- New living room coffee table (the wood table on the wood floor was driving me crazy)
- New dining room rug (now that Bruno is gone, we don't have to worry about it getting pooped on, barfed on, etc.)
- New family room rug (again, there's almost too much wood)
- Cleaned out recipe books to make room for a less-cluttered built-in cabinet in the kitchen
- New shoe organization at the door. We had this old, broken thing that was holding way more shoes than we use, especially now.
- Put up shelves in boys' rooms to display LEGO builds so that they're not all over the house
And of course, finding space for everyone to work and school at home has been tough. We just don't have extra room for anything. The boys are set up for online school in their rooms. I have been working in the playroom, which is less than ideal (space, temperature). Chuck started the school year working in the Scamp, but then winter came and it just became harder, so now he's in the basement. It's not great, but where else can he go? There's barely room in our bedroom for our bed, so that's out. And...now we're out of space. So basement it is.
I guess it doesn't seem like that much. However, what's making me sad is how much I feel like we need a new space with more space. Or just a garage. Or just everyone needs to leave the house.
