Time to organize

Well...as most everyone knows, we are a family of 7 in a tiny 3 bedroom house. The two older girls share a room, the two boys share a room and then Shelby, Michael and I cram into the small master bedroom. That being said, we have no storage room...seriously. We went last week and bought a monster wardrobe to put in the boys room to hold Deegan and Shelby's clothes. Now if I can get my husband to put the rest of the hanging rods in we might get the clothes hung up instead of in piles on the floor. Our living room is now the play room, which actually works for me since my "job" is playing with kids all day. I am about to spend a weeked doing a major organizing overhaul and get rid of EVERYTHING that is not used and that no one would even realize is gone :) Here are my house priorities for this year:
1. New curtains in the living room...I've hated the ones we have since before we got married!
2. New doors on all rooms.
3.Wood laminate floors in the living room and hallway...I am so tired of the "dirty" burber I could hurl.
4. Tile in the kitchen and bathrooms...mom has already agreed to help lay it.
5. Refinish bathroom tub and shower and paint bathrooms.
6. Paint living room and hallways and get artwork framed to hang.
7. Start the saving fund to add Shelby space and playroom to side of house. This project needs to be complete before her 2nd birthday. We have no business having a 2 year old still sleeping in our room!
8. Change out fixtures in all rooms...we need to be getting this house ready to sell before the end of Dakota's senior year...wish us luck :)

Hopefully getting something done!
