Hey there! Well today was another successful day in the world of organization. As I mentioned before, I am taking 1 room at a time... after 2 years of things gathering-- it is taking a while to purge all things unnecessary.
Scott went golfing with his dad today, so I cranked up the iHome and went to town. I was in town so much so that I missed 2 calls and 2 text messages. I meant to take a few before pictures, maybe subconsciously I knew that it would be too embarrassing so I just 'forgot'... we'll go with that.
The victory was won at mission 'De-Crapify':
Yes, I love my granny chair- sobeit! I call it that because it was a handme down from my grandparents when they moved. Not gonna lie, most of my house if full of handmedowns, and I love it- for now.
I would love to eventually paint and re-cover the chair above. The tricky part is... I don't have a CLUE even where to start on a project like that. I would love someone to help me with this project... just sayin........... let me know if the Lord presses it on your heart to take this on w/me :)
These MU items are temporarily here... until our MIZZOU room (AKA: the basement) is completed. That is another project that we will get started one of these days.
So in my 'need-to-find-a-home-for-everything-or-throw-it-away' mode today... I came across a craft project I started a few months ago and never finished.
Well, internet, today was the day... IT IS FINISHED! My newly re-purposed picture frame from college became my weekly menu board!
Before and After:
Well, Scott has homework to do tomorrow... so looks like I'll have another afternoon to work on making our house... our home!
Until next time... stay classy, internet.
I'm not saying I could help.... But this is what the chair could be: http://www.rockpaperscissorgraphics.ca/Upload/glider.html
ReplyDeleteThat is super cute! If only I could come even close to being able to make that... lol
Deleteif you need a book for encouragement and practical ideas of this nature, check out Organized Simplicity, you can also buy it for an eReader, I read it in a recent Seminary Wives Class about Time Management (home management, organization, etc.) and found it SO helpful! Looks like great progress made :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion!! I may have to check that out!
DeleteI'm impressed Ray! :) I loooove to deep clean and organize... It seriously improves my mood! Love the idea Jamie posted!
ReplyDeleteI like the organizing part... the deep cleaning is a little anxiety provoking :)
