Update: Living Room

Well the Living Room is currently in shambles. Mainly due to what I've done in there since yesterday.

1: Cleared of the Dining Room table

2: Folded 5 total baskets of laundry (or just added the ironing stuff to the ironing basket to do later...)

3: Taken the two suitcases seen in the photo by the workbench upstairs to the storage are in the North closet.

4: Taken a small table out of said closet so Mom can remove the round table from her sewing room and have a little more space in there.

5: Helped Mom take down the old table and generally help out in getting her sewing room a bit neater.

6: Dismantled the workbench and taken it downstairs to the storage area in the furnace room. Dad helped with this one, as it was his idea.

His idea also includes putting the round table into the corner where the workbench was, but I've vetoed that. Not that I don't want that kind of table in the Living Room; far from it. I want to move the piano there, though. Then, I can get the bookshelves out from behind the papasan chair and the gliding rocker (so we can actually get to them), put those in the corner where the piano is, and put the table in the corner by the bookshelves. The little tables can then go between the rocker and the papasan chairs, and hopefully this will make it so we have a bit more space in there and a better layout in general.

The down side of this is that Mom is currently at work, and we cannot move the piano without her help. Yes, it does have legs, and yes, the legs do have wheels, however the legs are just there to support it. If you try to move the piano by pushing it, instead of picking it up a little, the legs can collapse and then you have a piano on the floor, which to my way of thinking sounds like a royal pain in the butt.

I've started getting the things from those areas moved, though, so that way when she gets home we can move it right away. :) Things are going well, so far.
