Spare room clutter..
I have a spare room that has turned into a 'toss it and forget it' situation.
It is a mess. I promised myself this summer I would clean it up to make it a usable room. My plan is to turn it into my exercise room. First thing to go: A small antique pew that I had to have and bought at a auction 20 years ago. A friend of mine has a large pew, her mother has a large pew, and Michellle's daughter who is graduating from high school this summer wants one so she can continue the tradition of every generation having a pew. Michelle saw mine, fell in love with it, so I sold it to her. She is giving it to her daughter. Picking it up tomorrow. I have a large square coffee table that I have been thinking about getting rid of. I love the table, but large for my living room. I want to downsize. So I mentioned to a friend at work that I was selling it. She came over after work, liked it, will be picking it up Saturday. I have a antique bed with matching dresser in my spare room. I aquired it after my grandmothers death 4 years ago. I really didn't have room for it, didn't want it, but nobody else would take it, so I have it. Well... Wanda knows that story and asked if she could see it while she was here seeing the table. She wants both pieces!! I told her I would talk to mom tonight to make sure it is ok with her that I sell them. So, I will have a load of space in my room! Just have to clean up the clutter and I am good to go!! This really is the summer that I will have the room to use and enjoy! No more closed doors to hide the mess. Happy, happy, and I have a few dollars to boot. YEA!! |

Let us know how it goes - maybe you'll motivate some of us to get some projects done around the house!

Well done!
Seems here every time I get a room emptied out someone moves into it.  Be careful no one knows you have any extra space... it seems to attract them!
