This green dresser is in our living room. The top right drawer holds masks, snagged pacifiers, one pen and pencil, and Bobby pins that I need to get a tray for. Also a phone stand so the kids don't fight over holding my phone.
The left side and bottom drawer have some rustic boys' art prints I hope to hang someday. They need a new home, this dresser in the living room isn't suitable for them. The remainder of the dresser is 99% empty. Maybe I should move it out of the living room.
Ta-da! Beautiful bunch of wasted space. Should I move it somewhere more useful or leave it because it suits this room? (Great find, Bridget!) I have the missing drawer pull but can't find the right sized screw to affix it.
This China cabinet/book hutch has Henry's text books and other reference books including some theology and catechism books in the drawers and cabinets because they are never used (but H wants to keep) and I doubt the kids will try to get them out.
On top are magnatiles and duplo Legos out of reach.
The shelves of the hutch are not where I want them. Honestly books (kids books and school books and Henry's books) are hard for me to manage. I keep books I don't even like because I think they're good for the kids to have access to.
I need to work more on books. I have them in pockets all over the house and that's not ideal.
This is the main space for grab-able kids books (they also have some in their bedrooms). I rotate them often and keep the extras in our storage unit in Woodbridge. I'd like to greatly pare down even with rotating. These rarely get read even with rotating.
