Does anyone else love projects?  I really do.  I have a neverending list of projects to complete, and I always feel so good when I get to cross things off my list.  Well it seems that I haven't been doing so much crossing lately, more maintaining.  But, last week I did get this one nagging thing crossed off my list...

This little room is a screened in porch right off my kitchen.  I have had wonderful plans for this little room ever since we bought this house (almost 6 years ago)  but somehow it always becomes the catch all for, well... all.  My top plan would be to have a little table out here, something simple and quiet, where I could come in the mornings and read my Bible and have my coffee.  I have to settle for second best right now because I need to use this room for some storage, BUT NOT LIKE THIS PICTURE!!!  My SIL walked through this room a few weeks ago and I about fainted.  The horror!  So I just had to get it taken care of.  It now looks like this...

My mom gave me a cupboard to put out here and I'm going to keep all of my garden canned goods out here.  There are a few things left in there that I am going to sell in our yard sale, but other than that everything that I haven't used in forever got tossed.  On the other side of the room is a little art area for the girls' messy projects. 

The room is not perfect but it makes me smile when I look at it and remember what it used to look like.  Does anyone else ever do this.. I think is there anywhere in my house that I would be embarrassed if someone looked in? And then if I can think of something, it goes on the top of my project list.  One embarrassing thing is now crossed off.  Next on the list:

     1. Repaint and reorganize the schoolroom (again)

     2.  organize the craft closet

That's the top 2 of about 20...
