Hall Closet … yet another distraction
This house is all kinds of half finished projects. I get one project to a point of somewhat functionality and then move on to another area because we’ve reached our tolerance threshold for the mess there. It feels like I’m fighting a wild fire –where embers keep starting little fires all around me. I have the BIG MAIN fire in my peripheral vision at all times but I have to maintain the little ones too so they don’t get out of control.
Or maybe this is what it feels like to be a chicken without a head. I’m not sure which analogy fits better as I’ve never actually fought a wild fire OR been a headless chicken.
What I do know is that it feels chaotic but also feels like this is how I HAVE to tackle this house. So while the laundry room, kitchen, living room, dining room and entry are all still not done I have once again sidestepped into another project! The hall closet. Remember this one? When I had my handymen here helping out after I had my back surgery I had them do a few random projects that had nothing to do with the kitchen — because I was just so excited about all the stuff that could get hammered out FAST by someone OTHER THAN ME. 🙂
And since the closet went in, the armoire (that was sitting in the empty space where the closet is now) has been sitting in the hallway (along with lots of the previous kitchen drawers that we sift as we need something in our half functioning kitchen). It’s a bit ridiculous!
The armoire holds a lot of crap that has nowhere else to go because there was NO STORAGE IN THIG HUGE HOUSE! None except the bedroom closets.
N-O-N-E! (eye roll — head shake–grumble!)
Sooo…this has been fun to walk through all day, every day as we go downstairs, upstairs or to our bedroom.
I just finally got sick of it so I spent the last week and a half working on the closet so we could actually put stuff in it. Because what good is a bare closet?
…to be continued
Hi Larua. I post as often as I have something to share or when I feel like it. Sawdust Girl is kind of my project diary — that I share with everyone along with helpful tips and tutorial to try to share my knowledge and experience. I’m sorry you feel frustrated about the content today but I can’t change my blog to suite every readers’ needs and wants. I’m just going to keep on keeping on with the way I share on my blog and let people figure out if and how they want to read it.
Yeah for wise women. LOL 😉 I don’t set goal but I do try to focus on small tasks. One at a time.
Looking good! To the commenter above, you can follow blogs on a service like bloglovin.com and whenever someone adds a post, you can see it on your app or have it emailed to you.
Hi there, I totally don’t mean to be rude. I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing your beautiful work however when I get to the end of post such as today’s, I get really frustrated. I don’t get a lot of free time in my day to spend reading the blogs I like. I mainly do it while nursingy baby and therefore when I spend the time reading your post and get to the end and find a to be continued I feel like my time has been wasted. I’d much rather spend the time reading a longer post with a reveal then get “teased” and feel like in order to finish what I’ve started I now have to keep checking your blog to see if you’ve posted the results, which takes up more time. I’d rather have fewer posts with more content than small teaser post more often. My time is precious as is yours I’m sure. Please just let us read about a project in its completion.
Thank you.
will the closet house coats and such or is it to be a utility closet? It looks beautiful. Love how the floor flows from one area to the next.
Remember to take deep breaths during the day and set small goals for yourself. A wise woman recently explained the value of goals with time expectations set on them. That advice is working to motivate me to work on my project every week.
Do you have a realistic goal when your house will be complete? Better still, do you have goals for each room?
