Exhausted!!!!

  Today I went into the garage to look for items for my yard sale that is next week. It was overwhelming. We have a lot of plastic bins half with the lids on half with out and everything was dusty . I had the boys help me empty out all most all the boxes and wash them out . Then we put things for the yard sale to the side. Our yard sale pile was puny to say the least!!!!! I did organize and find treasures that I had forgotten I had. Tons of hubby books were dusted off and put in the bookshelf. I found my wedding dress in a  card board box!!!! Gasp!!!!! It actually still looks good and I found my headpiece!!!!! I swore I had the headpiece and veil inside and was looking thru my closet a few weeks ago and going crazy!!!!! I also found some of my daughters outfits from when she was a baby thru toddler.They have been tucked away almost 20 years!!!! A lot of the styles have come back , lol!!!! I had bought her a black suede  coat with faux leopard print trim from Lord and Taylor, luckily I saved it. I think she was better dressed than me back then.
  I also found family photos and hauled those back in!!!! When I saw all the boxes I brought back in I thought I was going to cry. I actually went thru them and condensed everything, threw out some items and am now resting because I am exhausted!!!!!!

Paint colors

Yesterday we went to Menards to look at paint colors.We chose two reds to sample for the outside of our house. The first is a barn like red and the second is a burgundy red. We thought we would really like the barn red from the swatch but when we painted a section of our house the second color stood out to us.It is really hard picking out paint colors for the outside because you really don't want to repaint if you hate it. Here are the samples on the house.The first photo is the garage it hasn't been primed yet.We think we might paint the garage the barn red.

Garage

The garage is almost ready to paint.It has been scraped ,and I think next week I will prime it.I am still not sure what color we are painting it. The weather has been crappy here,it is either raining or extremely humid.Not ideal for painting.I am hoping for some sunshine!!!!!! Here is a preview of the garage.
