Tackle It Tuesday- Laundry Room

Christy — Tue, 11 Sep 2007 08:13:00 +0000

I don’t have a before picture of my laundry room- My dad helped me with it when he was here visiting, and he got started without me. But before, it had white walls and one wire shelf above the washer and dryer. We painted and installed a new cabinet system. The board that you see under the cabinet will be a corkboard for messages and stuff. I have a roll of cork to cover it with, but me and scissors and straight lines aren’t a happenin’ trio, so I am waiting until I find my quilting supplies to cut the cork.

At some point, I’ll put some cute baskets up on top of the cabinets, and some sort of key holder and maybe mail sorter on the right-hand wall, but that is a tackle for another day!

Tackle It Tuesday- Chloe’s Room

Something had to change. Luke has been terrible at bedtime since Isaac left. He’s up for about 2 hours every night after bedtime yelling and screaming for different things- drinks of water, using the toilet (which he refuses to do during the day), needing a different blanket or pillow…the list goes on.

So Audrey has been sleeping in my room since she couldn’t share with him, and I wake up at every little noise she makes.

I was exhausted and frustrated with my kids. So I decided to move Audrey’s crib into Chloe’s room and totally rearrange the furniture there. By myself.

Halfway through, I thought, “What in the world was I thinking?”

I took a break for a few days, but finally sucked it up and finished moving things, and here is how it turned out-

So now Audrey and Chloe are sharing a room, and Luke is still up 12 times a night, but at least I’m getting a little more sleep!
