The List

I think because I am so ready for Spring, I am chomping at the bit to get some projects tackled around here.  I am sort of in the slow process of redecorating my downstairs and I am trying to figure out how to go about getting stuff done.  I have a few "big" things that I'd love to do, but with the price tag that comes with them, they are on the back burner.  I have been looking for some decorative nicknack's on Etsy and Goodwill.  I found a cute set of little bunnies that I purchased from Goodwill for 80 cents.  I bought two little vintage embroidered doilies off Etsy.  I did find a new light at Lowes that was a little more than what I wanted to spend, but I love it!

I also found a Goodwill an adorable side table that I brought home and cleaned up.  It is getting a fresh coat of paint as soon as I figure out what color to choose.  I am thinking a light grey/blue color since the chair has that accent color in it.  I am so excited about it.  The total price should be under $20 including the paint.  I have an old light in storage in the basement that I have decided to use again.  I am switching it out in the kitchen, but first I am going to paint it as well.  I think it will look darling.  I can't wait until the weather warms up so I can get to some of these painting projects that are lining up.

I am finally getting around to sorting for the upcoming garage sale in June.  Our neighborhood has a huge sale every year and this year I am putting everything out there! Well, nearly everything.  I have so much "stuff" in the basement that is just sitting in boxes, tubs and stacks that is just a nightmare.  I can't stand looking at it anymore.  If I have not used it in a year, it is going in the sale.  I hope to get rid of many, many things.  Whatever I don't sell is getting donated to Salvation Army or some other charity.  I'll tax the nice tax deduction for sure.

I can't wait to be rid of this clutter stress and baggage!  I feel like it brings me so much stress and anxiety knowing it is lurking in the house just collecting more dust and being useless.  It is time to purge, purge, purge.  I have been working on this concept on so many levels in my life.  I feel like I fail every day and don't live up to my goals, but I still keep trying.  I've got to get there.  I will get there.
