SpRiNg

At Home. Come on in. Got some good news? Won't you share with me how you are?

Still cleaning...made great headway this week-end, but have a ways to go. My Hubby is a huge helper. Huge. I sure need his help.

The spare room has become My ClOsEt and StOrAgE for a little of this and a little of that. I should be praising God that we have this room to use! Eventually this room will return to a actual bedroom with antique oak furniture. The furniture is partially in storage, partialy in this room and that. I know where the pieces of furniture will go once we get that far!!!

Oh Happy Day when it gets that way. The present bathroom will return to a closet and a bedroom into a new old fashioned bathroom. After this happens, the spareroom will be decorated and be a bedroom again. O momma...this will be awesome.

This has been a tough challenge for me. As our house morphs into something different than it is...I have to pray, shed some tears, blogggggg, search decorating magazines, pop some vitamins and sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Redoing a house isn't something new to me, but this assignment here in this old rock house has had challenges like never before.

At a snails pace we are going through

the spare room STUFF. We were successful at

getting the extra stuff out of the room, but will take some muscle sorting through all of it.

I went through my clothing that hangs on racks and put into color families. Like it! Hubby repaired the clothing rod that's in the actual bedroom closet. His clothing hangs in this small closet. Went through his clothing. This helps me take inventory of his clothing and knowing what needs replaced. He has his casual clothing, casual work clothes and dressier things. Looks like he needs some more crisp white shirts and some newer slacks. His shoes need to find their way back into the bottom of the closet.

Tomorrow I will be relocating blankets and sheets from the spare room. I will be unloading video

tapes and movies from the downstairs wardrobe and using this piece

of furniture to hold bedding. The video tapes will go into storage boxes for now. Have plans for my dolls that are in vinyl boxes. Poor babies...some of these dolls have been in boxes for three years. Can't hardly believe it.

It's almost like moving again shuffling things and finding different places to hold order. So, it's kind of like musical chairs figuring where to put this and that until things are placed elsewhere.

We've got a plan and it's the waiting for it all to happen that is a struggle. Yuck.

Until it's finished...I need a staff to order

around to do this and that and that again.

Not gonna happen...sniff sniff. I izz the maid!

As we morph into a finished product...I hope I can post some pictures that show the progress. Until that happens...I hope to stay strong and productive. Monday, I will be doing paperwork and babysitting little Junior Miss.

She's growing and I think it's alright to go from calling her toddler to calling her lil Junior Miss. She's like sunshine. Grandchildren are bright spots in my life.

Not to bore you all with spring cleaning, but it helps me stay focus talking about it. Hope you have some tips to enlighten me with.

Love you all and wish I were done with this SpRiNg ClEaNiNg. Can you believe it, Spring is coming this week! Let it happen.
