On the days when I can't be outside, I will be changing something around or starting a new project in the house. I was hoping to be much more productive so far this summer but my fellow Illinoisans know that we haven't had much rain yet.
Well, it drizzled today so I accomplished my first "Rainy Day Re-do"
My Little Things: Before
Decorating with "stuff" is new to me. Our old house was so small that we didn't accumulate stuff. Now I can't get enough! :) However, all of my built-ins were looking a bit unsettled.
I took some time (2 hours total) to take everything down and put it all back up again. I put it all on the floor where I could see it.
It was really hard to believe that I had this much stuff.

If we ever have a rainy day again, I will be updating my kitchen decoration and giving you and update on my Annie Sloan Painted Kitchen.
