our shed is a thrift shop

Hey hey!!  How goes it today? One of the most fun things I’ve been able to do since closing on this house is sift through all kinds of goodness that was left in our back yard shed.  You know, our big back yard. Admittedly it took me much longer to get to where we are today than it would have, say Joel.  As may have been pointed out to me a time or two.  ;) But I like old junk and sifting through it all made me think that our shed is a thrift shop.  And who doesn’t like to shop for things they’ve already paid for?  ;)

Hi there!  How are you today? I am doing great.  To say that Joel and I are like kids in a candy store settling into our new space is an understatement.  We thought we had an understanding about how much we really missed tinkering around a house and yard and creating a space we love.  But seriously, even we didn’t realize exactly how much this little move would fill us up. AHHHHHHHH! Yeah, that’s pretty much what it sounds like inside my brain on a regular basis right now. But that’s not to say it’s all warm and fuzzy all the time.  I am constantly oscillating between unpacking more boxes and then organizing the madness that has been unpacked. One of my personal priorities is the shed/tool storage and getting everything in order so there is at least a little sense of order when we start tearing apart every room around here.  And getting everything out of order.  :)

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.

Happy Tuesday y’all!  I’m super excited to be a part of the Organizing 101 Series: Back to Basics with some seriously incredible bloggers.  Yesterday Beth at Free Stylin’ showed you how to get more organized with menu planning (and not break the bank) and today I’m going to share with you my tips on time management (without losing your mind).

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?
