At least it appeared so.........
I moved my computer over the weekend to begin painting the office,
the dust bunnies came ALIVE!
I started naming them.
So, this was the before:
First I took off the doors - they will be re-used in another project. Then I started painting. It was quite a mess, as the bedroom is 10 x 10, the whole house only 320 sq ft. So I had to paint on top of everything. It looked like Best Buy had been hit by a tornado.
Oh my......
Then it was finished. All creamy white, so clean and pretty
I put the shelves back (we built these ourselves! - Can you tell? Don't answer that)
The keyboard drawer was a salvaged piece of oak - and ode to the man in my life who likes OAK. This is the only piece in the whole house, I guess he can have it.
And here it is, all organized and ready for the new season!
Now, Get to WORK, Debra!

EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love it!
You wanna know the real reason I started a Purge Party?
To get our home ready to sell, so we can right-size our lives (down-size, whatever :).
To have less to maintain and keep will be much simpler.
I am so glad you stopped by! I am sure I will be learning a lot from you!
Have you seen the blog called Cottage 960 (as in 960 sq. ft.)? Her home is almost 3 times as big as yours, though :) Maureen is a friend of mine--you two could compare notes ;)
I want to feature you next week if I may?
We have a lot to learn in our society about consumerism. I have pondered this a lot!
I thank you for linking up to the purge party and I hope you can share your message with more and more people!
Hugs and blessings!

Your home is beautiful. We have been thinking a lot about ways we can "simplify". Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It was inspiring, to say the least.

I recognize those books! :)
Congrats on breaking away from a materialistic lifestyle!
Nice to meet you! Thank you - we get some good information, don't we?
I know these books! <3
Hi - Just stumbled onto your blog from Design Mom.
I like the books on your office shelves. ;) I have those too. "Good on you" for "simplifying" It's harder than than you think it is, I am sure. I just noticed that several comments above recognized your books too! Small world eh!
Hi Tracie! Yes, you guessed correctly! My email is minkeebabygifts at gmail dot com
This is truly an inspiration to me! We are a young family of 3 also, our daughter is 4 I really want her to grow up with a sense of what is important. We are currently living in a house that is about 900 sq ft. We really want to downsize to house about half the size. I come from a long line of pack-rats so we are going to need to purge, a lot! I was wondering, how did you start the process and what first steps would you recommend?
I love my books too! I found you through pintrest looking at small homes, how Cool ! Can't wait to see the orange home and to here where you end up serving!
