Good morning! How was the weekend? Here on the island, the weather was pretty typical for spring: sun, wind, crisp air, rain, fierce looking clouds, threats of thunder, snow and hail, and clear night skies.
I spent the entire weekend getting caught up on the things which were long overdue: taxes, paper filing and shredding, hanging pictures, sorting out clutter, cleaning cabinets, and doing some errands. I stopped over at Cameo Boutique to give Lisa the print she won from my "SMALL THINGS BIG LOVE" contest back in February and I fell in love with her shoppe, all the furniture, and caught the bug for DIY furniture painting. I've been dreaming of redoing some of my cabinetry in a matte, rustic black and when I checked out the price of the chalk paint she sells, I was sold! As soon as I can wipe some projects off my slate, I will be getting ready to do just that!
It feels so good to have the clutter and nagging chores out of sight and off my plate. I cannot stand doing home filing and such because it's all I do at work, but it feels amazing to get those monkeys off my back for at least another year.
Spending time reorganizing, paring down and decluttering has helped propel the feeling I had back in January of transforming my home into a space I feel joy to be in. My brain is swirling with ideas of how to redefine this little home of ours. More decluttering is first on the agenda! And some script art for the walls. Black curtains and furniture paint. New black frames for photos and I'd love to reupholster my couch and chair in a black fabric, or leather? Find some throw pillows, a new area rug, paint the kitchen cabinets, and get a new front door that lets light in. Oh, and I need to find a little extra time somewhere to execute these things, but I'm sure in time, things will all come together. Bit by bit.
Anyhow, it's time to start the week and time to write a schedule for me to get creative work done--this week's challenge.
Happy Monday, friends!
