A little bit of freshening of the house

Over the years, it posted often about how hard it is to get rid of the lovely artwork and treasures. The kids have made me over the years. I love this stuff and I tend to hang it everywhere and never want to take it down. I’ve noticed some stuff has been hanging so long that it is literally degrading while hanging on the walls or the doors.

I started painting the hallway during this time away from work, and as part of it, I am finding that I want a cleaner fresher look. Yesterday I started taking some stuff down. I’ve cleaned off a couple doors. I want to empty our bedroom door as well. This has been hanging in her door for years and I love it. Clair made it as a Christmas decoration a few years ago. I’ve kept it up year-round for many years.

It’s coming down and going in the special bin that I tell myself I will look through at some point and smile.
