14 Days and Counting

Time to check in and see how my 40 day challenge is going.  Today I am on day 27, with only 2 weeks left. Lets see where I am at...


I already crossed off:
Painting stairwell wall & upstairs hallway-
Re-paint stairs and rails-

This time I can add:
Installing gallery wall on stairwell wall- Done

You can read more about it -Stairwell Gallery Wall.  I am really excited on how it turned out.


Touch up trim paint in Living room
- Done
This is not a big reveal, but one of those things that needs to get done.

 












Sand and poly 5 chairs- Done













I am sad to say that I am throwing in the towel on the rest of my list.  Sometimes you just need to now when to say when.  And I am saying when.  These projects are going to have to wait until after our family vacation. 

Make curtains for Living room and Dining room- No Progress
Make curtains for sons room- No Progress
Fix hole & create shelves-(Upstairs Bath)-
Patch and paint walls- (Upstairs Bath)-No Progress
Make curtains- (Upstairs Bath)- No Progress

So I guess the question of can I do it in 40 days is...

  1. "Throwing in the towel"? Girl, you rocked it! The stairwell looks fantastic, and you accomplished a tremendous amount. I wouldn't call it "throwing in the towel", I would call it taking a well deserved break. I was beginning to wonder why I couldn't get as much accomplished in the fixer upper house we're living in. I would go and go and then drop. Then I'd see your project list and feel like I was wasting time. Reality check...we need to balance time spent. My projects never end, my kids' childhoods do.

  2. But you did accomplish a whole heckuva lot! Funny how you can get the paint projects done in a snap. I would have gone for the curtains! I always psyche myself out that painting and sanding takes too long.

  3. Wow, your stairway gallery looks AWESOME! I hope you don't mind if I copy that and give you credit of course. I have a stair way a lot like yours and the other side is one big empty wall. I have pics that I need to get framed and put up. Plus make room for my newest addition. :) Enjoy your upcoming family vacation! :)
