A New Look!

I haven't posted since Hallowe'en for a couple of reasons ... one is because I'm participating in Nanowrimo and mean to go through to the end of the month and beyond...

...and the other is because we bought a lovely new bedroom set at a great price. Gordon's Furniture has been going out of business for the last 6 weeks and we'd been in to look at their stuff a while back. At that time, they weren't very negotiable about their prices and so we figured we could wait a little longer to get our set--we'd already waited 3 years, right? Anyway, last weekend we were out shopping and on whim I asked TB to stop by Gordon's again. This time they agreed to our price!

I meant to take before pictures of our bedroom and I did--but it wasn't until after we'd begun moving things around and cleaning up. So here are some before pictures:

This is our bed...and this is just about the way it's looked except usually the pillows are more organized and sometimes I put my stuff animals on it.

We emptied out our dressers and two bookcases and put the contents into boxes. TB moved the furniture out so we could make room for the new stuff.

Where did all the stuff go? Much of it went into the hallway between our room and the family room but a lot of it ended up here:

and here:

And then...our new furniture arrived on Thursday! Here is part of our room now...

Naturally, Amber and Mouse believe the new bed set is just for them.

Well...but we have a looooong way to go because TB and I are such packrats!

I have been going through our stuff little by little and have gotten rid of a lot--I just have tons more to go through!
