perfect sunday

 Am sooo tired tonight!
Have spent the day moving furniture around the house after getting up early for my 6km Sunday morning walk with friends.
In the afternoon we were at Mum and Dad's in the pool ~ so now I'm ready for bed.
Now that all of my furniture has been painted brand sparkling new white, I am putting it back into place and de-cluttering and organising as I do it. Rooms are getting changed around so that they function better for us. It's a big job and one of those things that look a lot worse before they look better. Things in our little house were getting chaotic before so pretty much anything's an improvement.
With the new white furniture and spring clean my house is looking so much lighter and bigger, it's very encouraging to keep on going.
So here's the after and before shot of my corner shelf. It lives in my kitchen. I inherited this one from my sister. SO much better!

and just to prove today was a perfect Sunday,
here's my photo for the January photo a day challenge... DAY 8 "your sky"
Perfect Sunday to you too!

painting furniture

Here's a little bit of what I've been doing this week. 

I had a couple of days before I went back to work so my sister came over with her spray gun 

and we got down to some BIDNESS.

My whole house has been turned upside down and inside out, rearranged and 

de-cluttered {or rather ~ in the process of being}. 

During this we took a motley crew of items that I have begged, borrowed and stolen over the years 

and sprayed them white and now they look fantastic! So clean and fresh and they make my dark little house so much lighter.

This is my dining table ~ orange pine be gone!

My sister gave me the chairs when she bought new ones.

I also painted the frame of the print I got at the junk shop which was gold ~ remember? 

Not too sure - may be a bit contrasty ~ I can always repaint the frame later but will see house everything looks once it is all finishes. Now I have a new dining room rather than us being squashed in a corner of our sitting room. More pics too come - got to finish sorting! 

Everyone's de-cluttering  ~ how are you going?
