What I'm working on

The Prop House

Being the treasure huntress that I am, I need a place to store, organize, and catalog my treasures.  It's no fun when they start to take over your living space.  Being a "perfectionist virgo", I tend to squirrel them away, out of sight where I've forgotten what I have.  Although many are in plain sight and are threatening to take over! My wonderful Mom, who rarely denies me anything has offered to let my use her garage which we've dubbed "The Prop House", much like my friends Eddie & Jaithan's.  You may have seen the post on the big yard sale they recently had from clearing it out to make room for new treasures.
 

Here's what my Dining Room currently looks like.

And this is our garage...  actually my husband's "mancave" which is currently under siege by my ever growing stash of treasures!

There is even more stored up here that I haven't seen in years!

It's been an ongoing process the last several months... but we are very close to it finally becoming a reality!  After clearing out and organizing several rooms in my Mom's house and countless garage sales and trips to the Goodwill, Salvation Army and local consignment shop, the garage is now empty.  The "good stuff" that was being stored in the garage is tucked under a tent in the backyard and we are putting up the shelving today!

under a tent in the backyard until we get the "prop house" set up.

My son Chris about to start assembling the shelving units.

A peek outside the french doors which lead out from the left side of the "prop house"  to the back garden where we will soon be able to hold private sales!

A look down the driveway.

I just picked up this amazing marquee of sorts which I think will work great to advertise our private sales!

Are you thinking I should try out for American Pickers?
