House Work Gets in the Way!

HA!  I just thought I was going to work on some crafts yesterday, but the house work got in the way.  However, I feel really good about my kitchen!  I actually made some progress in there.  My plan is to get rid of everything I really don't want, use or need.  Lately I've been noticing how many bags enter into our house.  I would really love to see just as many or more bags of items leave!

This is our organizing station.  For some reason, the hubby's tools seemed to be overtaking this station, so I gave him more room.  The cookbooks were in the middle bins, so I moved them up and gave him the three middle bins for tools, flashlights and whatever else he needs to keep this mansion running.  He also has one basket for gloves and protective gear.  The other one is for paperwork that seems to float around the room.  I transferred all to the filing cabinet finally!  Now we have a place to throw all those loose papers that we are not ready to get rid of...you know, important stuff.

I've been working on this old kitchen lately.  The latest (best) thing I've done is repaint it blue.  It was a buttery yellow for about 15 years.  It's amazing what a difference a color can make!  The blue is very refreshing and actually makes me feel happier.  My hubby took the little chandelier down and reworked it for me.  I actually think he had fun with it!  It had a glass and wooden frame around the lights and looked so 1990's!  With one can of spray paint, it looks brand new!  I love how it looks with the new lettering we put up on the same day.

Well, today I'm off to the Magnolia Festival in Durant.  I'm going to see Shell's Vintage Charm, a motivation for me!  I went to school with Shelly and her husband Frankie!  I just love what she's doing with her crafts, blog and website!   She works full time like me and still finds the time to do what she loves.  She makes my dreams seem doable!  Hope she's having a great weekend!  I think they have been set up since Thursday evening and won't be taking things down until Sunday afternoon!  

Maybe this afternoon, I'll get started.  I think I'm a slow starter!
