Procrastination overload...



You know that feeling of being buried in projects you pushed aside for a rainy day...and that rainy day never came?

well fortunately that day finally did come!

The possum problem I have had of late, has been the push I have needed to move some junk potential sales out to be cleaned up , fixed, and recreated.




To start with these two lights I bought from a garage sale quite a few years ago....I liked the look and I knew I could rewire them to work. 



Actually this one was an infrared heating lamp, thank goodness they dont use these anymore! I liked the little stand and thought it would look great next to the lounge.



So I ripped out the heater, and installed the new wiring, and it all went together so easily. But when I put it on the stand, and placed it next to the lounge, it just looked wrong.

I thought it would be better up higher, maybe on a stand....

So out I went to my stash of junk project pieces, and low and behold, I knew exactly what I needed!



I remember finding this little guy, and had to fight for it, all $6.00 of it! Even back then I knew what I wanted it for!

Well dont they make a cute couple?



For ten minutes work, I could have put these together years ago, but  procrastinating is a funny thing....

The other fabulous light has come in handy on my desk...

So I guess these are keepers....for now ;)

Another light-ning moment, ha!

Do-er or daydreamer?

Im unfortunately one of those daydreamers...I can daydream for weeks on end!
Im such 'the creator',' the decorator', and 'the stylist'.....in my head!

Dated 2005

I have such vision for my home, I have imagined each room to be harmonious, lovely, and an extension of ourselves. From the window treatments to the flooring, and everything in between, complete and comfortable living.

WHO AM I KIDDING!!!

In reality, I have projects started in every room, never enough time, never enough money, and never enough stamina to see them through till the end!

My latest home project is the main bedroom, hubby's and my domain, or 'the dumping ground'!
Whatever doesnt fit around the house, usually ends up here!



To start...
I bought some photo frames a while ago, and have started making some curtains, and buying some paint, and moving furniture around, and that is it, a standstill!




 So this is my last resort, sharing it with you may give me the motivation needed!






If you dont see some updated photos soon, just give me a nudge, Im probably in a corner daydreaming again.... 
So....are you are do-er, or a daydreamer?
