I started today by cleaning the "cold room" which is what we've started calling our 3rd bedroom, which is actually probably our biggest but it was too awkward for the master, but should be just right for a kiddie room one day....right now it's the "cold room" meaning we just store everything in there (mass amounts of junk) shut the door, don't turn on the heat in there and put a towel in in front of the door so the freezing temperature doesn't seep into the rest of the house. No need to pay to heat our unnecessary storage items. I'm looking forward to it being warm again so we can leave the door open and it doesn't feel like we are hiding something scary behind the door. I threw away a lot of stuff that for some reason I thought I needed when we were moving, made a big pile for goodwill (though I wish it was warm enough for a yard sale, I just don't want it to sit around any longer & it will be nice to give to good will anyway).
So the "cold room" went from looking like this early this morning....
to this....still a little messy but most of that on the left is trash to be taken out tuesday! Ahh feels good to get rid of stuff. (I know, the curtains are AWFUL....I need new curtains everywhere in my house...)
Though the other bedroom, what we call "dog room" is now filled with the boxes to be moved into the attic, and the boxes to take to good will..... :-\ at least it will all be moved soon...(again, I know curtains are terrible!)
This is why we call it the "dog room"....our little lovelies sleep here....
Speaking of dog....we went to costco tonight and got them a ginormous (well at least for their size) bed! My friend Christina let me know that Costco has them for a good price.....$18!!!
As I was cleaning I found some knobs that I had bought a long time ago for the townhouse that I never used....I took the chance to replace the ugly gold knobs on our closet in the living room...much better! Hubby helped here while I continued cleaning....
I also found my old key thing that I bought at Walmart long ago and painted. I put it up too.
I also found my betta fish tank Chance got for me a few years ago so I went and bought a fish today.....as I was taking these pictures, I realized it was dead...Fail
I found a few other accessories & pictures frames & such and put things around....Thought I would put some updated pictures of the living room & dining room
Dining room: (Can't wait to find blinds or curtains for that door!!)
Looking into the kitchen...
Living Room...
The whole room....
And the closest thing we have to a "foyer".....dying to find a dresser/buffet to redo and put here....
Oh do you love my pitcher? Thrifty Decor Chick posted about her pitcher the other day and I loved it so much I had to go buy one ASAP....got mine at Target like she did for 9.99 (marked down because it was scuffed a little but a little elbow grease later and you can't really tell!)...though I cut the flowers a little low, oops.
