Today I am thankful for encouragement and the ability to move onward.  I hope you all are in the mood for lots of boring and mundane photos today! 

I chose to focus on maintaining today.   So I maintained Pantry #1 . . .

Pantry #2  . . .

the kitchen . . .

Bayleigh's room . . .

Eli's room . . .

the kid's bathroom . . .

(which is still in the midst of remodel)

the entry, and entry bathroom . . .

the master bath . . .

the master bedroom . . .

(which is still partially under construction)

the dining room . . .

the sitting room (which I still need to find furniture for, after I drag the rest of the stuff in the corner out for donation) . . .

and the little breakfast nook, which will end up being part of the kitchen, when we're completely done with the remodel.

I also managed to squeeze in this part of the living room.

Bayleigh "dressed up" to go visiting with grandma this afternoon, and my good friend Nancy came over for a visit!

I'm so glad she came to visit this afternoon . . . even though she DID end up seeing this:

Which will be my FOCUS for next week.  I MUST get the rest of my crafting supplies sorted and put in their proper locations, so I can get ready for some serious creative time next month.

I'm also hoping to dive into the spare bedroom and finish it up.  I've got two corners cleaned out, and really don't have that much left to go (believe it or not!).  Most of it is just plain old trash that just never got thrown away during the main remodel. 

I'm thinking the big black industrial size trash bags will be in order for THIS one!

Just a few more rooms to go!  I hope my energy and motivation hold out that long!
