I am sure many of your homes look like this right now, too. I hate a mess in the house and so I am working hard to get this all done and cleaned up.
Got burlap? I have plenty. Actually bought too much, but hey I am sure it will eventually get used.
And this was delivered today. I finally got Mr. Savvy to break down and buy a new fridge. Our other one was seventeen years old and worked fine, but the ice maker went out years ago so it will be nice not to have to use trays anymore.
Also just a reminder that I am part of a group of bloggers who are hosting "A Homespun Christmas" link party and I am first up with vignettes and mantels. The party should go up around 8 p.m. eastern time Saturday 12-1 so get your posts ready to share.

ReplyDeleteSherry
I can't wait to see your home decorated for the holidays! Looks like a whole lot of great things in those boxes... Your new fridge is so pretty. I'm hoping one of these days ours will stop working so I have an excuse to go buy a white one. ;-) Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeleteI'm wading through boxes and bins of Christmas clutter at the moment too! Thanks for hosting :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Decorating! And thank you so much for hosting this party!

Besides thanking you for hosting, let me just cut right to the chase here: I SO ENVY YOU THE NEW FRIDGE....IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I have threatened, promised, cajoled, etc. to get the Headmaster to get a new one for our 'cottage' in Wisconsin, but...NOOOOO! I, too, am tired of the trays (and truly thought I was the ONLY one with them).
ReplyDeleteLOVE your blog, and thank you for all of your inspiration!
Nancy
Thanks for hosting, Kim! I'm sorry your house is in disarray, but I feel your pain. I'm right there with you. Hope you have a great week and I know it will all come together quickly and beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I am on the same page, except that I am decorating my mom's house and my own. Just got back after three hours decorating at her house and there is still more to be done. As much fun as it is, I keep thinking ~ we have to put this all away when the holidays are over! Oh, well, we do it anyway don't we? Thanks for hosting Kim. Looking forward to all of the special parties.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
I know exactly how you are feeling! I hate a mess too. Thanks for hosting, Gail
ReplyDeleteYes, looks familiar! I have so much going on I don't have time to finish before I'm going on a road trip. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDelete~Emily
I love the new fridge Kim. Ours is only 9 years old and the ice maker is kaput and has been for several years. We have a fridge with freezer on the bottom at the lake and love it. When the one here at home gives up the ghost I want one like yours.:-)
ReplyDeleteI did some selective photography for the breakfast room shoot today. Lots of clutter in the background and it is beginning to bug me. Can't wait to see your tree!
yep, I hear ya, I'm still decorating and the basement is a disaster area. Just linked up, thanks for hosting, Kim!
ReplyDeleteKim...my house looks worse....stuff everywhere!!...Love your new refrigerator...love that style!....Thanks for being the hostess with the mostest once again!!...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Kim. That first shot looks familiar. Hmmmmm, oh yes, that's what my house looks like.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. Wow, your new fridge is fabulous. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteMy house looks just like yours, Kim! Only my mantel is finished! Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting. Looks like the fridge is a great early Christmas present. My house looked like yours last week and I still have some decorating to do! There's always too many boxes.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, thanks for hosting! My house looks way worse than yours! No way of doing it without the mess! :)
ReplyDelete~Audra
I have the sun room to complete and then I'm done! I can sit back and relax, enjoy, bake, etc.. ;) Enjoy the new fridge! I know I can't wait to get ours.
ReplyDeleteKim, I couldn't take the mess either, so I decorated my tree and mantle in record time and got it out of here. I'm leaving some space in case I decide to add some new things. Thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Thanks so much for hosting! Enjoy decorating this week! My house is a decorating mess too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Doreen
Thanks so much for hosting! I agree with liking to get the boxes put away. It is always fun to get everything out and feels so good to be finished. Enjoy the fun!
ReplyDeleteKC
Kim, my house looks waaaaay worse than yours! It's driving me crazy, too. Leo told me to take a photo of it but I said NO WAY! I'm going to try to finish most of it tomorrow. Love your new fridge with the freezer on the bottom!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to be linking here this week, thanks so much for this wonderful party. Happy Tuesday!{Hugs}

Thanks for hosting, Kim! I can totally relate about the mess that holiday decorating creates. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting Kim! There are so many beautiful links here...you always have such wonderful parties! So glad to hear that you got a new fridge...I couldn't live without my icemaker...we would be headed for divorce because my husband would never fill up the ice cube trays! lol! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely party once again...had to come back and comment a little late...I linked up from my phone at dinner ;) Girl, Christmas has completely taken over our house. We are moving the mess from one room to the other til it finally makes it's way out to the garage.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting despite all the craziness this holiday season can bring. I like your new fridge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this party...can't wait to link up with the Holiday Mantle party!
ReplyDeleteKim, looking forward to joining the Holiday party and seeing what you do in your home this year. Thanks for hosting.......Sarah
ReplyDeleteAt least your mess is due to holiday prep! Mine is still a war zone due to the endless-fireplace-makeover. And I'm having a holiday party this weekend! So I will be burning the midnight oil, for sure. That's ok - I work best under pressure. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI so feel for you right now. The mess with the decorations going up and coming down is awful. Inspires me to get it done FAST :-) I know it will look great when you're done!!
ReplyDeleteMy spare bedroom is a disaster right now, Christmas stuff all over, not sure what is going up or staying in the bins. Thanks for hosting. You get such a huge turnout each week. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the party Kim!!! I can't wait to see your home all decked out for the holidays :o)
ReplyDelete~Des
Glad you got a new fridge. Not having an icemaker really is a pain! I will be back around for the party- can't wait to see all the entries. xoDiana
ReplyDeleteLordy I'm late but I made it. Thanks for hosting when you are so busy. Love the new fridge too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Kim. I've gotten so many page views the past two weeks from your party.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI try to be organized and stay with decorating one room at a time. Somehow I always end up jumping around and creating a mess. lol! Looking forward to the Homespun party. Thanks for hosting.
Hugs,
Jann
Enjoy your decorating!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting,
Carolyn
Thank you so much for hosting your party!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim: Thank you for hosting. I know what you mean--my dining room and living room are upside down right now, until I get things decorated! I'm super busy with life this week, but am trying to work away at it when I can. Take care, and have a wonderful rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new fridge. I keep thinking mine will go into fridge heaven but nooooo. Its hanging in their on life support. LOL Can't wait to see all your Christmas decor. Last year's was beautiful and I know we are in for a real treat!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the fridge and thanks for hosting! My house looks the same as yours and I too over-bought burlap. I have a few yards of natural and white just waiting to be used. I'm thinking maybe a Christmas runner...hmmm... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, this is a great party - lots of Christmas and lots of painted furniture (my fav's). Thanks for hosting. That was a lovely roll of burlap. Can't have too much on hand!
ReplyDeleteJoy
Thank you for a great party Kim! And congrats on your new fridge, it is amazing how great it feels to enjoy new appliances (even if it's every 17 years :)
ReplyDeletexoxo, Tanya
I have motivation to decorate our mantel now!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I worked ALL DAY yesterday getting up my decorations... now, to let the shopping begin. YUK! I am NOT a shopper. LOL! Have a wonderful Wednesday, Kim! blessings ~ tanna

I am like you can't stand things out of order, and would be working like crazy to get it all taken care of. Can't wait to see how you are decorating. Love the frige:)
ReplyDeleteOH MY!I can relate! I have been tripping over decoration boxes since Friday. It is driving me crazy! I am hoping to finally have it all done by this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe top six are certainly worth taking a peek ok, so all's well that ends well. Now get the mess cleaned up. Then come tell me to get mine cleaned up too. Otherwise we are both going to have to come up with a clever way to decorate bins for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBliss

ReplyDeleteDoing the same over here with the mess~ thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I love seeing the behind-the-scenes shots of your house! Makes me feel a little better about my own mess, and would you believe I haven't even gotten a lot of my Christmas decorations out yet? Not sure where the time goes each day. In any case, great link ups again, as usual. Thanks for hosting. Have a great week, and enjoy that new fridge!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Thanks for hosting..Decorating also means messes. Resting my back.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see the first two pictures in this post. That's exactly what my house looks like. I love Christmas, but I hate the night quite decorated stage. Sadly, I still have Halloween stuff out. Where did November go??
ReplyDeleteLOL we'll all be ready for Christmas by February!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting another great party and congrats o the new fridge! :)
