Project Friday

So, I'm sharing this idea that my friend, Ali, brought to my attention. Every Friday I will choose a "project" to do during the week. I will take" before" pictures and post them. And the following Friday I will (hopefully) post the "after" pictures. Some will be smaller projects, others, probably more than I can chew...like this one!
I decided for my project this week I would do the "hide out". It's the closet under the stairs where all the toys are stored. I've had big plans for this place since we moved here...and it STILL has to be done...after 2 years!

So, here are the before photos. Wish me luck!

The closet under the stairs is the scariest place in our house. Jim and I clean it out every couple of years and OH BOY it's overdue!
:C Yikes! shawna

Oh that is going to feel so refreshing when it's done. Can't wait for the "after pictures". I am not sure how you do all that you do!

Recently, Bryant and I just dumped every single toy in a pile and then organized them. We filled up two trash cans full of toys (mostly bryant did that... then I ended up digging through the trash to get the nice toys he threw out)! It was an adventure!

We actually hid a bunch of buckets of toys in the closet, so then when the kids get stir crazy, I go and find a bucket that they have not played with in a few weeks. It's working out nicely.

Good luck to you!

just buy reinforced hinges so you can use the door to push or compact the toys behind it.
