UP in the ATTIC*

.....So glad the long Memorial Day weekend is finally here!
Planning to organize the storeroom a.k.a attic... Not really looking forward to this task, but I am going to force myself & drag myself up there... It's either this weekend or NEVER! I've been postponing this labor of 'un-Love' since March of this year... "I must-must-MUST !!!"
.
errr...errr...just hope that I won't find any skeletons up there... BOOH!!!
Actually my friends are willing to help...but I'm quite embarrassed to let them see all the junks I've been collecting throughout the yearsss... Do you know that I've been collecting dust and spider cobwebs too??? (I'm dangerous like that!)...Ewww-Yuck !!!
.
~My 'store-room' should look more like these...
[One day...perhaps-perhaps-perhaps*]
Some le sigh* ATTIC inspirations - take a tour...
.













.
~I've noticed that most people have converted their attic space to a guest bedroom or a family den...Aren't they dreammmy...
...le sighhhh* ~INDEED!
Well, wish me all the best...and I would come back down
in one piece! ~"errr...spiders please be nice to moi please???"
I better wear my Ninja Costume up there! ...hmmm? Come to think about it, I might actually find some lost and forgotten treasuresss...perhaps-perhaps-perhaps!!!
.
" Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend Darlingsss..."
.
~PEACE* !!!

  2. I wonder if any *real* people actually have rooms like that.

  3. I wish I were there to help you. I could use the distraction from my own cluttered-up life.:) Will you show the finished creation? I want to see. Seriously, take your friends up on helping you!!!!

    Love all the photos!

    I could hibernate in any one of those rooms, except for the bathroom and I don't want to hang out there. I kind of wish I had an attic to store the junk I have collected, that I now need to rid my life of. I am wondering, what the hell was I thinking when I thought I had to have this stuff? Oh yes, it was a bargain at the time. And I have decided that from now on I will no longer be the romantic when I am looking at things at thrift stores, yard sales, etc. and think of a most impossible story to go with the item and therefore, needing to rescue it and make my home its home. Nope, no more creating stories to go with things that will attach me to them for all eternity.

    OK, can you tell I need a vacation from myself!?!

  5. the 4th photo, the simplistic white room, is really close to what I kind of imagine my "get away room" to look like.

  6. I feel like seeing you in a Ninja costume :)Well our old house has one like an attic and it's been awful. I've kept saying "someday, someday" and it hasn't come yet for these 25 years.
    I really wish you a good luck!
    but don't forget to enjoy your holidays.

  8. Good god! I wish MY
    attic looked like any
    of those you featured
    here! I'd never want
    to come down!

  9. O.K., I am officially experiencing 'Attic Envy'! For yours AND all of the great ones you chose to share with us. My husband and I live in a little 2-bedroom, single-story duplex. And we only have a tiny 1-car garage, which is used for storage! Needless to say, it's NOT enough space!
    So, either we need an attic, or we need to start chucking the tchotchkes...

  10. The white room are the best. I love the one with the mattress on the floor with the net around it. I hate cleaning. I'm really good at it though. I work fast so I can sit around and enjoy my clean house.

  11. What wonderful looking attics!! So so charming and some of them actually seem comfortable!

    But for cleaning it up ----- I am no one to counsel on that issue. I have been putting off some office type work that has been around for months.............

    Let's have a race. Your attic and my office with all the mail that hasn't been opened yet or filed.

    Love, exciting and new
    Come aboard. We're expecting you.

  41. nice post & blog! my attic was actually remodeled to be a living space/storage(my idea and i was 13 at the time- i'm just proud of myself lol) anyway you can buy trampolines online at about 100 bukos (which i think is really cheap)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I loved the contrast between second and the rest of the pictures. Those should give you enough inspirations (O: I hope you made a good start! Have a lovely Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh what I'd give to have an attic
    I guess I'd probably just fill it with more junk rather than convert it though.
    One can never own too much storage space.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh Goodness...I hope everything went well,sorry for my later than late comment.

    I loove attics but they are indeed creepy so definitely try and have a buddy. Hope you brought tissues for the dust ATCHOO's.

    Those attics make me want to have an attic so bad, I loove the angles of them. They are all wonderful..it'd be oh so cozy on a rainy day, with a book and some tea..ooo...or some du vine.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh, organizing! I'm still doing that after our move a few months later. I wish you luck!

    These attics are dreamy...

    ReplyDelete
  46. I have always wanted to live in the attic! But my grandma rented it out :(

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow some of those attic rooms are amazing!! I would love to live in the attic if it looks like that!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Good luck with all of the organising! I think I should probably sort out my closet properly this long weekend. I do wish my attic was a cosy space to escape into, but alas, it is just boxes of long forgotten items and random suitcases.

    ReplyDelete
  49. If those pictures don't inspire you, NOTHING will!

  50. What a cute new hearder, dear.

  51. This must be fun...I love reorganizing and refurnishing rooms...and attics are spaces that allow you to be more creative than a regular room. Maybe you'll post some pictures at the end, so we can see what you have done:)

  52. These images are so beautiful! Gorgeous blog xx

  53. These attics are amazing! I have always wanted to finish an attic space and make it a special hideaway. Truly inspiring!

    Good luck on the attic project. I hope you're having some fun this weekend too!

  54. I adore those bright attics with their slanted roofs.

  55. Lenore, I will keep my fingers crossed that you will emerge safely and that some loving soul/ghost will contact, While you were out or Nate Berkus, and someone will transform your now clean attic into a gorgeous and peaceful oasis. OMG...How about a "blogging Suite ala Martha Stewart circa your post 20090423? I'll start my prayers, chants, begging..

    HUGS I send you some lots of moral support to make your task lighter.
