Full Disclosure

Anyone else hate seeing a bloggy home only when it's perfectly staged and ready for pictures?!?!  No?  Oh, that's only me?  Well, either way...I decided from the get-go I was going to share it all with you guys.  The good.  The bad.  And the ugly.

Well now is the time when I share yet another peak at the very ugly. 

Our house has been looking like this for about a week now.  I'd like to refer to it as "chaotic craft chic". 


All of this clutter has been driving me C-R-A-Z-Y.  I can only imagine how nuts it's driving my hubby, but at least he knows it's like this because progress is being made on several projects.  Things always look worse before they look better right? :)

Oh, and in case you are wondering where we eat our meals since I have taken over the dining room table AND the breakfast bar...we eat on the couch and use our "leather" ottoman as a table.  Classy, huh?  Yup, in the midst of all the felt, glue guns, scissors, paint, brushes, extension cords, magazines and other normal stuff that you find on people's couches...we snuggle up for a cozy meal.

Thankfully, Perny found a sliiiiiver of couch that was un-junked-up {made tha adjective up, clearly} so he could relax.


Ohhhhhh, cleaning day can't come soon enough!!  Happy Fridayyyyyyy! :)

    What are those yellow triangles? They look like mini saw horses. So helpful!

      They are these little things to prop stuff up when you paint it. SO helpful! Especially when you are doing things that need both sides painted, like cabinet doors.

    Look at all those frames! Don't worry, my house is currently a mess too. Wait, it's usually kinda messy. It happens :)

    I feel your pain! My house always goes down the crapper when I'm working on projects, and then when it's clean I have nothing to blog about haha. Oh the circle of life!
