Altered Dinty Moore Can

White Wednesday in Storage

if any of you read my blog, then you know I had a Messy situation going on

in My Little Place.....

(earlier post confirms with photos)

I have been diligently working to Clean & Clear My Mess

{which to my defense is because all of the Treasures I

have brought home from "The Messy House" I have been clearing out!}

This is the point where My Storage Room is Now...

Still more to do.... but Much - Much Better!

I actually took every single thing out of this small room, which is off the living room,

so for 2 days, my living room had No Living going on in it, you could not move....

My Grands Hand Prints & a Cross I given when I was a little girl

an Altered Cabinet on Etsy & just a bunch of silks

stuck in a vase....

an old milk glass punch bowl

metal enameled

enameled which I store my Bees Wax

a stack of wall stuff that I need to hang on Storage

room walls

(too late to be hammering nails - I have downstairs neighbors)

far corner is Black Bags of packing peanuts

and all my actual storage & priority boxes

Calling it a night....

Make sure you stop by Kathleen's at Faded Charm for all the other

White Wednesday Participants

I bet they will have more for you than a silly old Storage Room.....

PS..... I'm still grounded, but will be back the end of the week, with more

Cleaned Up Photos !

I'm Grounded ! ! !

From the Computer

Until, I get a Handle on

This Mess ~

Update:

Still Grounded Here, but making a big dent in the Mess ~ it is starting to look better....

I have moved several pieces of furniture, including my old sewing machine that

had been located in my bedroom, it is now in the front room, which will give me

alot more working room ~

Now back to Cleaning.....

I have given myself a deadline, Tuesday Night, my place has to be Photo ready

so look for the After pics With White Wednesday.....

{had to extend the date, my daughter brought me 6 bins full of stuff to add to my mess today}

I am Grounding Myself from the Computer

No More Excuses

There comes a time, when we must take Drastic Measures to get where We Need to be. . .

if you follow or read my blog, you know I have for the past few weeks been Clearing out over at "The Messy House"

Each day, I worked very hard & was Exhausted at the end of each day,

rightly so, since I was doing a lot of physical labor ~

[click here to visit "The Messy House" Post]

I have really EnJoyed doing this, [not the mess or the mice] but the uncovering of

some fun Treasures

Now the Problem happens, when I was Too Tired each evening to Maintain My Home during this period....

to add Fuel to the Fire, I brought in Treasures from the Messy House, which = STUFF

Lots of Stuff, Box after Box of Stuff......

as you look at the photos from my previous post, you could see, there is alot

of wonderful Vintage, Creative, Stuff ~ Then Why,should I be complaining.....

These next photos tell the Story....

look what My Sweet Little Home has turned into

(these blurry pictures are Not for the Weak of Heart~ I am having a hard time looking & I'm living in this Mess)

So, Until I get a Handle on all this, some Organizing, start listing & selling some to reduce the Stuff,

I will be taking a short break from Blogging.....

I sure hope this Self Imposed Grounding, will be a Quick one ~

Because, I really go into Blogging Withdrawal after a very short period of time.....

Be Back Soon

Please keep your fingers crossed ~ this is Not going to be easy

* * * * * * * * * *

this just 2 weeks ago was my cleared off work table

The iron is no longer in it's place ~ the heater can't go back in it's place

& stuff in piles

My Storage - Supply room

bags full of Stuff just thrown in

so I would have room to walk in the rest of the place

Boxes & Bins of Fun Vintage Stuff

but what goode will they be, if this is the mess

they are left in.....

Off to Clean

Hope to See You All Soon

A Peek at more Treasures.....

I have been working hard to clear out

"The Messy House"

only 1 room left to do.....

Here are some of the Many Bins, I have brought Home

Problem is, My Place is Very Small ~ What the Heck am I going to Do

With All this Stuff

I Already had a Ton of "Stuff "

Now I have
More.....

I'm beginning to Lovingly think of My little place

as the "Messy Place Minus the Mice"

I guess I need to figure out Which Treasures I'm Keepin

&

what I will be giving up by listing on Etsy & eBay
