Warning: This is a photo-heavy post.
The other Sunday (this is also late post), we stayed home because my younger sister was sick. Sundays are usually the only time I go outside the house, so that was a bummer. But then, I also planned on staying home that time because I seriously needed to work on my room, ASAP! I mean, take a look at this:
 |
| Messy! |
Isn't it just depressing? I needed to do something with it right away!
Even the laundry basket needs detoxifying.
 |
| Full laundry basket |
And some of the clothes did not even make their way to the basket! Tsk! Perhaps, you can spot some familiar clothing pieces from
here and
here. :-)
 |
| Overflowing shelf! |
I placed a shelf at the foot of Y's crib when I made the
sidecar arrangement. It's Y's shelf and I place there the toys and other stuff that he's not able to use yet. Those things are practically falling. No kidding!
 |
| I needed some music to get me moving. |
That's my little laptop there, right on our unmade bed (and crib).
I always pride myself on my handyman skills. When I noticed that I had a lot of bags all over the room, I decided to just keep them inside my closet. I looked for a short bar and then some hooks with clips. Then, I made a special nook for those bags I use regularly:
 |
| My bucket bag from Fossil, my everyday diaper bag from SM Parisian, and a big diaper bag from Baby Couture |
I know it's not pretty, but that's because it's temporary. And I worked on it myself. Believe me when I say I'm a handyman. I have proof:
 |
| A red screwdriver and a bag of hooks and screws of all sorts |
Yes, I seriously keep those in my room. I guess I really love screwing - no pun intended.
After an hour, my efforts finally paid. Here's my a-bit-better-looking room:
 |
| Neater - in my opinion! |
I moved Y's two shelves against the window. The smaller one no longer supports the crib, but we've been doing fine for two weeks now. I think the room looks neater, though more crowded.
 |
| Y's shelves full of Y's stuff |
When I moved the crib into my room months ago, I had to place my desk outside in the hallway to create space. But I wasn't comfortable because I had a lot of personal belongings inside it. So even though my room is already too crowded with all the furniture in it, I just had to move it back.
 |
| My gigantic desk, care of my friend, Teena. The laundry was yet to be taken care of. |
And despite moving the table inside my already-cramped room, I was also compelled to place a small sidetable beside my bed to house the things I usually use. Oh well...
 |
| Under it is a box that houses J's gifts |
Since the smaller shelf is no longer at the foot of the crib, I had to place something that will act as barriers to keep Y from falling from the bed (just in case he ventures to the foot of the bed). Here's my temporary solution:
 |
| I'm sorry, this is the best I could come up with. |
I extended the crib's bumpers, tied them to my bed post, and well, looped a couple of my belts around the rails. So far, Y has never wandered toward the foot of the bed yet, so I'm not worried.
And here's the boy himself:
I did all the work and you're the one to fall asleep? How dare you! #kidding
And I finally took some rest, too. :-)

| Oops. Should've taken it in landscape format. Haha! |
It was a good day.
