knick knack patty whack………….move some stuff around

In an effort to cheer myself up after my NeverEnding list purging, I decided to do a little update to the living room.

Here is the living room before….

DSCN0826and here is the living room now…..

DSCN1100Cord Mess!!!  I have a solution and will show you later.  I scored some cool stuff from an Estate sale.  See the wood tray and the tan ceramic pot, yeah….awesomeness.

DSCN1114 Not gunna lie to ya…..I really like to polish this.  It makes me happy.  I use Scott’s Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner and Preservative – Almond Scent.

DSCN1108No pretty words for this…..I just really like it.

DSCN1115The milk glass holds the agates that the girls like to pick up when we are out and about in nature.   They are so cute when they find some ‘pretties’ to add to our collection.

Here is another shot of the new….not so new….moved around….knick knacks….and I SWEAR that Cord Mess will be vanquished from the land.

The NeverEnding………….. list

Have you ever gotten to the point where you have so many projects in process that the list of items to complete is so long you think that it is something like “The Nothing”?.

Well – I am to that point…….my Nothing is so overwhelming I have no idea where to start.  Let’s start with a list and maybe Bastian will come through for me.

1, 2 and 3.  Remember Denver Trip?  That trip has provided me with 2 bathrooms to finish and a Jules’ room to tweak.  Captain of Destruction received a new room for Christmas and I have some finishing touches to add into the room.  Here is a sneak peek:

DSCN12944.  I purchased a new bed for Jane and it came in the mail today!  First Officer of Destruction needed a new bed because the bunk bed was a tad on the broken side.  Here is a before pic from when mister and I redid their floors…

DSCN07395.  Doors for the top floor hallway.  Ever since the water incident the doors have been on my mind.  I have them…..they are waiting for me….they want to be placed in their respective frames and be awesome.

DSCN12956.  My bedroom……I purchased some amazing things and I need to get them in the room.  Click here…

7.  Fix the back patio.….and add in the raised gardens in the grassy area between the patio and the fence.

8.  Put the finishing touches on the playhouse.

DSCN12069.  Plumb in the downstairs toilet and just give that bathroom a good cleaning.

10.  and items that we were planning on doing in 2014 but looking at the list above….not sure how that’s going to work for us………..Side yard shop, front yard garden, front gravel parking, garage turned into game room, new cement pad in the front (that would keep water from creating a duck pond in my driveway) and, and, and……

Well – wish us luck.  All of these seem daunting but I am super excited for the outcomes of each….and as Bastian found…..imagination is everything.  Did you forget I am a nerd????

Update to Rolly Cart Corner

So Rolly Cart Corner was feeling a little on the boooorrrrrrrrriiinnnnnnnnggggggg side.  So I put up some artwork to try and up the ante. (Maybe the terrarium should go?)

DSCN0842

Love the art…..gotta keep it up for a bit to see if the corner works for me.  Rolly Cart loves getting more attention, so something definitely needs to fancify that corner!

Let’s get a couple of sexy close ups to really show off 🙂
