theater room

When Scott's projector stopped working several years ago, we started to use the theater room as another storage room since we couldn't immediately fix/replace the projector for awhile. Unfortunately, we let the pile get out of control, and it's looked like this for some time now:

I don't know if it's because of the new year or because I was sick of seeing this mess everytime I passed it on my way to my storage room (probably both), but I decided today was the day to do something about it.

It took all morning, but I hauled everything out of there and piled it all up in the family room. Once that was done, my vacuum got a really good workout; I couldn't believe how much dust came off from the walls alone, but the carpet made me empty out my vacuum canister 3 times! Yikes!

After I wiped down the walls and baseboards, I shampooed a few stains out of the carpet, then took a well-deserved break.

And, this is what we have now:

Scott caught me admiring it for a few minutes, but in between his laughter, he thanked me for working so hard.

We just have to move the video game consoles and TVs in here, and see about getting a new projector. Naturally, the boys are excited to get this room organized, and I'm looking forward to containing their mess in one room.

Now, all I have to do is go through the big mess sitting in the family room, and figure out what goes into the storage room, what gets donated, and what gets thrown out. According to my FitBit, I'm getting quite the workout today.

I guess that's a plus, lol.
