Of Nautical Storms and Changes in the tides pt.1

Hi, everyone! It's been so long since I've posted. A lot of things have happened in the last several months, as far as nesting goes, it's been on halt - until the past several weeks. We received the news on February 9th that Abby had been bred with Huxley. My girlfriend and are awaiting to hear the news if the breeding went swimmingly - it should only be a couple more days. If everything goes according to plan, the puppies should be born in the beginning of April, and we should be welcoming our's home in the end of May.

This exciting news of course prompted us to decide on redecorating our house and really getting our house to finally feel like a home. We were in for a complete redo - our whole house was in for a complete redo. Over the past five years or so, we've unknowingly accumulated a hoarding collection that could have been a precursor to "Buried Alive". This of course resulted in us hauling things to goodwill just to get rid of them: three very old televisions, multiple lamps, boxes and boxes full of gookers that we have collected throughout the years, clothes, books, paintings, frames, and so much more. We've made about three trips so far, and have several more to go.

We essentially started with our guest room and the hallway closets upstairs. We're looking to convert our guest room into a walk in closet/Moose's room. One of the biggest thing was cleaning out one of our closets so we can put Moose's litter box in there instead of it being in our room. Mainly for safety reasons when the puppy gets here.

Here is a photo of me in moose's new Potty Closet Organizing things

Moose's Potty Closet will have her litter box (automatic cleaning litter box) on the floor, while we have the girlfriend's Crafts on the bottom shelf, Christmas Decorations in the second shelf and the girlfriend's previous art projects/canvases/sketch books in the top shelf. As you can see in that photo, we've still got a long way to go

We still have A LOT of stuff to sort through and throw away, but this room used to be filled with stuff. We're slowly making progress. 

This is the closet opposite Moose's Potty closet. We've dubbed this closet our linen closet and we've also put a box of memorabilia on the bottom. 

We opened up a lot of closet space in our room and we've decided to make this one our Holiday Decor closet. Oh, how it feels great to be organized.

I will definitely be adding more photos and keeping you guys all updated a we progress on this project. I'll continue on with the home decor in Part 2 of this post.
