Done: Week 1 Tasks
Hey, I made deadline this week!
Starts on page 54. I'll update with my thoughts as I make progress. Items in red have been completed.
Deep Treatment:
- Make a complete list of repairs and solutions.
- Vacuum and mop floors. I've told myself I must do this before I'm allowed to go to the Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday.
- Remove one item from your apartment. Just put it in my car. Will go in the Goodwill drop box on the way to the office tomorrow.
- Buy fresh flowers. I'm going to try to get my flowers from a different place each of the eight weeks of the cure. I also want to practice my arranging skills, if I have the chance.
- Sit for ten minutes in a part of your home that you never sit in.
- Look into earth friendly cleaning products. I'll also identify and stock up on all the cleaning supplies I need and haven't picked up since moving.
- Choose one room. Done. The Living Room.
- Gather pictures of rooms you love. The purpose of this item and the two following is clearly to begin to develop a vision for the room. I've been doing a lot of thinking and looking already, scouring design web sites and magazines and books and visiting every relevant store I come across, usually three or four times...I definitely already have a notion of where I'm going with this room.
- Start a style tray.
- Visit your favorite home store. Like wende, I've done this to the 9th degree. BB&B, LnT, Lowes, Home Depot, 10+ local furniture stores, four department store furniture departmenets, Ikea, the five antique stores nearest my apartment, and more specialty stores than I can count. Plus two craft fairs. And the internet.
- Set your budget.
Well done!! Yay for you!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, since you asked, I've posted a couple of links that will show you the general idea of the table I've been yearning for. Couldn't find an exact match on the company's website (it's a company that allows you to choose table style, leg style, wood, and stain, and then they produce your table the way you want it.)
