The Projects: More Shelves
To my everlasting shame, we've had boxes of my papers sitting on the sun room steps pretty much since we moved here. Once we got the living room (and guest room) straightened out, it seemed like the next thing.... And since we still had parents about, we got to it!

There were
two piles of boxes, actually, one on each end of the step down to the sun room. Hardly noticeable.... really.
So, we got some plastic shelves, and we got a set of drawers, built some risers (to supplement the step). The hardest part, for me, was going through the boxes to sort them out. The ones on the top and bottom are the "boy I hope I don't have to open these again anytime soon, but I can't get rid of them" boxes. The ones in the middle are the "I really, really ought to be doing something with these, so I'll make them accessible" boxes. The set of drawers is Max's, and he's had a wonderful time picking themes for them (moving things, animals, blocks) and putting his things away.
Aside from dignity, what we've really gained is an immense amount of floor space.
