But Wait You Can See Your Floor!

Nothing irks me more than when someone tells me that I can’t come to their house because it’s a mess and then I find out that to them a mess means a few things are out of place.

I don’t want anyone to think that I won’t understand or that their situation is impossible.  I know what it’s like to not see your floor for months or years at a time but I also know what it’s like to finally see it for the first time after all those months or years.  It feels great and that’s what I want you to feel!

There’s a few reasons that you can  see my floor in the pics:

• I’ve been working really really hard at getting rid of things.  I’ve finally realized that my life is flying past me and I’m missing it because I’m always busy taking care of the “STUFF”.  I’m done with the stuff and it’s time to rediscover some buried hobbies.
• The floor is brand new.  There’s a 4 foot pile of stuff filling up another room so that we could put the new floor into the living room.  The carpet that was in there was probably at least 40-50 years old which didn’t bother us too much because we hardly ever saw it anyways.
• Lastly, I’m still a little cautious about posting pics that are too bad.   I haven’t let many people into my house so not many people know how bad it is and I wouldn’t want them to find it online.  It’s getting a lot better and I’m hoping that soon I will be able to invite people over again.  Then I will post more pics.

I’ve been taking lots of pics of all of the changes that are taking place.  I have lots of before and after pics and I post them in small doses.  I will post full room pics when everything is finished or at least close to being finished.  There’s still a ton of work to do!

Now that the new floor is in, I can finally start painting.  Once I have two walls done, I’ll be putting in some shelves.  I feel like a big part of my problem is a lack of storage so I’ll let you know how it works out!!
