Like my goth clothes.painterjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548428219827991612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-58873013236598735002008-02-04T17:44:00.000-08:002008-02-04T17:44:00.000-08:00I can say with certainty that all your clothes won...I can say with certainty that all your clothes won't fit in the IKEA dresser, because I have the same one. We've played musical dressers around here. I gave the Ikea one to Nathan when Claire came around, and she got his because it matched the crib. Now we use the crib dresser for towels and Claire has a rinky-dinky pink thing we got at Wal-mart. Which was fine for onesies, but doesn't do so well when full of sweaters, footy pajamas and long pants.<BR/><BR/>I was thrilled to get an antique dresser that Dan found, until I got it home and discovered that the drawers don't slide in and out without a LOT of effort. Makes me want to steal back the IKEA, if only it had separate sock and underwear drawers.<BR/><BR/>I like underbed boxes too. I got a bunch of cardboard ones in the laundry aisle at Target and have used them to organize hand-me-downs. Everything got thrown into a labeled box as it was outgrown, and then it was easy to pull things out when Claire was born, or to arrange to give-away through freecycle. And you may also get clothes that are too big, either buying on sale or from people who like to give older clothes as gifts, so the boxes are good for keeping those too.saffryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636228984826585578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-74188193117551871992008-02-03T09:12:00.000-08:002008-02-03T09:12:00.000-08:00Do you have room under your bed for clothes?

I have 3 under the bed boxes (on wheels) for my spring/summer wardrobe as I keep my fall winter warddrobe in the closet.<BR/><BR/>That is not to say that you shouldn't clean out your closet once a year. If you haven't worn something in over a year, toss it. OR if it's something fun and special save it in a "costume bin".AllBeehivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824838944319386646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23037795.post-90865363702676417512008-02-02T12:48:00.000-08:002008-02-02T12:48:00.000-08:00We were so lucky when you came along.

There was even one bedroom left over. This was in the Philippines and you may not remember much of that.<BR/><BR/>Next we went to Italy where you and your sister shared a bedroom when we lived in town. I think you each had your own room when we moved onto the base. <BR/><BR/>Then we lived in Connecticut and you each had your own bedroom there. <BR/><BR/>I guess we were just lucky, except in town in Italy.<BR/><BR/>Yes, you are nesting.<BR/><BR/>OLD DADks1khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368745609103087794noreply@blogger.com
