For Lucia And Kelly And Kimmy And.....

You inspired me today with your blog post. I do live with clutter most days. It drives me crazy and yet, seems necessary at the same time. We're in middle of changing our dining room back into a dining room after 10 years of being an office. (believe me, with 6 of us, we need a dining area)

I can only work on the room while the kids nap and at night. So it is a very slow process. So, what do you do with 10 years of 'office' junk? Right now, it is in the middle of the floor upstairs and downstairs. It is so NOT ZEN.

Hopefully, within the next month or so, I can post pics of the finished product. For now, the 'in progress' product is quite stressful. (with one completed wall)

The idea is European Countryside meets 1970's ranch meets the needs of a 6 person family. More to come....

And just for Lucia, the picture of my kitchen table (as it stands 99% of the time)

Jan, thank you! Made me smile to get on line this morning and see your kitchen table! And regarding your progress....whenever you feel overwhelmed by it all just stop and look at that nice clean wall. Can't wait to see more of your progress. I am happy to report that I did make some major progress in the past couple of days...having company is a great motivator now the trick will be to keep it clean enough on a daily basis for potential buyers/renters....what a pain!
