simplify.

I think I have organized, cleaned, and rearranged almost every room in my house 2 or 3 times this summer. I guess that is what happens when you have too much time off work. :) It's a good thing I have a patient husband. 

I have this need to get rid all the junk in my home. It might be possible that I have gone a little overboard, but I still feel like there is SO much junk in my house. I just don't know what else to get rid of. 

We got a new bed in our room. Before it arrived, I cleaned everything out. I even got rid of our dresser. We have everything in our closet. Kind of weird, but I love it. I took our side tables out, and I love not having them. I also don't like having anywhere to put the baby monitor (yes, I still use a baby monitor!), my phone, and whatever else I need by my bed. Today I finally put it back in there. I still don't like it. 

(Gage would CRY if I was not taking a photo of HIM!)

I do, however, like my new duvet cover and bed. I was afraid it would look terrible with red walls, but it seems to look okay. I am almost excited for it to get cold so I can put the duvet in the cover! 

I decided that our living room was far too cluttered. I love my bookshelf, but I don't like how busy it makes the room. I decided that I would put it in Gage's already tiny room! In order to get it back there, I had to take it completely apart and then reassemble it in his room. It fits along the wall perfectly, but his room is already super small. I love having somewhere to put his toys, blankets, books, shoes, and everything else. So nice! I like it! 

Gage wanted to help show off his room. 

Our living room is still boring and cluttered. I don't know what I want. maybe I just need to paint all the walls white. ha ha. I do need to redo all of our photo arrangements though. I am in the process of printing new photos.

The only problem with our new living room is that the DVD's are where Gage can reach them. That has been frustrating. He will learn though. It may take a little time. 

I have cleaned out the back bedroom a few times and even gave away our spare bed. I really don't know what else I can get rid of in this house. :)
