Because I am like that.

You’d think the day before school starts, I would be out, doing something crazy-fun with the kiddos, relishing every last moment of summer…

Not I.

The way I cope with things that are stressful/not so pleasant, is to take on some too large project for the free time allotted in my life.

That is why this year, the day before school started, I was re-organizing Lynn’s room.

I took EVERYTHING off the walls, patched and touched-up the paint.

(I wasn’t crazy enough to paint it a new color like I really wanted to.)

The neutral color needed to be matched, Home Depot was awesome at that.

(But it is boring, and I REALLY wanted to paint it a pale pink.)

Lynn was so excited for her room make-over, but a little disappointed there would be no pink going on her walls.

(Yet.  I am not crazy..  I WILL do it LATER..)

It was pretty much decided in my head that we would be getting her these shelves from IKEA.  Just like mine in the craft room.  I love them so much!  And they have dropped in price. :)

We already had the bins.  It is nice that this stuff is all off the floor.

This just got re arranged a little.

Love this…

Some things in her room are old, some are new, some are just re-arranged.  Her room is organized better and she has more space!

So even in my craziness, I think it is a great way to start off a new year of school.
