This room's problems

The hallway outside of the bedrooms & main bathroom should be completely clear of debris. We've always had a tendency to let things pile up in the alcove outside the bathroom door, but at least the main hall was empty. Until a few months ago. In an effort to clean up some of the books in the living room, Neil bought more bookcases for the spare bedroom. He had to move a few old pieces of furniture out to make room for them. We have been planning to keep the old furniture in the garage for the day when the boys have their own rooms and need a second dresser, etc, but they're still in the hallway - some of the drawers are still full of things we were storing, like old photos and old bills. Those things will need to find a new home before the dressers can make an exit.

Updates

03/22/06: I emptied one dresser and put it into service elsewhere, and the other dresser is still there, but looking more like it belongs there. I still intend to get rid of it completely, but until I get a moment to clear it out, it looks ok where it is.

02/19/06: The hallways is blissfully clear, except for those dressers which I still need to empty.

 

Done here? Drop by The Polka Dot Cottage for some friendly banter about all things "homey" and creative!
