First Re-arrange

We are moving the bedroom to the front of the house today. It's an intricate step-by-step plan consisting of (a) buying enough storage for all the clothes we have (don't forget we had a walk-in closet in the old place) (b) building above-mentioned storage (which now covers the other front door we had - floor plans and pictures to follow) and (c) playing that game where you shuffle large pieces of furniture from one room to another without jamming yourself up in the process with only a small room as a buffer.

We are in the midst of step (b). Mike is assembling a decent looking Ikea closet thing which I think will be the best solution for the space we have. It's easy to move and switch around and is fairly well built unlike the crappy Ikea things out there. It is also customisable which is very important. My work clothes and personal clothes are so different and I have to wear so many work clothes each time cos of my aversion to being cold. Plus sizing down from that walk-in closet has really been difficult for both of us.

Once we put up this closet thingy, I'm moving all our clothes into it and tossing out the old chest of drawers we bought from Craigslist and these cube things we bought from Target. This (is supposed to) lead us to moving the bed into the front and then moving the dining table into the back. Then the little furniture items are not going to be do tough to do. While this process sounds neat in theory, the reality is like moving all over again - things strewn everywhere and little things getting lost in the mix.

I'll let you know how it turns out...
