We had four ikea bookshelves upstairs full of books, DVDs, CDs, board games, and misc. Two of the shelves were in the office, two were in the guest bedroom (on the wall to the left of the guest room bed, always just out of view when I took a photo)...
I attacked the shelves today...took them apart, and moved them downstairs piece by piece (my DH helped move the long sides this evening)...now, here is where they stand:
The CDs and DVDs are on the ledge...
The books are stacked in the office...
Removing the bookshelves from the office left me some room to play. I moved the desk from its previous spot in front of the windows, and slid it into the corner...Why? Because our next door neighbor's new window looks pretty much straight into ours. Besides, it let me push the leather chair into the corner between the windows, creating a cozy reading nook.
The sewing machine needed SOMEWHERE to go in this house...so it is getting cozy next to the desk.
The guest room is opened up again and ready to accept the wardrobe (once I clean the wardrobe...I still haven't addressed the smells...its just 'airing out'...I haven't even sniffed it lately to see if its improved...)
You can see my two Craigslist chairs are waiting to become part of a vignette next to the new armoire. Patience my pretties. I also began to round up all the misceallaneous unhung picture frames and stacked them in the corner of the guest bedroom...
Sorry I didn't take pictures this morning...these rooms looked very different...but I snapped some photos now because we will be making improvements to the office, and to the guest room in the upcoming days and weeks... These two rooms definitely need a lot of work...
Update: Ahhh...I am feeling too cluttered today...maybe the sewing machine needs to be stashed in the storage room...
