Before & After

Posting some photos of a few rectified Loose Ends in an attempt to keep myself motivated:

Half torn off sticker on cabinet for two months...
gone in two minutes with a little Goo Gone and a paper towel.

I have been meaning to paint and put knobs on this once-ugly 70s side table for about five years.
The cute knobs are from World Market -- one of my very favorite stores!

The mountain of boxes was from wedding gifts, which started rolling in around
September 2010. We put the blow-up mattress out there in November 2010
when we had family in town for our wedding. Then the sun room became a full-blown
toss-it-in-there-close-the-door-and-forget-about-it room, until I finally cleared it out last month.
And it took all of ten minutes to load up all the boxes and take them to the recycle bin down the street. 

It's really amazing--and ridiculous--how long I've put off some of these projects, when most of them take only a couple minutes to finish. Next up: finish my taxes (more on this later) and organize my office, which is unfortunately not a simple a two-minute job!

  1. Great Projects! You have inspired me.

    I've always noticed the same thing. My Dad, who always had a million projects to do, would just put them off or time would get away. Whenever he did do it, it took no time at all. So we have a saying in out house, the longer you procrastinate doing something, the less time it takes to actually do it. So keep putting off stuff! LOL j/k
