There
was still so much stuff in the spare room that I am not yet able to
progress with painting. However, I did manage to finally sell a few
items and gain a little money towards the next round of paint when
organizing for an antique/collector company to come out and view
everything in the hope that something might be of value to them.
A
few items sold, advice on how to clear the rest will now come into
operation and hopefully this ghastly room of cobwebs, dust, dead
slaters, and what is to me junk will finally become a pretty pleasant
pink-burgundy spare room.
The
next indoor task was the phone table. Since returning to live in my
father's house and then inheriting it, the modern bright phone sat
upon an old dark wooden chest of drawers; not a good match in my
eyes. I had plans to use the former TV table instead, which is made
of a lighter wood and more 21st than 20th century in appearance.
Alas, it was covered in stuff to sell...
One
morning, I felt energetic and decided to tackle the task. I was also
fed up of the hallway looking so bleak and 'Victorian'. Therefore I
braved up and removed all the clutter from the top and insides of the
table. Cassettes have been put into a beer carton for sale, plates
aside for valuation and sale/dumping, and other stuff crammed upon
the old settee. I then had a clutter-free table!
As
you can see, once I got the dirt and dust off as well as the stuff,
it could be taken into the hallway and given a good polish with lemon
oil. Much better, I think we can agree...
