Fall Cleaning Update- Day 1

If you haven't read this post, it kinda explains what I'm doing this week.
Today we had check ups at the doctor, which kind of threw my day off a little bit. However, one of my youth gals came over for a chat and she kept me company while I tackled the dining room and our coat/storage closet. (Old house = little to no storage space! Drives me crazy!)

I got the room finished right around dinner time, and it makes me feel so much better knowing I can get to our winter coats, decorations, and other random stuff without things falling on me now. And the kids have another spot to do crafty stuff- which makes them happy!

Before:


(Roll top desk in dining room. Piles of crafty stuff, halloween decor that needed to be put away, fabric for imaginary sewing projects piled up on the left, and all sort o' stuff.)
After:
(Storage/coat closet. Gift bags & tissue paper, holiday decorations, purses & scarves, banners & signs, candles, coats, and the boogey man.)

That basket on the top shelf is where I keep all my seasonal mini-albums; like Christmas or birthday or Halloween ones... I pull them out during those times and display them on my mantle.

Tomorrow: we have Ariana & Sabriel's check ups, so I'm not sure what I'll get done... I will probably tackle the master bedroom since there's not a ton that has to be done, but it could use a little sprucing up!
