Cents To Save: declutter challenge

I'm taking part in the February Declutter Challenge being run by Carla from My 1/2 Dozen Daily.

Tomorrow I will be going out to my home and this is what will be waiting for me in the garage. Not a new car, but stacks of stuff that came out of the two bedrooms we are repainting. I will be working on ~~this~~ these piles of stuff all weekend. In between the rest of the painting. It is going to be a busy weekend.

I was looking for the dog crate for days....... who knew it was in the garage...

This stack has plastic container of holiday decorations that I thought I could not live without. Obviously I can. I have not even opened a box of them in a year.

My mom's computer is hiding behind the decorations.....

This wheelbarrow is holding the totes that hold my Christmas decorations. Yep, I haul the totes from the back shed... in a wheelbarrow. I think a golf cart would be more fun. (we live on an acre)

This wheelbarrow has a flat tire.

Oh.... you might be curious as to why I still have the Christmas decoration totes in the garage and not in the storage shed...

This should answer your question. Yes, the Christmas is still up. I suppose I could use it for Valentine's Day. Hoping to get this boxed up.

I never got to finish decorating it.....

We have been painting at our house most of the weekend and yesterday. A lot has been accomplished, but there is a lot more to do. Tonight, we will be shopping for a bed that will be going to our house. If you remember, we are setting up two households. One at my house, and one at my mom's. This way when she becomes too weak or is not feeling that great, we can come down and stay with her or she and dad can pack a bag and come out to the house.

On to the challenges............

February is going to be a busy month so I am starting my De-clutter challenge early.Carla is holding a double challenge; a Low (No) Spend Challenge and a De-Clutter Challenge. I'm taking part in the De-Clutter Challenge only.

Reviewing my Goals for February:

Paint rooms: working on it.... and here are the pictures to prove it and keep me honest.....

This is mom's room, which was my grandson's room. The walls were a chocolate brown. We primed them and painted them the yellow my mom picked. We still need to go back and paint a third coat, that brown is just not going away. You can see the brown bleeding through the yellow....

This is my dad's room. It was the super bright canary yellow. Super bright. Mom picked a soothing bluish green color for his room. I really like this color. This room is almost done. Just have to finish painting the closet doors.....
