My treasure in the garage challenge for August was slightly disrupted by my resignation but it has still been chugging along. I have changed the theme to ‘Shop in your house’ as I have found it is not just a matter of finding treasures in the garage – they are everywhere in your house once you start looking. Last week’s treasure was resurrected from my mother-in-laws garage – she had been storing our old records for us while we had been building our house. I then rearranged furniture in the house to get a bookcase to hold our records, dusted off the record player and hey presto had a new entertainment/library area. We are really enjoying listening to old memories – a lot of the records are from our teenage years, over 25 years ago, with some not so wise buying decisions along the way! My mum visiting yesterday commented on our new bookcase so I had to explain my shop in your house philosophy. It is a great way to get a new feel to your house without spending money.
