I don't know what it is about pregnancy. I feel literally deep down compelled and driven to fix up the house.
My main project has been clearing out the last guest room to transform it into a guest room/ nursery/ play room for the beans.
It had turned into the room where we moved everything that we no longer had room for somewhere else in the house. It's been a lot to go through.
I freecycled the full-size bed ( I have a futon in there instead), the old dresser from our master suite, and a 1960s telephone chair that had been sitting in the closet. I emptied the closets of almost everything-- a few odds and ends left. Tomorrow, I need to go through the cedar chest I inherited from my grandparents and decide what to keep, and where to put it.
I've also been cleaning out the garage and most of the closets trying to get rid of clutter. My new goal is to give what we don't use to the organizations and people who can most benefit, but that is a lot of work!
After this weekend, I am hoping to have the flooring replaced in our upstairs powder room (it is water damaged, from improper seating of the toilet). And, after I paint the new play room in an ocean theme, call the electrician to get a quote for some ceiling fans.
I don't know what's gotten into me. I haven't really felt the desire to fix the house since my last big project binge in February. Hubby took Bean on a week-long trip, so I redid our master bedroom and completely remodeled the bathroom that week and I was home -improvemented out.
But, these last few weeks I feel agitated and bothered if I'm not making progress. I suppose this is normal!
Save me from pregnancy-driven home projects!

we have a downstairs basement type part of our house where we crammed all our crap when we moved, and we have two spare rooms with next to nothing in them! odd, i know. i am hoping to aquire a couple of nice book cases so then we can unpack all our books, that will make one of our rooms seem less vacant and remove some stuff from downstairs.

I also have a huge urge to wash all the windows -- they haven't been washed since I was PG with DS 4 years ago!
