...shit gets done around here!
Husbie was out of town this last week and I needed to keep myself busy to help pass the time. There's only so much cleaning around the house I can do until my fingers turn into raisins. I have had (and still have) a long extensive list of projects to do around the house.
Some of the things you would find on said list:
Update ceiling fan in office
Attempt to hang TV on [crumbling] lath and plaster wall...
Paint new desk for office
Paint new dresser purchased for Vintage 202
Organize studio space above garage
Get office back into working order
The list really goes on and on...
BUT, I accomplished at least a part of each of the things on the list:)
I have been overwhelmed with all the work that needs to be done in the yard that I have decided to take a hiatus for the week. Best decision this year - I got so much accomplished!
Since purchasing a new computer I really wanted to make my office a space that I enjoy being in for long periods of time for blogging, shopping, researching etc.
Mission accomplished! I am obsessed with my new desk! My old desk was super large and had the file drawer right in it - so nice! Unfortunately the new one does not, although it is still fairly large (in a different way). I will be showing you guys how I managed to keep the filing system still accessible while being semi tucked away at the same time.
I was also able to update the fan blades with a couple of coats of paint - supes easy. Although the blades haven't made it back onto the fan so we will see how it turns out shortly:/
The rest is coming together slowly.
I still have a few shelves to hang, some furniture to select and some art to display:)

Another thing that I have been really not wanting to physically do - organize my studio space. It's hot and sticky and dirty and just such a mess! [Don't be confused - it's the most amazing space I could dream of. Exposed beams, old wood floor, huge ceiling height etc.] I really didn't have any idea how to organize this in a way that makes sense.
I have so much stuff up there from old windows from the house to old doors that we no longer are using to furniture that needs to be restored and sold. Motivation kicked into high gear and I made it work. Surprisingly.
The biggest challenge - at least it was in my head - was getting our big TV hung on our crumbling plaster wall.. I hate having to dust around it on the cabinet and having it hung looks soooo much more updated and clean:) It was rather simple, actually. I recruited my aunt to help me with this project [among most of the others] and she was quite hesitant in the beginning. She didn't want to have any part in the possibility of the house falling to the ground. After a short half hour or so (and two margaritas later) we had the TV hung! I couldn't believe what I was seeing - it looks so amazing on the wall! It motivated me to hang a few pieces of art too:)

I encourage you all to complete some of those nagging tasks that you have been meaning to do for weeks/months/years! I want to hear about your progress!

Our little pooper head turned FOUR earlier this week!
She still acts like she's a puppy tho... Maybe she didn't get the memo.
