Not Before and After. Before and During

I've gotten a good start on the office clear-out this weekend, spurred by the bookcase acquisition. Three of the four bookcases are in the room, if not in their final positions, and a fair bit of the clutter has gone out, as well. Lots of "why do I have this?" being thrown out, donated, or recycled, depending.

In the spirit of full disclosure, here are some Before photos, showing just what a mess it was. Looking in from the kitchen:

Better view of the clutter to the right.

And ahead to the left.

Back toward the door, not quite as bad.

Then, not After, but During: having moved the yarn bookcases over where the random box pile was, making room for new bookcases.

Have to sort through what's in those boxes, though I've made a good start.

The bookcase on the left of this photo needs to be thoroughly sorted through. Then it can be moved, and two of the new bookcases stacked there.

Belmont inspects one of the new cases.

A couple of the inserts he gave me have mirrors, and I put them in the unit still in the living room for the time being. Belmont could clearly tell that there was a room in there, but couldn't figure out how to get into it.

She isn't quite sure what to make of all this change. Me too, cat, me too.
