Yup, this house needs the care of what I'm going to call the
3 C's
So, carefully thought out, somewhat overwhelming, but entirely doable
:
Cleaning - this is not a big house, but it is bigger than I can keep up with. Or, maybe it's just the kiddos, the hubbie, the dog and not the house? So, feeling that clean-everything-out desire so many of us get right after the Christmas decor is lovingly packed away, I decided to come up with a system to
Curtaining - it's like going to the ball without the jewelry. The rooms aren't quite dressed without fabric gracing the windows. Did I mention that I have an excuse? We had the windows replaced ...ughem... a year ago and I haven't had the
Closeting - started, but not nearly completed in 2011. Instead, just enough is done to make me want it DONE! Our home has very little closet space in the tiny bedrooms. So last year I improvised and put an entire wall of the master bedroom to use by hanging a closet system. Yup, sireee, I hung it all by my selfie, I did.
That was work. And, I don't even have a finished picture to show for it - bah! But it has sure been worth it! Just four more to go: now for the other bedroom closets, the remaining actual master bedroom closet and the new guest room closet (this one will be special - just you wait and see!).
There you have it - the 3 C's that will hopefully skate me through the year with a focus. Let me tell you that there are many, many more projects on the list. I'll tackle them as I can, yet I've decided that this year that I will not be stressed by not having them done, and instead I will live in the thankful spirit of being in a nice home, with a wonderful family, fully loved by an awesome God.
Love the silver platter for the dog bowls!!! Everybody needs a little luxury in their lives!!!
