Cleaning up for the new year

Found the motivation, energy and ideas to clean up and rearrange the learning space to make it more usable next year.

I learnt a lot about what I need last year:

1. I need much much more space for books
2. I need to be able to SEE the resources I have, that means plastic tubs not blue fabric boxes. If I cannot see it I don't use it.So much resources were wasted last year because I simply forgot I owned them.
3. I need more space for desks. They were too squished in and I had trouble reaching them all to help them.
4. I need a better system for the readers. The kids have no idea how to put books away. I have a plan for these stay tuned (they are all currently in a box on the floor.
5. I will no longer be storing the spare bed in here, sorry kids that will now be stored in your bedroom, there is just not enough room in here when all 5 of us squish in.
6. I need the computer set up in here and not in the external study/sewing room.

And so here is the almost complete room. There is still a big box of things I need to rehome. A pile of empty tubs to find a home for till they are needed. The box of books that need shelving, the workbooks that I need to think of a system for and the mattress since MIL will be coming to stay in a week (I am undecided if I rehome the mattress or find somewhere to store it here. It has been very useful and a lovely spot to nap in the heat.

Newly claimed space this wardrobe was full of cloth nappies. I have heaps I need to re home.

The bottom right blue box is empty, the cardboard box is scrap paper so will eventually be an empty hole too. Yay for spare space.

 My current favourite shelf. These science books have me excited.
