I love your idea of putting everything into one area and then going for it! And...I LOVE Craigslist! I put my items on Facebook and Kijiji but I'll definitely also use Craigslist next time (as I plan on continuing to purge). Believe me, You will feel SOOO much better after a few items have left your home in the hands of people who will find a new use for it. I know it sounds cliche, but I really did feel a small weight lift off my shoulders everytime that happened.<br />That's so crazy that you also know Sara...she is one VERY WELL connected gal...and super awesome too! I agree...we most definitely are only one degree of separation apart!<br />Hope you are having a great weekend and that we can 'talk' again soon!<br />Rustic Retrievalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056976728083826820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210557414921732898.post-4818716384052044902013-10-13T10:39:06.543-04:002013-10-13T10:39:06.543-04:00I felt the same way...like I was going a million m...I felt the same way...like I was going a million miles a minute in 10 different directions! But, when I made up my mind that I was going to do it..I DID IT! I know how hard it is to find extra, spare moments, but I think that if you can set aside even 2 hours to do this, you'll actually feel like you have more time in the long run as you have a more streamlined and less cluttered overall feel.<br />Hope you have/had a chance to do this this weekend! Keep me posted!Rustic Retrievalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056976728083826820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210557414921732898.post-89983580687181841542013-10-13T10:36:37.017-04:002013-10-13T10:36:37.017-04:00I agree...we definitely are and we need to stop! T...I agree...we definitely are and we need to stop! The main floor (and mainly just the front entry/dining/living area) of my house turned into a bit of a 'show room' for people to come pick things up...but...anything past that area....let's just say, I'm very thankful to be off loading some of my wares!<br />Are you talking about the FAT Paint company that just had the fire next to their store? I follow them on Instagram and had tears rolling down my cheeks as I saw them post pictures and hoping that their livelihood would not go up in flames. If this is the same person, please pass along that I'm thinking about them....so scary.<br />Thanks so much re: the fabric project. It was fun and a nice little break from the craziness of the weekend to pull it together.<br />I can't wait to see the next steps of your home...including the painted bathroom vanity!<br />Hope all is well, Happy Thanksgiving and talk soon!<br />xoRustic Retrievalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09056976728083826820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210557414921732898.post-84179763062858993312013-10-12T19:16:08.917-04:002013-10-12T19:16:08.917-04:00Just found your blog!

My hubby's been gone for a week and I've actually pushed all the furniture I want to sell into one big area and am going to try and post it all on Craigslist. I'm done with having things that don't work for us anymore taking up our limited space! PS - I met Sara last year at a blogging event in Vancouver, so now I feel like you and I are really only one degree of separation from knowing each other. ;)Rosa @ Flutter Flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048824318937275995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210557414921732898.post-52838638966586761812013-10-07T17:43:40.912-04:002013-10-07T17:43:40.912-04:00I SO need to do this.

My problem is time - i'm taking three night classes while working full time, so all sorts of area in my home have become dumping grounds for stuff while I rush off to work, or to do homework, etc. I've got big plans for this weekend - I'm going to be an organizing machine!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139894814819973360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210557414921732898.post-89324706821065006942013-10-06T22:33:55.542-04:002013-10-06T22:33:55.542-04:00women can be so hard on themselves. I love that yo...women can be so hard on themselves. I love that your house is clean/presentable enough to have an 'in-home sale'. I would scoop those folding chairs in a nano second if I lived closer.<br />my girlfriend owns a chalk paint company FAT Paint and sent me some samples for our main bathroom vanity - I can't wait to get some down time to experiment.<br />your Tonic Living project turned out great! I used the lime green chevron for Gabe's crib bedding (should have an in-home sale to get rid of it) haha.<br /><br />xoxoSara Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676277456762650249noreply@blogger.com
