Playroom aka Swe-cha's Bedroom

This season's project is setting up the playroom aka Swe-cha's bedroom. 

We've actually gotten a late start because we started talking about this October / November last year and were targeting to buy the shelves by December but I changed my mind about the shelves and here we are.

I am happy with my choice though. We had planned on setting up a row of Billy bookshelves (Ikea) along one wall, I changed my mind and we ordered a row of Kallax shelves instead. I like the the kallax have a bigger depth and would be more stable, even without the wall clamps - we did set them up horizontally so they sit low (no plans on putting heavy stuff on the upper shelves). 

We've been cleaning and sorting the last few weekends, it has not been easy because since we moved in 8 yrs ago, this room has become a dumping ground of anything and everything unused that didn't fit in the basement.  I.e. plenty of unopened moving boxes and plastic crates of miscellaneous stuff that still need to be sorted.

It also was a playroom and we pretty much left it up to Swe-cha and toys are just strewn all over the floor, as if the Tazmanian devil has just been there. 

So far, we've down the following:

- clean up the right side of the room, sort loose items into 3 bins: trash, keep, donate. Anything boxed just gets piled up on the left side for sorting later on.

- When cleared, we sealed with 2 attic doors (storage areas) with insulation film to prevent heat / cold from coming through. 

- Assemble 3 Kallax (Ikea) shelves

- Start sorting toys into individual container bins. 

We've only just started sorting and we have yet to uncover the tip of the iceberg. Let's see how this goes. Swe-cha keeps bugging us to install his bed and we said "September" just to get him to stop nagging. I do hope we get to it before September. 

His bed will be installed last, after everything has has been put into order.
