I am snowed in.....


Snowy days are great days to clean, organize and toss.  I started in my closet where I keep my sewing cabinet...


...the drawers were a mess and it was time to "neaten them up"...


...this is a cute sewing stand that I painted a few years ago...



...and it keeps all my supplies in one place!


As I was organizing that, I noticed dust on my lamp shade...



...which led to me dusting/vacuuming every lampshade in my home...


...and as I was doing that...


...I wondered why I have so many lamps...


...because every room has ceiling lights...


...and there is very little need for lamps...


...and, I also wondered...


...if lamps are accessories...


...and I have absolutely no answer...


...but this one has a purpose...


...it's a nice night light for the kitchen!

That chore led me to notice that my 6 panel doors also needed dusting...


...and the morning room floor needed washing...


Boy, I am hoping this storm passes by quickly, but they are saying 2 feet will most likely drop in 48 hours - ugghhhh!

The snow is blowing....


...and covering the windows...


I am off to organize some kitchen cupboards while I still have some energy left....

Spring window treatments....

I got a little energetic and made new window treatments for my living room and dining room.  These are quick and easy to make and you can see tutorials on how I did it here:


 I wanted to bring some "spring green" into the room...



...so I will be on the hunt for some accent pieces this week.


This is the old dining room window treatment.  This one has been up for the four years we have lived in the house, so I was ready for a change there, too!

A local fabric store is going out of business and I was able to make this for only $6:


This is made in a similar manner as the other treatment, but with a much wider board.


Now that the sun is finally shining, I MUST get to painting some of the furniture that has been stored in my cellar all winter!
