We have a file cabinet in the bedroom with old files(tax returns, house documents, etc.) and a file cabinet in the spare room/hubs library/oldest son's ex-bedroom with currentx year files. I keep bills to be paid on my computer desk which is in the den since this is where I sit when I pay bills. After being paid, the bills go upstairs and get filed. Even tho it's spread out all over it works for us.

We've toyed around with actually making it an official play room, or moving the play room downstairs & reclaiming this room as the living room. So far, we're undecided. :-) Our kids are just on the edge of being able to play downstairs in our basement, so maybe then we'll switch things around.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-11675141769496620112011-12-07T10:53:30.472-05:002011-12-07T10:53:30.472-05:00@Kim - yes, a little each day.

Someday.<br /><br />@Michelle - so your dining room is the laundry room! Or fancy it up and make it the Dressing room. ;)<br /><br />@Jadell - I think I was trying to have my "office" in the kitchen, and it just didn't work since my computer wasn't there. Like you said, you do what works for you. At least you eat in your dining room, and not in your living room!<br /><br />@Tanner - the dining room in my parents house is where dust bunnies go to die as well.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-35989315708483871262011-12-07T10:43:35.243-05:002011-12-07T10:43:35.243-05:00Right now the spare bedroom/bath which is torn up ...Right now the spare bedroom/bath which is torn up but working on it a little everyday.

It's the natural preserve area for dust bunnies. At work, we have an extra upstairs bathroom (full bathroom) which is our supply storage closet.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-84366713777954761062011-12-07T10:17:41.139-05:002011-12-07T10:17:41.139-05:00our eat in kitchen area is our home office and our...our eat in kitchen area is our home office and our "formal" dining area is our everyday dining area. You have to make the home you live in work for you and your family. No reason to fight it. I LOVE our home office right in the kitchen--super convenient. Other people probably think it's weird, but I don't worry about them. I worry about what works for us.
