At the end of last summer we renovated a room for Dag! Ever since we moved out of the flat in the city to stay in the countryside permanently we have been living in a constant renovation state, or rather, the notion of a  we-should-be-renovating  state. Half of our downstairs still consists of a labyrinth of boxes, and while I knew this would be a slow process, it is driving me insane nontetheless. However, slowly but certainly we have managed to get  some things  done:  a year ago we turned what I had referred to as "the renovation hole" into a walk-in closet, and at the end of summer we finally got around fixing Dag a proper room! (Earlier this year we renovated a room for Dag's older brother -the oldest boy has moved away from home to study already- and as late as then we finally also got proper electricity in this room; everything had been with extention chords there forever. We also got electricity to the walk-in closet and some chords and plugs in our bedroom corre

You may know that my love for putting wheels on, or rather: under things, is just about as big as my love for pockets. When we made Dag's room  we put wheels under most of the storage. Easy to move around when playing, building fortresses and creating new secret worlds. He has a bench with boxes filled with toys underneath, that he can roll out when he needs them, to where he wants them. I planned and Eddi made a lego tray to build on, and then push under the bed for when not needed. And also to mimize the amount of hazardous little hard pieces to step onto when spread out on the floor (they still appear there too though...) And I got a couple of transport trolleys from the hardware store to store the bigger toy boxes on. (Yes, half of our house consists of Lego.) I wonder if there is something more that I'd manage to wheel still...
