It finally happened. I had a melt down...not a crying, screaming event, just an overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to put anything. Yesterday, Mike was off from work, so we spent the morning deciding on furniture changes and storage solutions. Mike purchased a new bookcase for the family room. We're moving the to storage cupboards out of the dining room. One will go into Madelyn's room (next to the two bookcases) and the other will go down to the basement to hold sewing supplies. Two smaller bookcases in the family room will be moved near the fireplace and the armoire with the game system tv and game systems will go where the smaller bookcases were. I can't describe my feelings of joy at unloading and moving all of these full bookcases. The armoire weighs a ton empty, so it will need to be emptied also before it can be moved.
The new bookcase was planned to go on a wall next to three other large bookcases and it was supposed to butt up against a side wall. The bookcase was 1/2 inch to wide to fit in the hole. Last night, Mike and I emptied and moved the three large bookcases. Each shelf contains 2 rows of books. I'll let you imagine the amount of books that were piled on the floor.
