Changes are happening...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you all having a great week.  I was busy working on a bunch of things the last couple of weeks, things I'm not ready to share yet, but I promise, I'll be sharing them soon.

I spent Saturday out in the garage that hasn't housed a vehicle in it since I moved here.  I've been using it as storage.   And Saturday I began cleaning and organizing it.
Sunday was super windy, cold and rainy so I worked inside.  I decided after using my studio for about six months, that I needed more storage.  I drew up some plans on storage to build and then decided to move a large armoire into the space, reconfigure it for my needs and paint it.  I haven't painted it yet, but I did get it moved but I had to remove part of the trim from the side of the top.  It's very large and very heavy.  For a few minutes I thought it wasn't going to win the battle, but I managed to muscle it into place.
And of course moving this means several other pieces of furniture (a table and rolling cart) had to be moved.  I also had to move the antique hanging scale in the studio to the west window since the armoire is now where the scale had been.
I dismantled the couch that I built about five or six years ago.  I needed a couch so I built it.  But since moving the living room to the smaller room and setting up the studio in the large addition, I no longer had a need or room for the couch.  I've been planning to dismantle it for a while, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, until Saturday night.  It came apart a lot faster than it went together.  But I recycled every piece of it (minus the fabric and batting) for use in other projects.
I also removed my grandparents old stereo.  I forgot to take a picture of it.  It was a very large piece of furniture that was really heavy.  When I first moved into the farmhouse after my grandparents passed away, I wanted to keep as much of their things around and incorporate as much of it as I could into my decor.  But as time has passed, I've been slowly removing most of it except for things that hold a lot of meaning to me.

There are other changes happening here and I promise to share them with you just as soon as I can.  Thanks for stopping by!
