It's amazing how your son's bedroom easily transitions into a storage unit once he takes a wife. The door stays closed. No one enters or even catches a glimpse of the well appointed bedroom where your precious little boy once slept every night!
When painters come and wall hangings are stored - it seems the logical option. When winter clothes are switched out for the springtime wardrobe - the perfect place for temporary storage of overflow and excess is just a few doors down the hall. The now vacant bedroom becomes the "in a hurry", "in a pinch", "catch all"!
Today's application point: schedule a pick-up of donations within 48 hours! No matter what distractions or opportunities arise, the foreknowledge of a truck backing up your driveway will motivate you! There are empty boxes lined up, along with a grand supply of lawn bags in Tyler's room - time to fill them with unnecessary clothing and household items!
Update to come! (thanks for all the stories, comments, and ideas shared in the last few days - feel free to share some here for all to see!)
So, here's a pic of Tyler's "still-made" bed! (you can see the headboard if you look closely...it's behind the wall hangings, out of season clothes - and extra fabric from the new valances!) FYI - he would've been seriously grounded if this happened on his watch!
