Good morning, all!
I'm really happy with the progress I've made over the weekend. Having a tool set enabled me to hang a beautifully framed poster that has been propped up against my bedroom wall for a long time now. I hung it over the new dresser I put in my room, switching out the oversized armoire for the smaller, more manageable dresser.
Going through my armoire, I filled an entire huge box with great clothes that I'll never wear again...so off to Goodwill. We also went through the kids clothes (just a start) and sent off 7 large bags of their clothes. Really nice things that someone else can enjoy instead of them sitting around in piles!
My daughter Leah and son Adam, along with his girlfriend CC, helped me to clear out our living room & vacuum and polish the wood floors. What a great feeling that was! I also inherited my parent's beautiful dining room table and chairs and lovely curio cabinet, so I have a lovely dining room today. Thank you, my family! The cabinet is breathtaking and brings back so many wonderful memories. (It was also a very teary weekend fully of nostalgia...lots of changes in our family, more to come on that!)
Then after a few hours of organizing and cleaning, my daughter and I took a mile and 1/2 power walk...yes, I'm sore but it felt great and a really good accomplishment! So is it my imagination or am I feeling lighter and more hopeful today? As we say in our family, "messy bed, messy head." Today my head doesn't feel messy and I have hope that my beautiful space will look the way it deserves to look...and I'll feel and look the way I deserve to! Life is good.

sounds like a great start!! so happy you hung that herb poster. what dresser did you switch out? so glad you did that. i think you should just take down your d.room drapes - i think your room would open right up. also.....what do you think of mr. adam moving side table from the d.room to the hall - remember? i think that would be fab....
ReplyDeleteanyway..good luck with the rest and keep it up - keep us posted and take some photos for us to see!!
Photos, of course! I shoulda known our photog would think of that!
ReplyDeleteHey, I found out that New Haven (visiting our blogs) is me! ahhhhHA!
Yes, this evening is switching out dining room side table to hallway (although that's such a good spot for plants, but it's coming onto the good weather anyway, they can go outside). I put the dresser from Kev's old room in my room, it's quite the downsizing! I advertised my bedroom set on Craig's list, hope I sell it so I can buy a new washer/dryer! xx
