This Little EstateWe’re getting really really close to being able to say that we’re mostly done with our little kitchen update!

Or the garage attic.Seriously, it was bad.. And I knew it was bad, but I didn’t really realize how bad it was.

I was so confused at why I would “declutter” every week by filling an extra garbage bag or two with stuff from the basement or random closets and yet I never really seemed to make a big dent in it at all.. You know all of those amazing built-in projects that Chris puts together?This is what happens afterwards in the garage if you don’t have any kind of system for storing all of that extra stuff..I was so tired of all of this.

I just wanted it out.I got it in my head that I wanted to rent a little dumpster and just take care of it all at once.

So after harping on that for a good 5 months, we finally got around to it this Fall.

Boy did we ever get around to it.. Chris called the dumpster rental company and I laughed so hard when this thing was dropped off in our driveway the next morning.And yes, the yellow carpet is still there!.

Of course, Kennedy was not super excited about the idea at first.She’s on to me and my passing my blog projects off as “crafts”.

I let her pick what kind of shape she’d like on her wall though and then she was all for it.. She must be reading blogs over my shoulder because trees on the wall are just the hottest thing in kids’ rooms right now..Here are the quick and easy steps!.
