Alrighty Then!

Weekend Recap!

So I will copy/paste my list from the weekend and give you the update (in pink) on what was done and what wasn't... you won't be surprised........

1) Bathrooms (all three of them need some major scrub action) - NEGATIVO! This was last on my priorities for the weekend as I was not feeling well on Sat... (but I did lose another 1.6 lbs!)
2) vacuum and clean carpets (there are some mysterious stains - no doubt they are from the outside elements, such as dirt!) - another NEGATIVO!!! I didn't even look at the Dyson... he is in the closet, just waiting to be used!
3) sweep/mop - aaaaaaaaaaaannnnd NEGATIVO it is!!! ugh... man I am feeling kind of sad at this list.. I am already half way down and three negativos....
4) clean and redo the 'night stand' that I purchased for the guest bedroom. - NEGATIVO! I am on a roll... not something to be proud of though.

5) launder and organize all towels/linens. As well as find a place for this:

Ok.. so this is a Half NEGATIVO because I did launder all the linens/towels and such (as well as the sheets/comforter for the guest bedroom) but I did not find a place for this thing yet!

6) get stuff out to the garage that will be garage sale worthy. (my family is doing their annual everyone get together at my aunts house for a garage sale, next weekend) - ok.. so I didn't have to do anything for this because we canceled the garage sale (well we moved it to July so that everyone could get their stuff together as not many were ready)

Well.. seeing how my list o'stuff didn't really get completed, I will tell you that I did find some stuff to pretty up this weekend (or so I say) as well as I think I will start my own etsy shop.. I just don't know how to go about doing it.. so I will be researching it this week.

I got these few things at the thrift store and will be cleaning them up and putting them out on display!!

I have been looking up and down and all around for something to go in my dining room to display my STUFF and I found this beauty at the thrift store over the weekend - while it isn't your typical hutch or whatever you call it, I thought it would work great! So.. the little price tag on it said $60 - but there was a sign that said "make me an offer" - I was super shy (so not like me) and so hubby came out and said $10 bucks... the lady (who was super sweet) said she would go check and then came back and said - we will take $20 and then my hubby said... ok ok.. what about $15 and so she went and came back and said you got a deal! We got it for $15!!!!!

I want to sand it down and lighten it up to match the dining room set a little better. Oh and it's missing a little shelf in the inside so I will need to come up with a plan for that! It's gonna look great!

In the same area with the $15dollar bad boy was the this cute little bundle of joy! It was marked at $5 and also had the "make me an offer" sign and so I got it for $2.50... I have NO Clue what I will use it for, but hey.. $2.50 for a utility cart.. come on!

The stuff on top was a good deal too. The round tray was $1.50 and the rectangle one was $2.00. I plan on cleaning the trays up and spray painting the middle with chalk board paint so I can display them with fun little notes! :) Like this bloggy blog friend did. Aren't they just divine!

Well.. anyway.. that's what I got for now. Stay tuned to see what else I come up with!

Hasta!
