Projects

As we are getting ready to move Jared to his big-boy bedroom, we have finally gotten around to some projects I have been wanting to do forever! First, we painted an OLD yellow dresser that we inherited when we were first married. Now it's a nice, lovely tan color. I'm excited to be able to put Jared's clothes, pj's, socks, etc. in this dresser (rather than in his closet) so that he can actually reach them.

We also painted an old, crappy nightstand that we inherited when we got married. It's now a lovely white instead of dirty beige. I've also been anxious to organize our computer room, so I found a half-size filing cabinet for free on KSL classifieds which needed a new coat of black spray paint. It looks so good now! Not bad for a 97-cent can of spray paint. (Sorry, no pictures of the nightstand or the filing cabinet.)

Other "nesting" things I want to get done before our new baby comes in less than three months:

• organize Jared's playroom
• organize my bedroom closet
• organize our basement storage closets

Unfortunately, in order to do this organizing that I want to, it means we need to buy some things: shelves with bins for toys, an additional dresser, and storage shelves. If only money grew on trees...
