Burning Down The House

The main emphasis in rearranging my apartment is to make more room. I don't have much space - but I do have quite a bit of stuff taking up space. So the first step is going through this junk and throwing out the things I don't need. I put a bunch of junk out with the trash last night and there's more to come.

The second step is making better use of the space I have. The big ugly entertainment center that takes up one whole wall will have to be dismantled (so it can taken out the door) and replaced with something(s) that don't quite dominate the room as much. Trouble is, that entertainment center holds a lot of things - TV, DVD player, books, CDs, DVDs, tools - all of which will need to find another place to live. This, of course, will be the tricky part. Made even more trickier by the fact that I need to do it in one fell swoop. The thought of getting rid of the entertainment center and then leaving it's contents strewn about the apartment is more than I can handle - I don't have enough room for chaos. No, I have a replacement ready and waiting to go in right away.

For the moment I'll have to be content with getting rid of stuff. Then one weekend...bing bang boom - out with the old, in with the new.
