BEDM - Day 7 "Home Sweet Home"

Books, stuff and more stuff makes my home sweet.

Probably too much 'stuff'!

 

 

Mr B stayed in digs in Edinburgh earlier this year. It was a family home with some amazing artefacts.

Whilst having a chat with the owner, he mentioned that we have more things than we really have the room for and the overflow is kept in storage.

"We rotate things" to which the owner said "Like the British Museum, you have seasons."

 

 

Those who've followed for a while may remember a couple of years back when our flat was "refurbished".

 

 

Belongings were packed up and stored for several weeks.

The family house down the road had two crates worth.

Yep! We needed FIVE of these wooden crates

We had five!

 Zxx



Mayhem!

We knew it was coming...

Towards the end of last year we were informed that the council was going 'to do up' our flat as part of 'Decent Homes' initiative-thingy.

That time has suddenly been thrust upon us. The kitchen designer is coming on Tuesday and the work begins the following Wednesday!

Meanwhile, we have a wedding reception to go to a week on Monday!

I know it is going to fabulous when it is all finished; plus we will decorate afterwards and probably put down more laminate floors, but, and it really is a big but, (does my butt look big in this??), basically we have to move everything out of our home leaving just the walls standing.

This collage picture below is just one shelf's worth of a bookcase!

The top picture is nearly all the books from one bookcase.

The other collage is some of what was left in the bar that I had started clearing here and here.

Remind me...never buy anything ever again!
