Projects Completed in the Last 12 Months

When I see the following list, it makes me wonder why we procrastinated getting all of this done before. It would have been so much easier to do a few more projects every year than waiting to do them all in 12 months- especially the tile projects! I am looking forward to getting some rest. If our house sells, that will be good, but we might have to start all over again.  If our house doesn't sell then we will just have maintenance, but no new house projects! That would be good, too! OK, there might be one or two projects we would do!!!

Here's the list of projects completed in the last 12 months. The projects with the * by them were completed since January 1. I can tell you there hasn't been a single weekend where we didn't work on projects.. Most weekends we worked both days. We did have a few where we worked only one. Whew!

Are we crazy or what? Of course this list doesn't tell the whole story because there were lots of projects within those listed. All of you diyers out there know what each project entails - the numerous trips to the big box store, Walmart, Homegoods, TJ Maxx and Marshall's! And all of the choices! It is so much easier to help someone else make decorating choices for their homes than to make a choice for ours. Are you the same way?

I enjoy doing diy projects around the house, but I am glad our house projects are finished...... for now.

Have a great day!
