inulrotrying to figure out how to get everything out of my computer room so I can spruce it up. I need to strip the wallpaper and paint, which I could in theory do in portions, but then I I will be having the floor done, for which the room will need to be empty, so I might as well do it all at once.
Logic dictates that this house isn't big enough to empty out a whole room. I suspect that the key lies in chucking out the desk (wobbly & on its last legs anyway) and storing my computer under the dining room table for a while & making do with my laptop.
This is all brought on by the fact that I have found someone I trust to do the floor (co-worker's husband) and it makes more sense to do the walls first. Apparently he's quite busy at the moment so I have no idea of timescales, but I also have no idea how long it's going to take to do the walls - if the plaster's really awful I'll have to get someone in to hang more paper before I can paint.
When that's done I'll be wanting to turn one of the alcoves into a proper floor-to-ceiling closet so that I can store 3 x as much stuff in that area & look tidier as well.
I'd post before and after pix but it's too embarrassingly awful for public consumption as it is.
