LIGHTS

 

NO walk today... so I'm going to carry on with some de-cluttering around here.

I've found a home for a couple of things I put aside yesterday, so they can go in the garage till pick up.

I have a large drawer unit of Brylee's in the front bedroom, that she is taking back this weekend all going well.  

So I need to empty it of my stuff.

It's mostly papers, and I need to go through all that lot and only keep what is important.  I'm over hanging on to anything that isn't necessary.

It's actually a massive task when you really, really want to slim down your 'stuff' to the bare minimum.  

And that's what I want to do.

I am also going to get all my Card Making stuff down today, and get it on TradeMe.  I might as well try and recoup some of the costs involved in acquiring it all!

I already have one of our large wooden bookcases on TradeMe.  Hopefully it sells and gets out of my house!  It was in the middle bedroom and now that I'm getting rid of all my patchwork magazines and books, it's surplus to requirements as well.

I can't tell you just how good it feels getting rid of stuff you simply do not need!  I used to be a incorrigible 'collector'... but not any more.

IF I LOVE IT, I will keep it.  IF IT IS BEING USED, I will keep it. Otherwise, out it goes.

Isn't Stew lucky I love him.  😂😅😂

LIGHTS:  I will go out later on today and have another look for a light fitting, for our bedroom.  

Because there will be a large round space that's going to be exposed on our ceiling, once the existing fan/light fitting is removed, I'm thinking of getting something like this:

ABOVE:  I really LOVE this one!  But Stew is not so enamoured.  He was like "That's not for a bedroom!", but I disagree. (it's not as big as it seems in the photo btw)

It can be for anywhere, don't ya think?

ABOVE:  I do kinda like this style as well, but they don't have a large fitting for the ceiling, so some patching of the ceiling would have to happen.  And painting. Ikkk to painting.

Let's see what else I can find.

ONWARD...

OK.... so that would be a NO to those lights?

Audrey:  I am now thinking of just replacing the fan/light combo with a newer model. 

The current fan works, but swings in a wonky way, and makes quite a bit of noise.  AND the lights are utter shit, they do not illuminate the room at all.

So. While I adore the sparkly, dangly light fitting... I will listen to everyone and bin that idea.  *sniff*  😪😣😞

Now, on to what I've been up to this morning.

ABOVE:  I moved the large wooden bookcase out of the middle bedroom and replaced it with that cute little one that I bought a while ago.

The big one is being sold.  Hopefully it is gone soon.

I can now open the bedroom door completely, and the smaller unit takes up much less room.

ABOVE:  In the front bedroom was Brylee's rather large drawer unit.  I've asked her to take it back, so that will be gone over this coming weekend.  

I took the 2nd set of drawers that were in our bedroom, and put them in the front bedroom.

I will store all our 'papers' and odds 'n' ends in it.

And that's all I've done so far.  I might just head off into town now, to look at lights, fans bla bla bla.

12.53 pm:  Just back from town.  I looked at fan/light combos.  Quite a bit more than buying just a light, so I am going back to 'JUST A LIGHT'. 

I saw several options at a shop in town... so will drag Stew out to look with me in the next few days. 

ABOVE:  Some of the more 'sensible' options.  Though NONE of them tickle me fancy.

In fact, I goddam hate them all.

ABOVE:  ..... DROOLING......  so much bling!  bling bling bling.

ABOVE:  

What about this one?  It's got the bling, but not going overboard???  

It has four bulbs, so there's plenty of light... 

OMG Audrey:  I love your last comment!

I have been fluffing around ALL AFTERNOON!

I condensed our Britto/China Cabinets into ONE!

So now I can get rid of one of them.  

The bookcase I put on TradeMe sold in less than 24  hours!

And... that's a wrap on an excellent day.  I got heaps done, with HEAPS more to do.  But I have plenty of time to do it all.
