Prairie Furniture

~SITTING PRETTY~

Hubs and I continue to move furniture around.

THANKFUL to see some progress.

Have a long ways to go
and my muscles aren't getting any stronger.

Two splinters later,
(which hurts by the way)
the HOUSE is screaming for attention.

Sure hoping by CHRISTMAS 

that the Guest ROOM has a new mattress/box springs.  

Husband's Grandparents 3 piece 1920ish Bedroom Suite were placed in Guest room, 
but first this room had to be cleared out.  

Please keep in mind that large pieces of furniture that have to go upstairs are a challenge.  
 Daughter helped!

Decided where all the pieces would go.  

What I call the Antique Golden Oak Bed has been moved 

into a different room along with the PRINCESS VANITY.
AND this room had to be cleared out as well.  sigh.
Bed is now set up.
 

~PRINCESS VANITY~

Emptied the Victorian Oak Book Case (which had some of my porcelain dolls in it) before it made the way back downstairs.  This took a major effort to safely relocate to the FAMILY ROOM without breaking glass, injuring the piece or injuring us as we moved the piece down the stairs.  

Said a prayer.  

Got stuck in the stairwell at one point 

and sweat like it was going out of style.
Kept asking, "How did we ever get this piece upstairs in the first place?"

Glass front door, upper decorative trim and base trim all had to come off the piece as well the family pictures off the picture wall gallery and the handrail came down.

We just couldn't make the turn on the L-shaped stairwell.
Finally became a genius and away we went.
As I was polishing her with Old English, 
my finger snagged a splinter and I went, OUCH!!" 

Sewing machine will have to find a new home.

The computer as well.

~WARDROBE~

Hubby moved the Wardrobe from one place to another where this tall piece has stood before.  Poor baby has been walked and slid more times than I can count.

My Grandma's Sideboard that was in one of the upstairs bedrooms was returned to the Dining room.  Down the stairs she went.  This piece was full of paperwork and now after Hubby rebuilt the bottom of this piece holds older dishes.  gulp.

I have to relocate my dolls that were in the Bookcase and move them to the Parlour Curio Cabinets.  These cabinets will have to have the crystal and glass items taken out of them and placed in a corner cabinet that has china in it that will have to be boxed until the Kitchen upper cabinets are created and installed.  

One thing definitely leads to another.  It is like moving all over   again.  Feels like it as I look at the messes that have to be dealt with.  

Not complaining….it does help me to sort out our plans when typing what needs to be done and what has been done.  

Tomorrow, I hope to get the Nativity Scene out to display for this Blessed CHRISTMAS Season.  Moving the Grands' pics off of the little Parlour Desk to go in the Bookcase.  Less dusting of little pictures.  That's a plus.  

I think that's nine pieces of furniture that were moved around, 
not to mention the PINK camel back sofa that has to be relocated to the Master Bedroom.  Get rested up before we attempt this.

I believe that if we get to the place where we can say, 
"We're settled."  
that I will be breathing better and sleeping better.  
It should make a difference.  

My HOBBY this coming year will be GETTING THE HOUSEHOLD IN ORDER and DOWNSIZED.  

It will be a miracle when completed.  

A MIRACLE. 

PRAYING TO MAKE IT.

That saying that everytime you hear a bell ring, an angel gets wings... may have to be edited to every time you hear wind chimes ring a tune, say a prayer for energy so you can get fired up to organize and tidy before the snow blows and company comes for a visit.

My poor 'ole computer has been relocated to YET another location, but this time I can hear the wind chimes making a tune on this windy day.
Think I'll grab a cup of java and dream a while before going to school to pick Junior Miss up for the day.

My tooth hurts as I have returned from the dentist completing a root canal.  Hubby had his teeth cleaned, so after his appointment we went for LUNCH and enjoyed our meal together as I could half way smile.  Face still deadened.  I looked at our dental bill and had to remind myself that I wanted the dentist to save my cracked tooth if he could.  I am THANKFUL we have DENTISTS 
and the Dentist have nitrous.

Blessings to you!
Let the CHRISTMAS DECORATING begin,
