Today I have created this space to hopefully motivate myself to deal with what I call The Sow's Ear.
A cottage style house that we bought in August of 2006....so 5 years ago we bought a house that we knew should be gutted...if not bulldozed.
Life got in the way. Elderly parents, kids, work, school....and the bloody economy have consumed our time and drained our energy. Truly, I do not know where to start. I have maintained a NO BANDAIDS policy, in other words if it isn't an improvement I am not spending money or time on it. For example, the horribly ugly ceiling fan in the dining room.... until I can redo the room and light/fan it the way I want it....just leave it be. Why change it out when the ceiling needs work? However, I am really hurting for some beautification.
Other difficulties lie in: (not necessarily in this order)
1. We have a lot of crap. I am working on getting rid of it.
2. A college student who moves back every now and then.
3. A high school student....nuff said (although, he helps me more and better than anyone else).
4. ADD....we all seem equally easily distracted.
5. Time/resources/energy//$$$ never seem to align.
6. A very talented artist/craftsman/husband do all be all to too many.
I am certain there is more that I could list, but this will do for now.
So, there it is...overwhelmed and underfunded.
I will take and post pictures soon....will be interesting to see how this works out. Wave~
