WEEK OF REDECORATING, TAKE TWO I had intended to have a week of redecorating challenges a few weeks ago, but it never seemed to get off the ground. Remember my screened porch project? Yeah...

I am going to start over this week. My plan? To make one change/decorate/redecorate around my home, each day this week. I will only use materials and items that I already have around our house or yard. I will post before and after pics each day. The goal is to take an active role in making my home more beautiful, using small babysteps. I will post before and after pictures of each little project. Also, the flylady zone this week is the master bedroom, so I will be devoting special attention to cleaning this area of my home.

Here is a tentative list of projects that I would like to work on. Obviously, I won't get to them all this week.
-Decorate mantel for fall
-Paint chalkboard for Laundry room
-Spray paint baskets and find uses for them around house
-Finish organizing porch
-Move bench/table in front of fence, plant pots w/ flowers
-Clean off dining table, add tablecloth and centerpiece
-Paint boys beds
-Declutter and reorganize kitchen countertops
-Organize cabinet in bathroom (picture above), paint back of cabinet...maybe the pale blue of the boys beds? Or yellow might be cute.
-Hang bamboo curtain rods, make and hang curtains in living/dining room
-Clean up the yard. Pick up toys, take old strollers to Goodwill, etc.

Also, other projects I would like to tackle this week.
-Make and can pasta sauce
-Make produce bags out of old sheets

    Good luck redecorating. My house depserately needs, well, simply decorating. There is no "re" to it. We are working on our bedroom now. Laurel, I am just not good at it! Did you ever make those veggie bags?

  3. I've got too many projects going on at my house. I need to focus!!! I love how you make a plan first. Maybe I should do that instead of just jumping in and drowning. Jumping in is the fun part for me - staying afloat is another ballpark!

    Hey, you should put your post on "Tackle it Tuesday" at 5minutesformom.com I think lots of people could benefit from your thoughts!

    Oh, hey, btw... I'm SOOOO tired today! Just had to vent somewhere. :) Thanks! Let's get together on that thing they call a phone. taek care! :)
