This winter my husband has subscribed again to see football matches on sunday afternoons (any other week) so I’m planning lots of domestic stuff to fullfill all this alone time, like decorating a little bit my kitchen moving things around on the living room and on the walls….

I’m considerably older than you and still buying furniture with “assembly required.” Ugh. I’d like to buy a bunch of real furniture someday, too. Right now, our stuff is old and tired-looking and cat-clawed-up…always a nice look. This weekend, I’m working on my front porch and back patio. I bought a too-expensive metal bench today at Baker’s Nursery and some Rustoleum paint for a metal table I have. Our poor 60 year old house could use some major renos but a little sprucing up is all it’s going to get for awhile. It always makes you feel better, though, to have a few nice, new things interspersed so I’m sort of excited about what I may get done this weekend.

I love thrift stores or craigslist.org for a cheap way to spruce up the home, I managed to score the couch of my dreams one Saturday by browsing the free listings, it was like it was meant to be! New fabric for throw pillows, some freshly framed art and the room looks new! Have fun!

Our garage really needs a good sort and purge. We also have boxes of games that we never unpacked from our move, and that need sorting and a place in our house. My husband is talking a kitchen re-org, too. I dream of a new couch and comfy reading chair, but will wait till tax refund time for that. I love de-cluttering and using what you have in a new way – pictures!!

Good idea! (I should take some pics of my de-cluttering!) I have boxed up a whole box of pic frames. Have a need for some? One is a cute wine bottle. Need to get rid of LOTS of my stuff. Have a load to take and donate this weekend!

Love it! Nothing like creating a brand new look with what you’ve got! Need to see pictures when it’s all done
