We finally broke down and purchased book cases for our office/library. The motivation was seeing a friend's house where she'd used the exact bookcases I wanted to use in our house. Hubby & I shopped Saturday and then worked all weekend removing books & old bookshelves; followed by putting in the new bookcases and all of the books.
And the bookcases are 98% full. Bummer. But hubby agreed that he'd have to limit himself to that 12 foot wall of books. So at least when the 8 boxes of books come home from storage, he'll have to really weed out books.
My parents are going to take the largest of hte 3 bookcases we removed from the room. I think youngest DS will take one bookcase in his room. So that just leaves us with one to get rid of. I'm hoping they can use it at church.
We also inherited a dining room table and chairs from my in-laws. That arrived this weekend as well. We still have a couple of things to get from them before their move in 2 weeks. but I am finally inspired to move forward with freshening up my house. Paint and decluttering are on the agenda for awhile to come, but it's a good agenda to have.
Dinner is already in the crock pot for tonight, so today has been a good day.
