Progress

For the past few days I've done very well with maintaining the house. I figure progress isn't really progress unless it can be maintained. So I won't allow myself to do any new project until my daily routines are done. It's been working quite well, especially since the new projects appeal to me far more than the daily grind and that always leads to household disaster.

I bought myself a houseplant to celebrate. I forgot to buy a hook, though, so for now it lives on the kitchen counter. It makes me happy to look at it. I love the vibrant green.


I'm setting up command central in the dining area. A friend was selling the desk at a yard sale, and I popped the $20 for it. It works well there, although I would rather not have to combine eating space with office space. There are many changes to be done in this room, but as I said before, I'm not starting new projects until my daily tasks are done. The room isn't perfect, but it's clean, and that's good with me.


My camera was acting up the day I took the "before" picture of my bedroom. It's blurry and weird, but you get the idea:

BEFORE

AFTER


One of the new projects is to turn our bedroom into a haven. I'll take pictures of the progress, unless at some point I decide that showing you pictures of my bedroom is too personal. A woman has to have SOME privacy.

I also love plants! I have the same kind right on our computer desk. I do believe it is poisonous, so I'd keep it away from Sprout!

just found this new (or new-ish) blog of yours. Thank you! I am a sucky housekeeper, LOL - which my charming spouse never ceases to remind me of, constantly. I am trying to do the FlyLady thing, with varied success. The past couple weeks it went all to heck in a handbasket, and you can't even FIND my floor. I did, however, discover that we DO in fact have a living room and most of a dining room. If only we had bedrooms...ROFLOL. One day at a time. my hardest job is ignoring the venemous criticism and doing my best each day and taking satisfaction in what i've done.
