And, even though I've got plenty of projects, I just keep adding to my list. I recently made one little change to my living room which is turning into a complete makeover!
Oops.
I got a pair of these lovely French script chairs for Christmas. Well, actually... I picked them out and bought them and said they were my Christmas present. Does that count? They were a crazy good deal (of course or I wouldn't have got them!) but more on that later...
These beauties suckered me into adding "living room makeover" to my already long list. I'd been itching to do it anyway so these chairs were the perfect kick start.
So, besides the living room makeover here's what else I'm doing... because inquiring minds want to know.
This could also be called "Home Goals 2013" I guess. It is still January after all...

Speaking of big reveals, did you see my beach themed master bathroom reveal? Probably my favorite reveal to date!
*chuckle* I could have written the above. I get excited about projects too and do too many at once. My word for the year is focus. I need to focus on one project at a time until it is %100 done! I have a tendency to get it to %75 done and then I start on another project because I am burned out or got frustrated with the first one. lol I am s l o w l y getting better...I think. ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved your master bathroom reveal and know whatever you are working on will be a treat. :)

I feel for you with the too many projects under way and nothing finished. I'm in the same boat and have promised myself I'll finish something, anything, tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI so can relate...the too many projects and not enough time. But I had a good laugh this morning as I read your Christmas present strategy. I've been known to do the same thing to my husband. And yes, it does count! I think secretly my husband appreciates it from time to time! And once in a while...ok, more than once in a while he surprises me with a little something else on Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your projects, I look forward to seeing them completed!
Same here, just to much to even think about plus having a cold doesn't help! I just came back from viewing your beach bathroom, just one word "awesome".
ReplyDeleteoooh i LOVE the idea of having home goals! we are in the middle of renovating our house and i need to do that too :)

I laughed at the story about you picking out your christmas present. I do that SAME thing. My husband hates it....
ReplyDeleteThat is an ambitious list! I'd be lucky if I got half of that done! I love the idea of stencil-ing in the foyer...i would love to do that in ours....
One of the usual things that many normally do around January is a home renovation. Most of us feel that it's the perfect time to apply some changes in our home since it is the start of a new year. There are a lot of things that you want to do, huh? So in the list above, what are the things you've done so far?
