A Hard-Working Team

Keeping life tidy and smooth requires a team effort around here. It also requires some creativity as we work to fit a growing family in a cozy space. We're all in progress, but occassionally some of us do some pretty good work. Every so often we take before and after pics to motivate us and celebrate our accomplishments.

These are pics of our side entryway/mudroom. Benjamin is showing the custom closet built by David and designed by Tracy. It helps, in a small way, to keep all those shoes, hats, gloves, and other accessories from taking over the house!  With all that organization, it still requires daily cleaning to keep it all together. Benjy did a great job this day getting the shelves and entryway in tip-top shape!

Joshua did a great job painting our room this fall in the second big Room Switch-A-Roo we've done this year.  He rolled out three large walls in our bedroom with only a few holidays to speak of.  He's on his way!

Here are some pics of  our new School Room. We haven't had a designated school room in years. We decided to put in a magnetic chalkboard wall and found some great used matching desks for the boys.  I just love having all these great projects to keep me decluttering and organizing.
