Happy New Year! I had to take a little blogging break to clean up my house. The new project officially started yesterday and had to get Christmas packed up. I did pretty good, but we still had to put the big tree away yesterday. It was dismantled just not in the basement! Then we had to move the furniture out. Some got squeezed in other rooms - most of it went to a storage unit. Today began the demolition phase. DH knows how I hate this part so he suggested I go shopping for a while! When I left the dining room looked like this:
When I came home it looked like this:
I'm not very good at keeping New Year's resolutions so I make them pretty general. Maybe I will be more accountable if I post them!
1. Read more.
2. Declutter and organize and purge.
3.Maintain weight (within 3 pounds up or down).
4. Intercept pug mail advertisements before DH sees them. (See flag in top picture!)
For #2 -I purchased and installed a neat little gadget today in my closet. It is made to hook on doors but it was not long enough to hook on the shelf I had in mind so I borrowed the drill and went to town.
My closet needs some work. Tons of clothes that don't fit or are very old need to be purged -ignore them. DH built me this closet out of the corner of the master bedroom that was in the worst shape. At one time there was a wood burning stove in a rock landing. The stove had been removed before we bought the house leaving a hole in the roof. The day we moved in the rock wall was a waterfall! Now I call it my throne!
