Tackle it Tuesday is a day when we show or tell about a project that we've completed. If you'd like to participate, visit 5 Minutes for Mom.
Remember the black entertainment unit that the tenant left in the apartment when he moved out? It was quite a mess, but made of solid wood. I decided to paint it and bring it downstairs.
Well, today hubby and our helper lugged that thing down the back stairs. It weighs a ton. Thank goodness that it is in two sections. They set it up and got the TV, DVD and Game Cube connected.
This is what it looked like when they were done. I did help a little but I have a writing deadline tomorrow, so was working on finishing up some articles.
Hubby remarked about how empty it looked, so I decided to fill it up. Won't he be surprised when he gets up to go to work tonight?
This is what it looks like now. I put all of hubby's crystal animals in front of the section with the mirror. On top I placed a couple of his bears and eagles. Then I added some of my headvases, a couple of fairies and my Gone With the Wind Scarlett figurine. She hasn't had a home for some time and was just sitting in the computer room being neglected. Now she will live in the entertainment unit.
After taking these photos, I realized that I hadn't added any autumn decor, so I will change it a little in the next few days. I am so relieved to have a place to display some of our pretties. Now to get the rest of the living room decluttered.
Take care and remember that life is too short to be working all of the time. Take time for you and spend some time having fun with your loved ones. ~Blessings, Mary~

Earlier in the day, hubby had been pulling lath and plaster off the ceiling in the living room so when the plumber arrived Monday he could access the pipes to the upstairs bathroom. So, not only was the computer desk littered with papers and other things that I was working on, it had a lot of plaster dust on it. The above photo is what it looked like.
Sunday I tackled that chore and this is what it looks like now. What a relief to have everything looking so much better. This room seems to get cluttered easily because of my writing. Thank goodness we are finished pulling down plaster, as I wouldn't want my new computer to be covered with all that dust.
