My capabilities have really been put to the test lately. I'm usually pretty good at do-it-yourself tasks, but when I ended up spending 12 hours striping wallpaper from the bathroom walls in my pending new shop, well.... that put me into a whole new mental arena. Not my favorite job. I will spare you the boring details of the multiple layers that I am still not finished removing before I move on to the prime & paint... I think the limited ventilation and lack of sleep are what lead me to a mini melt down. I know now that I will definitely hire this job out if it ever presents itself again. I'm always learning something new.
I'm getting close to the Grand Opening of the new shop. I am busy putting the finishing touches on everything and waiting for inventory to arrive. This process is a lot like moving - exciting, overwhelming, with bits of frustration. Good times. Did I mention that it's Spring Break? My people went on vacation without me to the same lovely
destination we visit every year. They left this morning for a week. It's going to be strange, but there really was no possibility that I would be able to remotely relax with everything I'm hoping to accomplish. What am trying to accomplish, you may wonder (or not)? Balance - the ultimate goal. That's it.
Here is a "before" peek at the
shop.It's going to be really fabulous. I love my new blue walls - Benjamin Moore Serenity, in case you're wondering.
Have a great week. I will try to check in with the details of my insanity soon.
love,
