Disaster house!

For those of you who think my house is always clean, don't be fooled. I have a child, so it's impossible for my house to stay clean always. But lately it's been a whole lot more then just Coral messes around here. I have mentioned a time or two that I'm not a fan of renos right? I don't think I would mind so much if the mess stayed downstairs.

Here's what I'm talking about.






Andrew has been stockin up on some basement goodies (such as a tv, and speakers for the surround sound, wallpaper for the guest room, bathroom supplies) as they come on sale (smart right? We're not fans of buying things full price). So, he buys them, and they end up in this small little room because we have no place else to store them. Our garage has a mini ramp in it, so there is no storage space there, and our storage room currently looks like this:




Umm. Ya. That room WAS organized when the basement renos first started, but then it slowly got messier and messier as we added things, and took away things as we needed them. See all that stuff in the back right corner? That's all our baby stuff that I can't get at until the renos are complete.

Our guest room (Corals soon to be big girl room) has a mattress permanently on the floor until the renos are done (so our guests still have a place to crash in the mean time). Coral thinks its a dress up mattress, so it always looks like this:



And our master bedroom (that I'm suppose to be re-decorating because of the big ugly dresser remember) can't have anything else done to it because it is currently hosting a shelf that will go downstairs.




Junk junk everywhere. I'm ready for the basement renos to end. Andrew is ready for that too. We are SO close yet SO far from being done. Right now Andrew is working on taping and mudding the dry wall during all his free time. He's not a fan, and it's a slow process, but it's saving us almost $2500 by him doing it himself. Go Andrew go!

I'm guessing if I wasn't pregnant, the clutter around the house wouldn't bother me so much. But this pregnancy I'm going nesting crazy (I think it's because I actually know this time how little can be accomplished once you bring a new born home). I want to get this house, every corner and closet organized in good time before the baby comes.

So probs stay away from the Hodgson house for a while. If you happen to be so brave to venture over here, I might just hand you some sand paper and a mask and put you to work :) kidding.....maybe.
