Saturday Morning Scene

Well my Saturday morning scene definitely isn't sweet or serene this week. It's a big mess, but my Monday morning will (better...lol) be much nicer. So here it is:

Master bedroom furniture and closet contents in our great room!! What a great big mess!!

Another angle....

Last shot of the carpet!! Bye Bye!!

So as you have probably read here and here, we are re-doing our master bedroom floor and closet this weekend with a gorgeous expresso walnut wood floor, so that's what our Saturday morning looked like. Disastrous!!

So head on over to here and check out what other people's Saturday morning is looking like. Hope everyone's having a great weekend!!

Before Pics - Master Bedroom!!

Beware as you feast your eyes on the images below that they are not in any way shape or form edited and I am by no means claiming to be organized, but I will use these pictures to scare myself into being organized, and I won't look back (unless I need to be scared again - which better not happen).

So here are the before shots of our master bedroom, pre-flooring installation:

Our King size bed and carpet!!

My dresser and the window

Bedroom door and door to the super messy closet

Door to the master bath and Eric's dresser and the super messy shelf

In case you didn't see how bad the closet was before....

My nightstand and bedroom door

So Hannah's before pics of her bedroom won't be up tonight because photo-uploader is taking way too long. So stay tuned tomorrow afternoon for those!! As I type this my hubby's upstairs taking up the tack strip!! Oh and stay tuned tomorrow for up close shots of the closet!! I need to be held accountable!!

Spring Cleaning To Do List

With the arrival of spring, we I have decided to make myself a list of the things that I would like to/ need to get accomplished this spring. Now mind you my spring cleaning is going to be happening a little bit later this year with all our upcoming renos (that you can read about here) but there are certain things that we can get started on right away!!
So here's my list so I can keep myself accountable for the things we would like to get done this spring:

• Organize bedroom closets
• Organize craft room and make some sense of it - this may include photographing more jewelry to get posted on here, but we shall see
• Gather my income tax stuff (which needs to be happening ASAP)
• Go through my tupperware and discard and mismatched stuff
• Organize crawl space (it's a disaster)
• Organize Hannah's play room
• Plant peony's I purchased outside
• Order dirt and mulch to be delivered for our gardens
• Clean out shed
• Clear out under the deck storage area (which will include pulling out Hannah's summer toys and pressure washing them all off)
• Get out patio furniture and swing
• Organize the office
• Wash the inside and outside of all my windows (we live in an area where there is lots of new construction so they never really look clean despite being brand new)

Add all that to my evergrowing reno list for the next couple of weeks and we are going to be super busy. But I look forward to the feeling of it all being done. So stay tuned and see what we get accomplished. What's on your spring cleaning list? Is it as lofty as mine? Today I'm linking up with Paisley Passions Thrilling Thursday's, so head on over and check out what she's got going on!!

What I Am Loving Wednesday

So I am linking up again this week with Jamie at This Kind of Love for another edition of What I Am Loving Wednesday!!!

And I have to admit, this Wednesday I am NOT loving the weather, last week was gorgeous, this week, snow (TONS), freezing rain (YUCK), and the roads are a mess. I vote we celebrate spring in hopes that it will make it make a comeback!!

So, on too the things I am loving this week. I am loving that we are gearing up for our new flooring in our master bedroom and Hannah's bedroom this weekend!! I cannot wait to see my expresso floors!! BYE BYE Carpet!!! So stay tuned Friday for the before pics, and then check back for the after pics next week!!

I am also loving that Hannah slept through the night for the most part last night!! That said, she had a busy day of shopping yesterday!! I tired the poor girl out really good!!

I am loving my new medicine cabinet and picture frame my hubby hung over the weekend. Check out the pics here!!

And last but not least I am LOVING all the sweet compliments my jewelry is getting over at Life As I Know It. Ashley is hosting a giveaway featuring my handcrafted jewelry, so be sure to check it out and get yourself entered, it's really easy. And thank you for the lovely comments ladies!!

So that's it for my What I'm Loving Wednesdays!!

Take care
