Can Anyone Help A Sista Out?

I am on the lookout for a child's table and some chairs. I went to Roundtop/Warrenton yesterday and scoured the vendors but didn't find quite what I was looking for. So I thought I'd ask yall for help. If anyone has a child's table they don't want/need anymore..or if you are out at a garage sale and you see one..call me! I really don't want to pay the price for a brand new one..they are pricey! I would prefer rectangle or square because of the space I have to put it in. I don't have to have a set with matching chairs...but I am looking for chairs as well. I made the mistake of not buying the $20 chairs I saw at Roundtop bc I thought I could find them cheaper online. That was NOT the case. So anyways...help me! Keep your eyes open. I would appreciate it!!

HELP!

Many of you know that I'm obsessed with organizing. I love cute containers, labels, folders, files, etc. Anything that organizes a space..you name it, I love it! I can't walk into Target without walking down the organization aisles. I didn't register for a lot of baby items since we're having another boy, but did need a few essentials. As I was milling the aisles with that cool scanner , I "stumbled" across an aisle of storage containers. I think I clicked just about every one! And they have cool green and blue lids!

However, I'm having such a hard time deciding what to do with Carson's room. His room right now is a multi-purpose room. When we bought our house it was a 2 bedroom and we converted the garage to make it 3. See here for pics. (Wow, I didn't realize how clean my house used to be before we had a child!) So, the room that will be Carson's room has the washer and dryer in a closet, my desk, and HAD a guest bed but we took it out. Currently it has garage sale stuff piled in it plus a bunch of toys that Brody plays with while I'm working on the computer. And the closet is full of coats, board games, craft supplies, etc. This room also has an exterior door that leads to our backyard and driveway. So see, it serves MANY purposes. Here are some photos from today.My desk area..its a disaster right now.

So as you can see, I have a huge project in front of me. All the stuff piled along the wall will be gone next weekend after Kristin and I have a garage sale. However, what do I do with the closet? Can I fit a crib and small chest of drawers in here? What about the desk? Should I keep it in the room? I have to have my computer and client files somewhere. I MIGHT have an idea where the computer could be safely tucked away, but it would mean giving up my desk that I love. Normally I'm good at this type of project! But for some reason I can't visualize this one.

So people...any ideas you have would be much appreciated! I'm 27 weeks right now..and Carson will probably come a couple weeks early. So I hopefully have anywhere from 10-13 weeks to figure this all out, empty out this room and get organized. But that time will fly by! Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
