3 years ago My Moga came to live with us. She came to watch my kiddos while I sewed. She decided in March of 08 that she wasn't going to make it through another Vegas summer and we took her home.
She and I built a room in my rather large formal living room to give her a space to stay in. After she went home the wall remained.
When she came to live with us she was going to stay until George went to Kindergarten. As you all know that happened last August. I've wanted my enormous living room back for the last 2 years, ElCid has put it off knowing full well I can't do it by myself. Since last August I've made an even bigger push to take down the room using the excuse - if Moga had stayed the entire time then it would still be time to take it down!

Before the wall went up
After the wall
Yesterday I finally won! I'm not sure how or why but after spending several weeks cleaning and rearranging our bedroom so I could find a space for his computer to have we tore down the wall. In true Valinda style I didn't think about before or after photos until I was too involved in the project to quit.
It was an all day adventure and I still have to finish putting things back today but it's back to how it was in 07!!! Who knew going backwards 3 years could be such a great way to start the new year!

Yah!!!! Doesn't it feel so good to DEclutter!!!! I bet you'll go to bed and wake up happier now.
Congratulations! Yay! Sorry that ElCid had to give up his computer/office space, but I'm sure it will be nice having your original living room back.
I will miss the little space to keep my luggage in ;-}
Congratulations on living room space!
Where DID you end up finding space for his computer?
Happy Birthday kisses to ElCid!!!
