Room #1 - Kid's Bedroom

I'm starting with this phantom room because, frankly, it doesn't exist yet. This is the approximately 12 by 12 room in the rear of my home that functioned at my office and study until we had our child three years ago. On two occiasions I have purged this room of clutter and found ways to fill it up again to the point of unusability. I'll talk more about the life cycle of this room in future posts.

PROBLEM: Our three-year-old still sleeps in our bedroom, IN HIS ORIGINAL CRIB!!! In order to foster independence for him as well as a play area for him, he needs to have exclusive access to this room. We have made partial attempts to convert this area into his bedroom / toy room to no avail. G's artifacts are scattered throughout the house and so I feel that attacking this room head on is the first key to chipping away at the clutter in other rooms and reclaiming our bedroom.

GOAL: PURGE this room of any artifacts that aren't actively in use. COMPLETE the construction of G's bedroom furniture and move his furniture and toys into the room by Jan 1.
