Our summer was long and boring, if you ask my kids. In my opinion, it was the best one in recent memory. For the first time since 2006, neither of my parents spent any time as a patient in any hospital! I am so glad.
So, to fill the time, I got new bedroom furniture for my eldest child. Moved the guest room mattress set to the eldest's room. And then I proceeded to claim the former guest room and turn it into a crafting room for myself. (All of the parents live here and none stay with us, so why do we still need a guest room?)
As a result, the downstairs of the house has been decluttered and all of my crafting things (stamps, fabric, etc.) have been moved upstairs.
Once that was done, the dining room looked really drab. So, I painted the formal dining room this summer. I also cleaned out the master bedroom closet and donated heaps of clothing.
All in all, I had a great, low-key summer!
