice the nasty white bookshelf that we took out of a neighbor's garbage. We plan on sanding it and painting it. Betsey graciously offered to help Elyse paint it. Glad it isn't me!

Now we have plenty of floor space to sleep grandchildren on during Thanksgiving weekend. That is if it stays clean!
