Inspired Holidays {Day 18}:: Finish Home Decorating Projects {Please Tell Me I’m Not the Only One!!}

Better Homes & Gardens

Remember way back in February when I talked about progress on a project in our son’s bathroom? {crickets} OK so maybe you all forgot by now. I don’t blame you. But yeah, I started a project nearly year ago and in case you were wondering you haven’t yet seen the finished project. That is because, well, it is because I’m not done.

Wait. I’m am actually, well, basically done.

Done, except, I haven’t yet cleaned off the paint I got on the mirror. REALLY? HA! Yeah. A year after you start there is STILL paint on the mirror? Ah, yeah. It has been that way since February.

And, that is ALL it would take to be “done enough” to call the bathroom finished. Cleaning the mirror. The bathroom isn’t perfect, and there is more I could do, but before the holidays I’d at least like to say it is DONE ENOUGH.

And I might even show you some pics in a couple of weeks, we’ll see if I can put “take pictures” on my to do list.

Do you have projects like that? Ones that you started but are ALMOST done with? Now would be a good time to make yourself a list of “last minute decorating or projects to finish before the holidays.” Especially if they involve main rooms like your kitchen, guest bathroom or main living areas!

I’m not suggesting you start brand new projects right now, although I AM famous for STARTING projects around the holidays! I work best under pressure. Like last November when I decided to paint our dining room. And of course, there was November 2007 when I was working on another bathroom project and the whole dead rat incident happened.

Holidays and parties are definitely a motivator for me to start and theoretically finish projects. Let’s put that theory to the test and see how much we can FINISH before the holidays.

Do you work best under pressure?

Holiday Project: Glittering Ice Sculpture

We are going to make an ice sculpture! I have to admit, I never thought I would attempt to make an ice sculpture. I've joked about this before, in fact, that is HOW SURE I was ice sculptures would not be a part of my holiday plans. But this project … ** Read more **
