Ohhh the shame!!


Are you embarrassed for me?? I know!!! So now it's out.  One of my secrets, which isn't really a secret if you've been to my house and asked for the tour and then gotten to the back hallway and I prefaced opening the door with , "and this is our second garage."

In my defense, we moved into this house with three week old tiny baby twins and this huge room just became the place where things I didn't feel like dealing with went to die.  Then, that purpose just stuck and the piles grew and grew and now here we are.  A room full of stuff that for the most part hasn't been used in over a year.

So what's the plan??? Wellllllllll....here's what I'm thinking.  Start dealing with things one category at a time.  I know there are lots of mirrors and frames and pictures that go on the wall in there.  So first, I'll pull out all things that hang and make some decisions...sell, giveaway, keep.  Then I'll move onto baby stuff, then to teacher stuff, then to "Josh's" stuff.  It's a lot ya'll....it makes my stomach feel wrong, wrong, wrong, BUT....I have a little less than a month.  I'm not attempting this in one weekend.  I'm giving it a month.  DO-ABLLLLEEE ...anyone???

Are you wondering why the walls are blue?  Me too! I have no idea why we didn't have this room painted like we had every other room in the house when we moved in.  Big Mistake!  I guess now may be our chance.  I'm so pumped about this space opening up.  Crafty, office, guest room on the way!

What do you think of my plan?  Please offer up any suggestions you have to make this easier!

I mean it doesn't look that bad... I can't wait to see the finished room! Good luck with that. You have your work cut out for you.

Do you like your Oreck vacuum? Are they worth the money? Just curious. (See, that's what I take away from that picture.)
