I have been cleaning house and decluttering a bit. With my oldest married now, there is no reason to save her room as a bedroom when I soooo need the space for my office for work and all my non-profit volunteer stuff. SO, she won't know what hit this place if she ever comes home again! LOL Hugs, Lea
