OKAY you asked for it......

I like old nastalgic things ..so the desk is my moms

the lamp is one I picked up at an estate sale

thats one of my van gogh prints on the wall( he is my favorite artist)

and if you can see them one of my many book shelves with my cookbooks

it was christmas time when I took this so thats gretchens toy stocking hanging on the wall

a metal storage locker..my handy dandy elec tool/screw driver..shoe box has seeds in it....

and robes ans coat hanging from hooks..

and on the printer that day was my address catch all box for when I am to lazy to write addys in my address book...I shove addresss I cut from envelopes..and small note cards for thank yous and such...

My husband is a nerd...likes it tidy, so I have to hide my clutter and my other fun stuff...unless I can sneak it somewhere...

Now that looks more "normal." Shannon's is so clean it scared me a little bit.

I only hide things when I worry that I might offend the person who is looking at it....
I would love to be properly tidy...but I unfortunately SU** at it.....
I can clean all day and be none the better for it by evening....
once in my life...I had an all white and cream living room...and I had to ban everyone from it....
my life revolves around "life"
my clutter is necessary....
Ellie you are too funny....and thank you for being nice...I understand...LOL....( my other half IS NOT tidy...AT ALL)

If I took a pic of my cooking process, you would see the TRUE messiness.
