Project focus-continued!

I thankfully had a really good helper during Spring Break. I did all the cut-in, and trim, and he rolled. I also did the 2nd coat of rolling, just to make sure we were covered. Even though this sweety was careful, there was still some drips on the carpet. Dangit! ;) We finally had to order new carpet for the last room in the house. Odgen's Carpets in Spanish Fork, gave us a great deal! I think it will match pretty well, since our original we put throughout the house 6 years ago has been discontinued but still looks fantastic!

Buh-bye Blue! Hello two-tone brown! I think it will help bring out the other accent colors we will bring in.



This is where the dresser was before. We are hoping to display the legos here nicely, and the toyboxes under the shelves.



This area is where the bunkbeds used to be. Soon to be home to an entertainment center that got a facelift by my fashion-savvy sis-in-law.

I started these ice cream buckets years ago. (I may or may not stick to this method, kind of thinking of getting canvas totes to tuck into all the shelves on the entertainment center.) It keeps most things seperated and easy to tote with one select group of toys before getting another out. This week we will be organizing this a little better while waiting for the carpet to arrive. We will be throwing out broken toys, getting rid of toys too young, and selecting a few for the upcoming team yard sale.

Finally the cobblers children are getting their own pair of blissful shoes!

Project FOCUS!

This is the last room in our 18 year-old house that needs updating and attention! IN A SERIOUS WAY!

I think because it's in the basement I haven't thought (more like been motivated enough) to do much about it. These 2 adorable little boys need to feel like their space matters too!

So here I go, with Spring Break, school ending, and my job security leaving the nest for all day, now is the time to get-r-done! Also our annual Competitive SOCCER Team Yard Sale on or around Memorial Weekend, (we may just hit the mountain in that new trailer of ours-finally), but what a great deadline to get rid of at least 1/2 of this room and repurpose other furniture thoughout the house. And the fact that I'm posting this means there has to be a follow-up.



See the little preschool toys, they maybe getting sold or donated to family with littler ones. Sniff, sniff, the last little nephew will also not be coming here for daycare anymore as for bitter-sweet, his mom will get to stay home, which means I don't get him all day.




The boys probably won't need a little cupboard in their big boy room. We've hidden it nicely inside another closet in my upstairs craftroom. (Will not be getting rid of that-Gpa Hooper made it just for me.) But the table will be a great place to sit and put legos together. As for the toybox, the goal is to actually shut the lid!




TOO MUCH!
Idea: Seperate the bunkbeds, getting bedskirts, and hiding huge diesels and trucks under the bed.




Adding more shelves and utilizing the alcove for the toyboxes.




There will be structure! And alot less blue! (It seemed a good idea at the time....)

 Wish me Luck! Hopefully my boys will have a beautiful (yes, I said beautiful-your home should be beautiful to you) and blissful space of their own! Stay tuned!
