Packing DD room

This weekend my goal is to get my daughter's room all packed. I worked on it all evening and it is about 2/3 of the way done. I ran out of larger boxes. There is a little left in the closet and then some more knick-knack things on the wall. I am going to take her shelves down too. The desk and bookcase are staying. I am pretty sure that I am going to spray paint both of them white. All of the boxes will go in the shed and her computer will go under the stairs with all of her art supplies. If I put them in the shed with all the other stuff they will either dry up or start a fire with all the paint!

I replaced a couple of bulbs that were out and it really helped the room. (Note to self: Get more light bulbs).

The other day I was on the county landfill website doing some research for my garden. Our landfill takes yard clippings, trees and the like mulches them and then sells it for the community to use for their garden"s. I thought that was a great idea. While I was on there I saw that they also have a paint exchange. You can bring unused paint in and exchange it for something you want. The blurb on the site said to look there before doing a repainting project. I am going to go over tomorrow and see what they have. I would like to find some primer and then a light color to go on the walls. I would like a light green, but will have to see what they have. I need to go to an appliance store and see if they have an empty fridge box that I can use as a paint box.

I measured the desk and the sewing table that I have and they are the same height. I am thinking of going to the home improvment store and just buying some MDF and putting that across the end of both of them to make my work table. My friend Carole called tonight and said that Big Lots had bookcases for $15. I might buy a couple of those to use with plastic bins, or even put two of them back to back with the MDF on top to make a cutting table. I could put casters on them so it would roll. I will have to look at them to see if it will work.
