"Organdizing"

I am a definite Type A personality. One of the hardest things for me about living in an apartment is that we have zero space. It drives me crazy, especially knowing that we have a cute little three-bedroom home in Houston that someone else is living in.

I couldn't find a good picture of our house, so this will have to do.

I decided that we needed to organize the kids room to start off the New Year. Initially, all I wanted to do was buy a big blue tub with rope handles (see below) to use as a toy box. I tried Wal Mart and Target, but neither one had them. I was excited to see they had them at lowes.com. So I checked Home Depot

I saw the picture below on their home page. That's when the "organidizing" vision exploded.

We had a bookcase kind of like that in our front room. I decided to move that bookcase (or rather have David move that bookcase) to the kids' room and get all the kid toys and books out of the living room. Thank goodness David is a good sport!

There's not a lot we can do to a room since we're renting, but I'm happy with the results.

 

Last year we had taken Baylie's dresser and painted a stove top on it.

And now our living room has a lot more space (check out that dinosaur of a t.v.).

Enough space, in fact, to do yoga.
