The New Year seems to always bring feelings of organizing, cleaning out and donating. It's such a good feeling to clean out and donate to others. In the first week of the new year, we went to Ikea to purchase an Expedit for the playroom. Here is what it looked like before we started...
Not horrible, but definitely in need of some TLC. Because of where the cable was installed, the television has been crammed in the corner for about 5 years. It's at 3 year-old eye level... you should have seen all the finger prints! We found some paintable trim at Lowe's that attaches to the baseboard to conceal cords. It will be nice to be able to open both doors. The small closet maid to the left was the only thing we had for easy storage and much of what you see here, the kids don't play with anymore. Time to clean out!
We cleared enough space to lay out all the parts to start our build...
Here's hubby putting together this monstrosity!
Almost finished...
I love how it adds height to the room and the television has its own little space. I'll show more pictures of the room as we get it together, but had to show you what a difference this made!
Where have you used an Expedit? We plan to use another one in the craft room!
