What a crazy, busy day!! We moved Charlie’s small Ikea dresser into the office/baby room/cat lair and I washed and folded all of the newborn clothes and got them put away. Meanwhile, Vann and Carl broke their backs (not literally, but still) getting our new armoire up our front stairs and into Charlie’s room. It is a lot bigger than the piece of furniture that was there, but we had measured it and knew it would take up some space.

HOWEVER, I should say that after an hour or so alone in there (Vann took Charlie to the grocery store) I made a ton of progress and got most of her fall clothes put away. I’ve never been able to hang everything before (only the fancier things, and in my closet) so it was awesome to be able to SEE all of it!! Not only that, but Charlie even has boxes for socks, tights, hats, and bows!!

Now, I know, dear readers, that not all of you can appreciate such things, but having this extra bit of space is going to be a lifesaver for us! Here are some “before” pics (I’ll share the “after” pics when I get finished with it this weekend):

You can see how large it is relative to Charlie’s size. It will be perfect in a big girl room!! We can’t thank Carl and Jill enough for this amazing gift…Vann and I were discussing how this is the kind of stuff family does for you. We are honored and so appreciative of their willingness to not only give us this piece of furniture, but give it new life and help move it in for us. They have really served us today.
