New Year . . . New Look

Yes I know it has been ages since I have posted here. But alas, things are going right and the stress is lessening around here. I'm getting my many hats organized and ready to move on to new projects. I know it's only February but spring fever has hit me already. Besides being a secretary, a news writer, a seamstress, and a mom of two teens and a tween, and a wife, an archer, and a not so hot cook, I am going to add blogger to the collection. I am going to make a weekly or even daily effort to blog in some way.

To start with I have three blogs:

www.rethreadearth.blogspot.com

www.fearlessgrace.blogspot.com

and a blog at one of my websites

www.nelsonsewing.com

So I am going to try and blog on at least one of these each day. Today is Rethread Earth's turn.

I am starting a series that will follow the makeover of my office/front room/customer reception room/coat room. Yes, that will definitely be a challenge but I have a plan . . . see?!

I have my floor plan laid out complete with measurements of furniture that will remain in the room. In addition to that I laid out what each wall in the room is going to look like.

As you can see from the following pictures the room is extremely messy. I am embarrassed to even post them here but I want you to see the before so you can ooh and ahh over the after. 

Northwest corner

Southwest corner sideways . . . sorry.

Southeast corner with doorway to living room.

Door to outside on east wall and customer shelving on north wall.

UGLY carpet! May have to search for a remnant

North wall showing better shot of customer shelving and computer area.

Like I said messy, cramped and kaos! So here is the plan. First, I will use nearly everything in this room although it may be used or rebuilt differently than you currently see it. Second, the room is going to be completely emptied so I can patch nail holes, remove the dated border, and put on a coat of fresh paint. Third, all the furniture and shelving will be painted the same color to lessen the look of kaos. The color will coordinate with the wall color. Fourth, this series of blogs will take some time because there are only certain things I can do until our chilly northwest Iowa weather turns warm. But I will keep you posted on all the little things I do. 

Hey by the way if you have any suggestions or tips feel free to comment. Nobody has ever placed a comment and I would love some comments.

Thanks . . . and by the way HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Many Blessings,
Nancy
