Dining and Craft Room - Days 5 & 6

More decluttering and wiping down.
1.
Some of the DVDs and c.d's went to the charity shop. The DVDs that were left were boxed and moved to the living room as I plan to create new storage for them there. We are going to transfer all the c.d's to iTunes and they'll then be stored in the loft.

Oh dear! What a lovely sight washing piles (clean I might add) waiting for the respective owners to put away.


5.
Shelves all clear ready to be adorned  with the new decorative treasures, which
I'm planning to both make and hunt down in charity shops. Hmm, Son no.4's sock and axe seem to have appeared here already, which just goes to show how hard it will be keeping things in order. I think I'm going to need an action plan for getting the family to cooperate, but I guess setting an example is a good place to start.

This small window has always intrigued us, it seems an odd design - we have one large main window (as can be seen in pic 4) and next to it this extra little high window!

  1. It looks like you are getting lots of work done there. Inspires me to get busy. Down with a summer cold at the moment but thinking as soon as I am better I think I need to get to organizing.
