I currently have over a dozen ads listing things for sale. I must get the things out of my little house so I can clean, paint and then rent it out. Tonight, I sold a patio set bought at the close of last year. I won't be needing it, since there is a wooden table and 4 chairs, plus an additional two lounge style wooden chairs at the bed and breakfast house already. The sofa and two matching chairs need to find new homes and the extra beds, too. My bedroom suite will go into the spare bedroom in the b & b house. I would prefer to sell the antique cream set that is there and I won't need that queen size bed or the double bunk beds. Since the mattress on the sleigh bed in the Master Suite is top of the line organic, but soft, I cannot use it either. It will go on my bed frame in the spare room and my chunk of organic rock like foam will go on the sleigh bed in the master suite. I wish I had the resources to get the carpet out of that room. I might just tear it up and paint the plywood floor for now, though the furniture is too hard to move on my own, so maybe not. Decisions, decisions.
This afternoon, I spent some hours working in what is to be the farm store. I moved some of the cupboards to the garage and the other things are outside under a tarp. Hopefully we won't have a torrential rain storm which will whip that tarp away and soak everything. My fingers are crossed. Once the interior of the store is painted I am planning to paint the cupboards for a more uniform look and then begin stocking the store. It will be a mix of handmade soaps and creams, herbs, essential oils and things I own that I no longer wish to, such as my mother's fine china and crystal. I am not sure who will even come to the store, but I will advertise it and hopefully those who are interested in collections and collector's items and antiques will come, plus those who like organics.
So, the liquidation begins and will continue for the next five years. Even the property will be subdivided into four parcels and sold. My aim is to leave the farm with nothing - no possessions, nada. I know there are those who do not think I will do it. Shall we place a wager?
