Time off

We interrupt this blog to happily report that the blog's owner is expecting baby #4! However, this does mean that, unhappily, there will most likely not be any new projects posted for the next 6-9 weeks while the blog owner's head is stuck in her toilet. Rats.

Very, very strange

I'm not sure where my last post disappeared to, but I didn't remove it. Strange.

No matter, since I missed my deadline on the kids' room, anyway. Boo, hoo. Last week was a sort of black hole as far as productivity goes, so I'll try to get back on track soon with these projects.

It's a Wash---the Laundry Room "before" shots

Ok, I'm back home, reeling from four days away at a MOPS Convention, and trying to get myself back into reality. My bedroom stayed quite presentable while I was out, and now I'm feeling the need to set another goal: the laundry room.

My goal is to finish this room by the end of the day on Thursday, October 9th.

"After" shots---Master Bedroom!

Whew! That was wonderful! I love having a self-set goal, a clear recognition of which area of the house I'm supposed to be focusing on, and the accountability of this little group cheering each other on. I NEED something like this to keep me going. I'm realizing how much I thrive on the knowledge that I will be able to SEE results and know my efforts are actually paying off in a timely manner.

So...(drumroll, please) here are my Master Bedroom "after" shots (and please excuse the cute little "lumps" on my bed):









I figure it's better to strive for progress than perfection, so if things aren't 100% done when I take the pictures, no big deal. Better that than falling into the "if it can't be perfect, why bother?" mentality.

Ahhh...now I just want to go hang out in my bedroom. Stay tuned for another set of "Before" pictures soon! I'm going to tackle the (dun, dun, dun)...Laundry Room!
