VERY IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE!!! LOL!!! There is NOTHING pretty about these pictures!!! Just the ugly truth! LOL
Now, the story..... I had a thought the other night....See since moving and rearranging the front gathering room after the Holiday's last year, I was never happy with it... Since then, I have had hubby move a couple things around... But I have struggled with this room....UNTIL... LOL... I had a thought... I am a visual person, I need to see things done in my head... and like a light bulb, I had a vision of what needed to be done!!!!
So, I thought it over in my head for a day, waited until Friday when Hubby was off and on our walk with Knuckle's..... I turned to him and said " I have a thought"!!!! LOL... His response, "OH NO!!"...Because it usually means one of two things... moving furniture, or I want to buy something...
Lucky for him, this time, just moving things around...sigh...
See I have struggled with this corner table... I have talked about it in the past. Hubby loves it! It was the first major purchase we made together as a married couple...It's a made in a America piece before the company went under called Bennington Pine... He WON'T let me paint it.... ugh... struggle, it's hard to work with....
Now... did I take a picture before we started moving things around, well that would of been the smart thing...
So I found this picture I took awhile back when I was torturing the "Queen" with her crow....nice piece... really not my style anymore, BUT, hubby doesn't ask for much, and boy I sure have moved A LOT of furniture out over the years for more of a prim look, so it has to stay.....
So I get him to agree to try my thought.... I was never happy with were we moved the farm table in the front gathering room... I have moved it 2xs since the Holidays...sigh.....I want it back under the big picture window. Always like it there best....
NOW... the ugly truth.. I moved much slower these days because of that stupid back... so it will take all week to fix this up....
But out comes the corner end table... it's going down stairs...Few prims are leaving the homestead all together... Lucky day for my GF Cindy, she has been "gifted" with one of them...
So on and off all day, as the back allows... I moved, played a wee bit... called hubby for more help... washed the windows and polished the wood floors...Spring cleaning in August!
So this is where I am at today... Bit of a mess to still move around... and thin through too... See I have been in a bit of a funk... don't know what direction I want to go with the reselling of Antique smalls... sigh... I have such a stock pile of goodies in this room & the garage... I am feeling overwhelmed a bit... and I want to thin just a WEE bit of my collections to my faves... NOT everything... I personally no matter how I try, like the bit of cluttered look...sigh.. LOVE, every one's simple prim looks... Just can't do it... or I do, and revert right back... so it's just my look....and when I love everything I have collected over the years, truly what do I part with? NOTHING!
So what has been "gifted" to Cindy??? This big old butter churn....sigh, BUT yet truly it's a pain in the ass! YUP said it... to display with... The "queen" DUMPED this on me a couple of years ago... I know what she said behind my back, because she says it to me too...LOL... YOU'RE SO STUPID!!! LOL... got me to take it... It's BIG, BULKY, Legs on the stand stick out...hubby has kicked them SEVERAL times... image those words! He has been on me to part with it... It really only works if you have a bigger home and bigger rooms, either of which I have.... Cindy stored this for me while we did all the construction/ remodel couple of years ago... She didn't want to give it back, I stupidly wanted it back.... so anyway, to make it all work, it is going to her, now her problem!!! LOL... Now, I am saying with the most affection, She's so stupid! LOL
Then, my little child's wood school desk will leave... so I was able to stack my old boxes...
Still needs cleaning and "tweaking" ...I would love to sell the baker's cabinet and get a step back.. BUT, I bought this from another GF, her dad had refinished it....don't know what to do...sigh... AND yes, I am bringing out some pumpkins while I am doing this, I just don't care anymore..... I don't feel I am rushing summer, just giving myself more time to enjoy what I love best.... No Halloween.... just some fall colors and pumpkins... Finished pictures.. to come later... So now you ask, where did the table move too? Do you even care???
In between the big couch and my chair... Knuckle's even got caught playing with one of his toys...LOL... see his tail in motion....
So the bottom line, even in the mess, I am thrilled with how it is all taking shape!!! I can visualize how the Christmas tree will look in a couple of months without too much moving of furniture... YUP, I said it and yes, I had been thinking about it....planning ahead...See my stupid brain never shuts off! sigh
So I need to get this all cleaned up, I have a early works update I need to finish up for next week too! Enjoy your Sunday! OLM
