And can I just tell you that you guys had me cracking up. You are funny! And kind. And so thoughtful to say such nice things about this here blog. You rock my world. You know who you are.  You “forever 21″, “way too many kids”, “red-neck girl”, “crazy cat lady”, “young at heart”, “lettuce green” loving people. You are my people. Or I am your people.  Or something.  :) Now, I am way too easily distracted to take your answers and poke and prod them into fancy charts with exacting measurements and mind boggling statistics. So I’m going to point out a few observations that had me smiling, laughing, cracking up even, making Joel wonder what the heck was so funny on my little computer.  :) First, I am honored by exactly how many of you left your names.  I had intended the survey to be anonymous, but when I start out by asking your name I guess that’s hard to do.  Oops. * *btw – this survey is totally not anonymous.  maybe I’ll get it better next year. But you still shared so many great details about who you are. 19% of you live outside of the US and/or dream of travel and a beachy life. My people!!

Today we’ve got a quick side table before and after for you before you head over to the real business at hand at Jamie’s, the 4th day of Organizing 101: Back to Basics. This is a transformation of a little side table we’ve had sitting outside for a few years.  A side table we bought at the same auction we got our frame and couches at a few years ago.

This isn’t going to be the first, or the last post about a spontaneous project that just took over me and happened on a random evening in a random week. Remember the striped rug?  That happened. Well, in my quest for a functional blog room and with all of the focus on organization these days (you’ll be prompted to head over to Allison’s blog House of Hepworths to get your fill of Day 3 of Organizing 101 at the end of this post … you won’t want to miss it!), I had an idea for a diy wall calendar one night and ran with it.

Holy cow, how is it September all ready?  It boggles my mind how fast time goes by. Just boggles it I tell you.  ;) (What does that even mean?) Here’s a look back on all that we accomplished in August, a little review of the month in minutes.  And I’m going to mix it up a bit and add categories … then you can easily find the types of posts you’re looking for. You’re welcome. Let’s start with Projects!

blog room organization

So, last I left you in the living room and we were looking like this. And, I’ll give you one guess as to what it looks like today.  :) Yep, exactly the same with a little more dust. See, I have no issue leaving one room totally midstream to shift gears.  I probably should finish up in there, because the fab new striped rug really doesn’t go with those couches. I’m still in shock about that.  ;) But, once again, I’m going function over form. For now. I did make a little drop off at the laundromat this morning that I’m hoping will one day be my couch solution.  Let’s just say the sewing machine is coming out in September and I’m more than a wee bit skerd!  You know I’ll keep you posted. Now, do you want to see something that might make you skerd?
