Some DIY........ this weekend I am going to DIM.....Do.It.Myself.
One of the rooms I love the most in my house is the Laundry Room.
It is also the room I hate the most when "everything" gets dumped in it.
So this weekend I am gutting it, throwing a little paint on the walls, sorting, chucking things, re-organising.....
I am excited.
I love taking on home improvement projects.
It grounds me...gives me purpose...we often do it as a family but Allan has papers to write and marking to do so he is only available for consultation (and intervention in dire circumstances!). The kids will pitch in, I am sure,.....with commentary and advice if nothing else!
Starting a project and finishing it is a great feeling of accomplishment.
I am sure it won't look gorgeous all the time and we will revert to our old "dump it in the Laundry Room and close the door" ways soon enough.....
But this weekend victory over the Laundry Room will be mine
My "after" photo's will not rival these beauties (due to my lack of a large budget, a crew of professionals and an interior designer....to name a few reasons) but I am sure I will be happy nonetheless.......one can dream....
Attempting wholehearted living in a busy but beautiful life, facing 50 with grace and trying to make sense of what the days throw my way. Documenting my life as I see it.
