Here's what Ramiro & my room looked like when I first moved in:
Pretty bad, huh?It took a long time for us to shift everything around and make things work, but, by January 10th, we had it looking like this:
This layout served us pretty well for a long time, but the past few weeks, Ramiro's been saying "I want to rearrange our room! >:(" So today I said "Okay, then let's do it!"It took hours, but this is what our room looks like as of today:
Here's what was changed:1.) We threw away a lot of trash and did a massive cleaning job.
2.) We got rid of one of the desks. Ramiro had found it "FREE!" on a sidewalk. That's where it is again. It was a pretty terrible desk. You can have it if you want it (and know where we live).
3.) We put Ramiro's art table where the terrible desk was. It's now his art table AND his computer table... Which is how he had it a long time ago, when he was quite productive.
4.) Ramiro's art chair is now his art/computer chair and the other chair is now by the TV for anyone to use (it has a heat/massage thing on it too and a pillow).
5.) Our nightstand is now by the TV. This upset me at first because I had been using it to do my writing on, but we went out and got me a lap desk with some of the money I've been earning and it's the BEST THING EVER. I'm very happy now. Though I do worry somewhat that I'll fall off our bed without the nightstand there to keep me from rolling... Though I guess I won't hit my head as often now. We'll see what happens!
6.) You can't see it, but we rearranged our bookshelf so things aren't stacked anymore. They're lined up like they should be. Also, we had a big bag/pile of VHS tapes lying around on the floor that's all tucked away now. We also put all the cat's toys in the cat bed (it was too small for them to actually sleep in) like a toy box. And they've actually been using it! Our "kids" are so smart! :3
We have a lot more floor space now (and we found out it's much easier to vacuum). It's going to take some getting used to, but Ramiro keeps saying "I love it! I love it!" and smiling happily and that makes me feel happy too. :)
Until next time...
