The grandchildren's room - much better now!

My big project for this week was getting the grands room in our home back to some kind of organization.  It is a nice sized bedroom with a good closet, but it has to house stuff for the 5 grands and some stuff for the future 2 grands, and it also holds some of my shopping stockpile.  

It took 3 evenings to go through everything.  It was sorted- some stuff was thrown away and some stuff went to the grands homes. 
Mid-sort  Scary, right?



AFTER
I am happy to say the grands room is done for now!  All sorted and organized and easy to get to anything. 
I changed out the bed cover and put toys on the shelf. 
Stuffed toys fill that storage tub. 
I put the organizers back in the toy cubbies- looks much neater, Right? 
The shelf over the changing table holds stacks of diapers by size and changing products. 
The bins underneath hold clothes for the 2 youngest grand sons as they are very close in size. 

The closet got the most work.  
The top shelf holds the wwipes stockpile and assorted toys. 
Most clothes are on hangers now.  
The shelves are labeled as to who the clothes belong to and one shelf is just for assorted pajamas.


The other end of the closet - the clear tub holds future clothes, the black tub is shoes. 

For months, I've been buying diapers at good deals. Moving them out of that closet really helped with making more space there.  I moved them all to the bottom shelf of a large cabinet on the hall bathroom,  the packs are stacked in there 2 and 3 deep and I think there are 33 packs of assorted sized diapers.  
I'm really thankful I've been able to stockpile so many but they sure take up a lot of space!  


It was a lot of work but I am so happy it is done!  I still want to shampoo the carpet, maybe next week.....
I've gone back in that room at least a dozen times just to enjoy the order and neatness :)

I spent nothing on this room re-do except $5 for clothes hangers.

Monday List

This week's list is not bad, I did the laundry and some cleaning this weekend.  

Designs are made with rubber stamps, colored with map pencils and the paper is just old fashioned lined notebook paper.  

My big project this week, at least I hope to get to it, is to some organizing in the grandchildrens room.  The winter clothes need switched out for summer clothes and all the toys, books and clothes just seem to be a mess.

Hope to have some much better AFTER photos soon
