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! |
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 needed some music to get me moving. |
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 |
A red screwdriver and a bag of hooks and screws of all sorts |
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! |
