They also have to pick up things they claim (freecycle is actually how we found the last women's shelter we gave stuff to) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1559397 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:19:51 +0000 MaryM 1559397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's older stuff you'd rather replace in the future anyway, DH and I have had good luck donating house items to women's shelters. They'll often pick things up if they need them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1559357 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 12:06:10 +0000 dagret 1559357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would keep the bed and donate the TV and media stand. When Xander's ready to move to a bed, you could always move him to a queen sized bed with a bedrail instead of converting his crib to the toddler bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558886 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:35:46 +0000 Adira 1558886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: Thanks!!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: It's an OLD CRT TV, so not that nice! Plus we already have an old CRT TV in our basement... probably don't need a second, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558875 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:34:05 +0000 blackbird 1558875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We store stuff in the basement b/c we have the room to....but i'm sure a friend would take it off your hands ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558843 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:29:16 +0000 Smurfette 1558843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Craigslist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558835 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:28:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 1558835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote donate bed but if it's a nice TV keep it, can always put it in kid's play area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558806 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:22:38 +0000 dojo 1558806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I obviously have not been on here lately...CONGRATS!!! </p> <p>I would say keep it if you have the space in the basement. But if you're not particularly attached to any of it you could also try selling it and then just replace later if you end up needing similar items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558800 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:21:50 +0000 Greentea 1558800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would donate it. I don't like having extra stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558797 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:21:16 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1558797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Donate it! Unless you plan on moving in the next year or two, there is no reason to keep it and let it take up space. We have a few local organizations that take these sort of things for families coming out of homelessness. They pick up too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558791 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:19:37 +0000 Dandelion 1558791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd hang onto it. One of your kids could use it in their room in the near future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558784 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:17:15 +0000 Adira 1558784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: There's really not a lot in our basement (because it creeps me out and the spiders live down there), so it definitely has room for storage! I'd love to have it finished one day and have a guest room down there, but not sure if that will ever happen.</p> <p>@tororojo: Yes yes! I'm pregnant!!! :D Thank you!</p> <p>@Mamaof2: That's a good point - I forgot about that, haha. Maybe I should just hold on to it all at least until I know what baby #2 is. If it's a girl, then they probably won't ever share a room, but if it's a boy, they might! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558723 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:03:56 +0000 Mamaof2 1558723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on your other thread - what if you decide to put them together in the same room a year down the road to free up the guest room? Then you will wish you still had it! I would hold on to it for now in the basement just in case..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558711 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:02:21 +0000 tororojo 1558711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably try to get rid of it on FB. Does this mean you are with child?! If so, YAAAAAAY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558703 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:00:38 +0000 snowjewelz 1558703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's in your basement now? I voted basement if you don't have much going on there and maybe the basement can actually become your "guest room" for now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558702 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:00:34 +0000 lavender 1558702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd try selling it, either CL or on FB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558701 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 10:00:16 +0000 Adira 1558701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Oh, selling it! I didn't even think of that!</p> <p>@MrsBrewer: Nope! We're in our forever home, so no more bedrooms in our future!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: Thanks! Maybe I can get my parents to bring their truck and help me get rid of it all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558697 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:59:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1558697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got rid of it all. My parents are going to take the bed and I'm trying to pass the TV onto my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558689 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:58:06 +0000 MrsBrewer 1558689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm....do you plan on moving in the near future to a larger place? (with more bedrooms) That you could possible have a guest room again? If not, I would try and sell it on Craigslist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558686 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:57:45 +0000 cmomma17 1558686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'd sell it. If you needed those items in the future, you could always re-purchase. I'd always rather have the $ than store things personally. But you might have more $ and more storage space than me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-do-with-this-stuff#post-1558685 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 09:56:38 +0000 Adira 1558685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, assuming this baby sticks, and Xander moves into our current guest room, I'm wondering what I should do with the stuff that's in there! Specifically the queen-sized bed &amp; mattress and a media stand with TV. We don't have another bedroom we can put those things in... Would you just get rid of it all? Store some of it in the basement in case we could use it later? Suggestions?? </p>
