January Project

Day 5's of the Apartment Therapy Cure assignment is to choose 1 (1? only 1?) assignment from the previous list and get it done by the end of the month.

This proves to be difficult for me. I am one of those all or nothing kind of project managers. I get into it but then burn out too quick because I'm just too into it. I'm turning a new leaf.

These are my 2 big problem areas:


The Bedroom

I cheated a bit by purposely opening closet doors, putting stuff all over the floor and un-making our bed (it's totally pristine 100% of the time!.. ahem). Our bedroom is basically a gong show complete with random splotches of paint on the walls because I was too indecisive about which colour of grey was just right and instead have left it looking like the resident has a pretty awesome drug dependency.

next up..



The Kitchen

In keeping with the random paint splotches, I bring you our kitchen. It's gotten so bad that people we have over have started to ask questions.
"Um... what's with the paint on the wall?"

yeah.. those are the kind of questions you want to hear when you particularly pride yourself on your awesome eye for interior design.

The kitchen is directly to the left of our front door and is in it's original 1988 style which is why I think the kitchen takes top priority for this months challenge. The bedroom will get done. Hell, it might even get done this month, but I'm carving out time for that poor little kitchen wall and making a date with my drill to put up some much needed shelving.

Photos (better ones!) to follow!
