I've got a secret....

So i know all of us DIY-ers have projects going on most of the time...

in addition to full time jobs...small children...grown children....point being most of us have MANY things going on at once (in addition to our projects) and sometimes our homes do NOT look like a photo shoot... especially when we have a room reno happening...

That happened to me recently when I was making over our master bedroom..my office became the overflow dumping room.....and because I consider you my friends.... 

I am sharing something with you that you only share with friends.....

We recently had a death in our family my husband and I wanted to have all of the out of town family members and other local friends and family over to our home for brunch after the funeral...

So i started my To Do List-- 

1.  Clean house for house guests and brunch....

Bedroom--check

Family Room - check

Living Room -check

Office...

WHOA.........what happened in here???  Yep--this had become the "throw it in here" room...with THROW being the operative word.....I actually stood here looking at this and snapped a photo on my cell phone and sent it to my daughter to show her what I was up against...She relied with --NO WAY is this your house mom!!  Knowing the clock was ticking -- people were arriving I rolled my sleeves up and.....

Voila! 

I did it!  

Now of course for a few days my hubby could not find any items he "placed" in the overflow room...

but it's all good!!   And I have made a promise to myself to NEVER do that to myself EVER again....

we'll see!
