It was stained when we bought it and has only gotten worse with kids, dogs, mud and generally glleeful abandon of any consideration for the condition of it! <br />Tonight I will begin reading the Day #1 list making instructions, then begin to haul everything out. I'll try to post pictures as I go...WhatIfWeAllCared?https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206084253488718796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376245541160365012.post-66413583543267120112013-03-25T11:53:52.198-04:002013-03-25T11:53:52.198-04:00I actually have not officially started this challe...I actually have not officially started this challenge, eben though the clock is ticking! I had to finish and file my taxes first~ which showed all to clearly the truth that I Need to get Way More Organized! In finishing mytaxes, and digging for papers I needed, the room has been filled more and turned upside down a bit too... tonight, after a Boy Scout meeting (elsewhere) I can finally begin to empty my poor abandoned livingroom! My gut feeling is that I will be throwing away/ giving away a lot! (Like the box of VHS tapes I dumped in the 'free pile' at work this morning!!! :)WhatIfWeAllCared?https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206084253488718796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376245541160365012.post-36128653647894753652013-03-25T11:46:32.163-04:002013-03-25T11:46:32.163-04:00Thank you, April!

Then I'll know if I'm refinishing the floor or laying a new 'wood' floor.<br />This room will undoubtedly take mor time than until Easter Sunday, but I want o see how much I can get done by then~ and within 31 total days!WhatIfWeAllCared?https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206084253488718796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376245541160365012.post-69089475813544968792013-03-25T02:33:02.452-04:002013-03-25T02:33:02.452-04:00We have a small house too and there was no way I c...We have a small house too and there was no way I could move everything out of our office. So I just kept moving it around and around. Not the most effective and I never got the completely cleared out room high but I had to make it work to maintain sanity in the rest of the house. Good luck this week. Can't wait to see the reveal!

But I have decided to put the shelves in the hallway, the camping supplies by the back door (almost time to put the tent back up for the summer!!!), and stack the rest in the family room (which we aren't currently using anyways). <br />I think the trick is to remember that it waill only be this way for a very short time.WhatIfWeAllCared?https://www.blogger.com/profile/11206084253488718796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376245541160365012.post-21401465231410764942013-03-23T10:01:51.096-04:002013-03-23T10:01:51.096-04:00Other than a few rambunctious cob webs, it's j...Other than a few rambunctious cob webs, it's just really, really cluttered! I have boxes of filing to organize, fishing gear, tools, stacks of extra blankets... etc. <br />I am So looking forward to this process and pulling literally everything out and pulling up the carpet to see if I have pretty wood floors underneath.
