Progress

This is by far the best looking area of the room

and

I am still going to take that shelf down and paint it.

But,

there is progress.

 

 

Friday morning

I started painting

and

the room is painted

and started to put back together.

Walls, ceiling

and

closet turned alcove.

And even these received a makeover.

Here is the blue one

turned gray

and

the closet turned alcove.

Still looking for more of those baskets

on the shelf above.

JWS actually picked those out for me

yesterday.

Didn't he do a great job?

And the rest of the room.

That picture on my sewing machine desk

is going to be redone.

And the curtains?

 

This material is headed for

sunny Florida

today

to be made into curtains!

My sister makes wonderful curtains

and

has agreed to do that for me!

 

Shawnee drew this for me when she was in high school.

This morning the frame will get a coat of paint

and the colors are perfect!

And of course,

the

before pics.

It was pretty bad.

Dated

Messy

and the
Closet!

It did have doors on it,

but how brave

am I showing it to you?

 

Disaster.

Now,

all of that and more is dumped

into my other two bedrooms

to be

sorted,

pitched,

donated,

organized.

Still deciding on this wall.

My ironing board has to go in there yet

and

yikes!

Another sewing machine.

 

This room is way smaller than the one I had before.

Hopefully,

that tames the hoarder in me!

 

And of course,

a resolution broken.

 

I was not going to buy any yarn

until I used up the stash.

Then my sister mentioned that she would like an afghan.

 

So much for that resolution! 

 

Cozy project for cold nights though.

Cold does not begin to describe what is coming tonight and tomorrow.

 

Sure makes one thankful for mowing season!

 

I would rather mow than shovel!
