This week’s big project is getting ready for our yard sale on Saturday morning, and we aren’t holding back.  Our last (and only other) yard sale was in March of 2011 before we closed on this house.  It was cold, but successful and somehow we still managed to move from a two bedroom apartment and fill an entire house with stuff.  So, we are ready to purge and cleanse again.

 
 
In addition to cleaning out our closets and shed and finally going through all of those boxes still in our garage:
 
We are also going through each room and saying goodbye to the old (and the practically new!) and making room for new plans and designs.
 

Some shockers, right?  Don’t mistake our willingness to purge with the ease of saying goodbye to some of our favorite items, like that shaggy rug, the arc lamp and our bridge picture–and that’s just the living room!  But there is a great feeling of rejuvenation to be able to clean out spaces and pantries and entire rooms and make room for new ideas.  Anyone else doing some spring summer cleaning?  Planning a yard sale? Or maybe you found something great at one recently?  I can’t wait to make room for new yard sale finds.

See you Saturday??

  1. Kate, I am not sure how I would ship it to you. It is pretty large. I could possibly take it apart and roll it up? If it doesn’t sell on Saturday, I’ll be happy to work out details with you.

  2. We don’t have an IKEA store in IA (and it’s not available to purchase online) and I’ve been drooling over this piece for a while!! It reminds me of the Monte Verde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, which is where my hubby and I got married and honeymooned. Let me know if it’s available?! Thanks!!!
