I am ecstatic with the way my daughter's room turned out. We took her chest of drawers out and we plan to put it in storage. She had asked me not to put it in her room to begin with because she said it would be too crowded. I should have listened to her. It is amazing how much taking the chest of drawers out opened up her room. She will kill me, but I am posting before I got a hold of it and after. In all fairness to my daughter, she needed containers to organize better and it wouldn't be so hard for her to keep up.
Bed before Mom got a hold of it.
Bed after Mom got a hold of it. Simba says hi. Amy, notice the can of cheese is gone beside the bed? ROFL. I did leave her Dasani though. Hee.....
Before Mom got a hold of it.
After Mom got a hold of it.
There are a box of videos to the right sitting in the floor. I am going to get a plastic container to hold those for her that she can just slide under her bed for storage. Now you know I gotta go retake this picture because I left that sock sticking out of the top left dresser drawer, lololol.
You couldn't even walk in here! That chest of drawers has been removed.
The bookcase was beside the dresser. We took the chest of drawers out and put the bookcase where it was. See how much more room she has now?
The bookcase holds her electronics, books, and DVDs, along with lots of knick-knacks. I plan to have Hubby build her some more shelving for the knick-knacks so the bookcase won't look so cluttered, but it still looks better and opens the room up by taking the chest of drawers out, moving the bookcase to that wall, and centering the dresser on the wall it is on.
If you scroll back, I think it was in the first pic, this chest was loaded down with junk. I cleaned it off and put her favorite lights and photos on it. This is a cedar chest my Mom kept my baby clothes in when I was little. I have given her permission to paint it to match her purple room. I hope she likes it. She has not seen the finished product yet.
This concludes the tour of our new abode. Hope you enjoyed your visit! Please come again!~
Blessings!~

You have done it again Susan ~ what a difference the after shots are ~ Ally x
Wow you have done an incredible job. And listen anytime you feel the need to organize again, send me an e-mail and I will send you a ticket and my address. LOL Seriously it all looks beautiful and I am so glad you love it there. Have you heard more about the job from home? Enjoy your wonderful new surroundings and you maybe should think about a career in organizing for others. People pay big bucks for that service. Have a great week-end! jean
WOW there is tons more room without the dresser! now where did that go?? lol It looks awesome, Great job!
Organization will go a long way in making a space more usable. You are doing a great job here.
