Time to move things around again

We have three weeks ALONE! It is something very special to have time alone, especially when you are a newlywed.

I am rearranging things again, moving things into a better place, into a temporary place or moving them into the shed. We need more space, being cramped is getting on my nerves. So, today I will pack up more books, temporarily pack up all my little personal things that are sitting on my 'hall table' and move some computer things into the dining room for Martin to work on. We have been planning our remodel for our bedroom/sitting room, our space, for months. Now we are going to start...something. I'm hoping by tomorrow I should be ready to wash down the ceiling.

I watched an old episode of Extreme Make-Over the other day and they were making an airplane room, they have such wild ideas. They put those overhead storage compartments from a plane up on the walls near the ceiling! Those things hold lots of stuff, wouldn't that give me extra space? I like that idea! I told Martin, "I want some of those in here my love". He took a deep breath then we agreed that book shelves on two walls near the ceiling would look much better and he wouldn't hit his head on them either. He even went back to the idea of attaching a set of shelves, ceiling to floor, to the existing wall between the rooms for "things". He is such a good man!

I have the paint colors picked out and for the life of me I can't remember what they are (the planning stage has lasted way too long). I've got them stashed in my cedar chest, time to dig them out. I'll post before and after pictures so that you can see the progress going on. So far I have the wall paper ripped off the walls in our bedroom, so the walls are two ugly shades of green, and the carpet is partly ripped up where we took half the wall down between the rooms way back in December. It looks similar to what it did, for those who visited, in December. It needs lots of help to make it into a place where we can be comfortable without being cramped.
