All spiffed!

IMG_9787
Its an amazing event, that only happens on very rare occasions. Its something so elusive and and fleeting, that I just have to snap pics when it actually occurs.

My whole house is all cleaned up at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I've shown millions of photos of my house. You are probably sick of them, but for me, its a beautiful and special thing to see- cleanliness.

IMG_9823 Fresh guest towels are hanging, the floors are shiny, and nothing smells like dog pee.  (I'll always miss my little Bookie guy, but man, is it nice to have his pee gone. I was a non-stop mopper while dealing with his illness)

Soon, I'll be welcoming a flock of Birdsong attendees, and I just hope that I can keep the house spiffy till then. Wish me luck!

I'll be busy getting ready for BirdSong this week,sorry I won't be answering emails or comments, but I will be taking time to read them.  And I'll chose a name from commenters to give a Birdsong memento to later on.

  3. Your home always inspires me to want to work on mine!!! And having it clean all at one time is such a joy!!! I never understand why I can’t keep it all clean, but when I start creating, it just seems to come undone around me. Enjoy it, and I know the Birdsong girlies will love it!!! It is beautiful and makes me want to be there!!!!

  5. lovely. it looks perfect. I always take photos of rooms when I’ve given them a good tidy, just to remind myself of how nice the house can look and to try and encourage me to stay on top of things.

    I feel the same way, My whole house is rarely all clean at the same time. Yours looks so lovely! I just announced a new scrapbooking supply swap. Come say hi and check it out!

  7. Karla, your home looks wonderfully inviting and I never tire of seeing photos of it. You are truly an inspiration! It is Gorgeous!! ^.^ And, the feeling of having one’s nest all clean and sparkling at the same time…sigh…absolute bliss! ;o} I know your Bird Song May Day Weekend is going to be a magical experience for all, filled with beauty and inspiration and fun. So wish I could be there, too! Enjoy! ^.^

  8. Your home is gorgeous, Karla. I have never seen photos of it before. It is nice to have everything clean and tidy at once. I don’t have enough hours in a day to do my whole house…just one room at a time!! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!
    XO,

  9. Your home looks beautiful Karla, its so nice when everything is clean as well as pretty. Its my constant struggle, so I can totally relate.I hope you have a wonderful event, looking forward to all of the beautiful pics.

  10. We always say there’s nothing like “company coming” to motivate house cleaning! Your house always looks fantastic – in the photos – but I’m sure it’s looking especially beautiful now with everything clean at the same time and all spiffed up. Have a wonderful weekend! Looking forward to lots of photos!

  11. OKAY Dear SISTER
    Your home is absolutley beautiful clean and picked up. But what makes it home for me to come to is they way you and Rich fill it with love and creativity. You are so full of Joy when you create that I hope it does not stay this clean for long! Your essence is all about love, creativity, laughter and most importantly YOU! Thanks for being such a special part of my life! I love ya sis!
    Your baby Bro misses you!

  12. Karla your home is beautiful! I hope I can visit you one day and play in your studio. I like what Randy said…….you’ve made your home YOURS and I’m sure everyone feels right at home when they visit. (especially with that yummy treat cabinet!)
    I really wish I could have made it to Bird Song but I couldn’t make it work this time. One day I WILL get there to see you and Beth!

  13. Karla I never tire of seeing your beautiful home with all of your personal touches. I completely understand how great it feels to have all of it clean and fresh at the same time. Usually Mr. C asks me if we need to have a dinner party since that it pretty much when the house get a total cleaning. Hahaha. Wonderful weekend to you…

  14. You have a very lovely house! Very beguiling! Victorian interior makes a dramatic atmosphere which gives tranquility to everyone. It may be Vintage but it’s classy and still marked as superior in design.

  15. Karla, your home is gorgeous and I never tire of seeing pictures of it! Even your pictures are artful. Love all your little details – perfection to the nth degree!! Good luck with Birdsong (it will be fantastic!) – and I can’t wait to see pictures of THAT! Hugs, Cathy K
