Day 1 - Kid's Bedroom

Good Start, albeit the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Was there an iceburg in a proverb? I don't know, it just sounded astute.

But, I made good progress in that back bedroom this morning. Was motivated to get up early. (7:30) and make a nice dent in the room. You can see some actual carpet where there was a solid cover of junktified clutter. As I "break down" boxes and consolidate them / eliminate cherished junk, I'm trying to convert the space into "kid space" rather than try to wholesale clean and THEN move our son in.

However this still leaves my with my closet problem. Mind you with the exception of our faux walk-in closet in our bedroom, these are the ONLY two storage alcoves in our home. Both of them are piled to the ceiling with cherished junk. Excuse me, rather, they are piled to the ceiling with junk and spilling out into the floor. Rather than rip out the entire contents of the closets, I'm going to attempt to conserve the kid friendly space I created and whittle down the closet space to mere essentials.

I do have a rental storage unit that is also completely packed. Some of these items can go into that, but that storage unit a.k.a. "THE BLACK HOLE" is best left for later description.
