Tuesday's turn-a-round

Well, it took longer than it should have, but you all are probably familiar with the book "if you give a mouse a cookie". That's what happened here. I emptied the closet onto the table, started sorting, had to come upstairs to get the other tubs that I was sorting sewing stuff into, took them downstairs, that meant re-arranging tubs which meant I had to go back up to find some empty ones I had in one of the bedrooms, when I did that I found the box of winter decorations which I needed since I took all my fall stuff down & filled one of the tubs with that......
Well anyway of all the stuff that I pulled out of the closet, not one thing went back in. Garbage, goodwill, scrap pile & give-away. I have a few tubs of sewing stuff that will go in a different place.
The closet is now filled with my seasonal decorations, home decorations that I'm not currently using & baby/little kid toys that I've saved for grandkids & visitors. (And yes, I know I still have too much stuff I've saved!)

While I was in the middle of trying to finish all this, I also was in the middle of doing a quick pick-up to my living room, pulling the chairs out to vacuum & the thought hit me that I sure wished I could change things around a bit..... So when my sister dropped by for a bit, I said hey, what do you think it would look like if I moved the couch..... so another delay while we re-arranged the living room furniture, then I had to do vacuuming where it had been, then I had to get rid of a few more things & clean up a bit more, and whoo whee! Not only did I get my closet finished, I got my living room all vaccumed, re-arranged & cleaned up too!
I realize that you don't know what it looked like before (thank goodness!! LOL!!) but here's what it looks like now.

I have always loved re-arranging my furniture, but never tried the couch in the middle of the floor thing before. Everyone loved it because they could all sit closer to the fireplace!
