Don't try re-decorating.....................

............in a small house............

...............unless you have one of these!

Thank goodness for the potting shed.  It comes in so handy when the need for a storage place is required.

All the stuff from the front porch, plus more stuff from the living room is crammed into my little shed..........................

...........and all will be sorted through before being returned.  Some items may be popping up in the new shop because I'm now truly in the mood to edit, clear out, and simplify!

It's gonna be hard because I love my stuff!  Some precious pieces will of course stay, the remainder moves on...........

These old Moselle green walls are now Bistro White.....loving them (will show you later).....'popcorn' ceiling is history, smooth is better.

...............meanwhile painter Bruce scrapes ceilings, paints walls and brightens up the cottage.  Interior changes almost finished.  House was power washed yesterday, next week the exterior will get two new coats of fresh paint from foundation to roof line. Then flowerbeds will be edged with new timbers, soil will be amended and, fingers crossed, shrubs will start growing back.

Hopefully we'll be looking good again come next Spring!
