The house transformation!

We have begun the house preparation for baby boy! Although, it feels like we have spent hours working on everything, we have yet to get anything done that is actually for the baby! We decided to completely rearrange the upstairs and move pretty much every room, but the master bedroom!

The fun began with an office cleanout and moving our office to the "nook" in our bedroom. Seems like a fairly easy project....or so we thought.  We aren't the most organized people in the world, yes my house tends to look clean and organized, but open a drawer or closet and you will find the total opposite! (and you might get hurt in the process) We had about 1 year and 1/2 worth of filing, that was never filed, 2 years of scrapbook items, that were never scrapbooked, I even still had my teaching/lesson plan bag completely packed in the office closet (I haven't been teaching for 3 years!!!) We had a lot of stuff to go through and organize in order to fit an entire bedroom and closet into one little nook.  And...we are still working on it! Anyone know a professional organizer cause I could really use one???? 


The new office "nook" (and yes it currently still looks like this)


And this is what my child was doing while all the organizing was taking place! 
We only had a few days to work on this project, we decided to order new furniture for Alissa and use her furniture for the baby.  When I ordered it (didn't want to miss the sale price), I really thought it would take a couple weeks to get here, but about 5 days later, they were delivering it and setting it up in her new room! (which was our office).  We had about 5 days to empty everything out of the room! But we did it (sort of) and my "baby" now has her big girl furniture! :( 


And well as you can see we have a blank slate!  We still have to paint her room, as well as the baby's room, and then touch up the paint in Alissa's old room to transform that into our guest room!!! Ahhh! 


Oh yes, the baby's room.... He will be in our old guest room and here is what that looks like right now....



What you can't see in the picture is the entire twin bed along the wall, 3 tv's, and a floor filled with stuff!

Any decorators, organizers, moms, dads with any advice for this craziness??? We pay with beer, wine, and food! :)
