Elliott recently said he no longer needed the downstairs office since he can not telecommute with his new job. I waited for a few weeks to see if he was serious. I have been playing with ideas in my mind as to what I will do with it. I am moving the majority of my office stuff down... but I have to get his stuff sorted through and organized and out first. This is a big project. Elliott is like his mom. They keep everything! I made some serious progress today... more to come.
Because I will be "moving out" of my upstairs office for the most part... I am moving all my "desk" stuff down, as well as crafts that require a table/desk (stamping, embossing, scrapbooking, etc) but I am going to leave all of my casual crafts upstairs, as well as relocated my crafting library upstairs. We are going to be looking for a nice sleeper sofa for that room, and I am looking forward to having some relaxing knitting, crocheting and hand sewing time in there. As well, it will allow us to have a nice space for guests to spend the night, or a week!
Many of my friends, who know my propensity to move things around, shuffling this to here, and that there, are probably chuckling or sharing with my husband in saying, "There she goes again..." And it is true. I love changing things up, but usually after much study and consideration. My desire is for my home to be easy to manage and keep up with. After living with things a certain way for a while I will notice areas that are struggling to be easy to maintain... and that is when they get changed.
Purging helps too... here is the effects of this past week's efforts at making room around here... can't wait to see how much goes next week!
