It all started with a set a shelves in the shed, then a set in the carport...did I indicate singular?! Oh no...loved those shelves in the carport sooo much and had wood from the crate left over...so...I made another set! They are flippin AWESOME!!!! They would not win any beauty contest or be featured in Wood Working Magazine, but they are all mine and they are holding my stuff. Floor to ceiling organization in 3, count them 3 much needed areas.
Now the hard part begins...
We only have 1,323 sf in our place so it is time for the creative organizational shuffle to begin...Now that there is room in the carport, I will move stuff from the shed to the carport...then I will move stuff from various areas of the house to the shed. Then I will attack the IKEA pantry I built in the laundry room and tackle the walk-in craft closet...THEN and only then will I head upstairs to the bedrooms. Of course, the token trip to drop off at the local thrift store will occur as well....actually loaded up my little CRV and drop off about 7 bags/boxes of stuff yesterday!
After all this is done I am going to redo the kitchen chairs. Our 14 month four legged old monster decided that when he was just a babe that it would be fun to chew the front part of the fabric and all of the corners off of all 6 dining room chairs/cushions. Went to Home Fabrics yesterday (to the location they are closing) and grabbed about $300 worth of 2 fantastic fabrics...one has a tapestry look and feel ($7.50/yd) and the other is a chenile with a bit of a rectangle print ($2.50/yd!!!!!) got 10 total yards for $50 bucks!!! I am going to be able to redo 6 chairs, 2 barstools (got the goods, might as well do it) 4 large toss pillows and 2 small toss pillows...we have an open floor plan and it would be nice to coordinate some fabric colors. Just have to go buy a boat-load of staples for chairs and get the timing fix on my heavier duty sweing machine.
I am going to get this place together...I am!
