The stuff…….

DSCN2414 When we found our cottage farm house, we knew there would be many changes. We spent our time on the down stairs and the upstairs had to wait. Arney built the new staircase and everything had to be put on hold. Every time we would make a plan it just seemed to get lost.

It became a place of storage. So like the  Hoarders on TV, it began to be the catch all of life.

Here and there I would go up and move things around and even took the old carpet out of one of the bedrooms, saying that this time we will get it done.

I call it the lost rooms… So we rented a dumpster and put it under a window upstairs, and today with the help of Jenny my daughter and Summit my grandson, the pitching of the stuff started, and they are returning tomorrow.

There are two bedrooms upstairs in this 1906 cottage farmhouse. But when we are done it will be only one large room with all new carpet, a sweet wall color and a new walk in closet. Everything NEW!

All the walls that divided the rooms will be removed. Don’t you just love a summer project..Yikes!!

Here are a few picture I took to give you some idea of what is going on.DSCN2413 Going up the stairs.                        Should I go on the Hoarders show???DSCN2418 What can a person say???? DSCN2416DSCN2423

It is really sweet when a box becomes empty and gone….DSCN2430 DSCN2442
