What I did *before* my summer vacation!

It all started seven years ago.  Seven years ago, we took a guest room and turned it into a nursery.  Lots of stuff from the guest room migrated into the craft room.  Sometime later, I sort of cleaned it up so it was partly usable.  Then three years ago, we took an office and turned it into another nursery.  Lots of stuff from the office migrated into the craft room.  With two small children and a small business, I’ve had no time to try to clean it up, though I have made a couple of half-hearted attempts over these past three years.

Last summer it looked like this:

And really, it’s only gotten worse since then.  Much, much worse.  Two weeks ago I decided I was either going to have this room cleaned up before school let out, or I was going to rent a dumpster, park it outside the window, and throw it all out.

This is what it looks like today:

(We won’t talk about how much I’ve neglected the rest of the house in order to get this room clean.  That’s a project for this weekend!)
