I NEED A DOCTOR:MAJOR CASE OF THE "DON'T WANTS"

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!!

Like the title of this post states....

I NEED A DOCTOR!

I have been on a "slow down before I completely explode into a million pieces" break. 

And BOY HAS IT BEEN GOOD...

Except...

I. DON'T. WANT. TO. DO. ANYTHING. NOW.

Let me re-phrase...I DO want to do EVERYTHING that I have pinned on my

gazillion Pinterest boards...

I DO want to

Paint,

ReDecorate,

Glue,

Cut,

Reframe,

Organize,

Declutter,

Cook, 

etc etc etc

and then

Blog about it ALL!

But I am Stuck...

I need a Doctor!

:)

Maybe feeling this way is the exact medicine that I needed in my life.

(I can imagine about a group of 10-20 close family and friends all nodding their heads while reading that sentence).

Yeah...

I get it!

But I'm done now...I am ALLLLL GOOD....Time to get er done!!

I have realized that I do not blog for others as much as I blog for myself.  It's the best "tricking myself to do something" accountability strategy.  Seriously! That is a FACT! Knowing that I said I was going to tell the world about that new organizational idea or what I did with that garage sale find kinda helps me actually do it.

Trust me...I WANT to tell the world...so this strategy is PERFECT!

Honestly, I really was hoping to EXPLODE this blog so that I could bring in a lil extra
C-A-S-H!

Ya Know?!?! Do a little sponsor stuff here... a few advertisements there...and poof! CASH!!

(HA! FUNNY, I know!)

Trust me...

I really would love that ALOT!

But I am okay either way...really...I am....I just want to get back to "tricking" myself again so I can get something accomplished for heaven's sake!

Maybe by brain and body have figured out this little sneaky plan of mine and I will have to come up with a NEW plan!?!?

Any ideas?

Now taking prescriptions,

HI-HO-HI-HO OFF TO THE BEACH WE GO!! {IN A FEW DAYS}

Pin It Now!

I am SO ready to go! Can't you tell!!!! A get away has been on my brain for weeks!!

My friend sent me this this morning....

SO READY, in fact, the only thing that I have to say in this post is simply this...

I.

AM.

GOING.

TO.

THE.

BEACH!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I MADE SOMETHING {FINALLY}:MONOGRAMMED SCRAP FENCING

Pin It Now!

CAN YOU BELEIVE IT?!!? I FINALLY MADE SOMETHING!

I WAS (and still am) needing some DIY therapy!!

I had a dose or two this weekend!  Look what I made!

I am so pumped...I really love it!

It's made from old fencing that we didnt need anymore...remember this post?

I had some left over paint so this was 100% FREE! My hubs likes that kinda crafting!

I even got creative with my paint stirrers...

my version of a "Paint Stick"!

Teehee!

1-Started out with using leftover blue paint to create a wide strip on top and bottom.

2-Then used yellow spray paint and just sprayed a line without taping.  I wanted a worn look so it was a perfect excuse not to tape ( I dislike taping...ALOT)!

3-Then I painted my "G" and when it was all dry, I sanded it until I got just enough "chippiness".

4-Next, I mixed gray paint with white paint and water and used a cloth to wash it on for an airy coastal driftwood look.

And that's all folks!

My patio is still a LOOOONG way off but this is it in progress.

I am TOTALLY into the whole "Painted Wood with Words or Letters" trend!

Are you!?!?

THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE WAY {I PROMISE}

Pin It Now!

I have been spending so much time looking at my clutter of a mess master closet, promising myself "Tomorrow...tomorrow is the day to gain control!"

Many tomorrows have come and gone!

*Tear*

I am determined, however, NOT to give up! Us southern girls are some fighters, y'all!

:()
And then...

....there is the patio!

It's been an ongoing project for 1---2---3 summers now?!...I did manage to redo a coffee table-Here!

 That baby was a hit with my readers and well, ME! I love it...but for the longest time, the re-do stopped there. One day, there's a lack of funds...the next time, it's lack of ability, then sometimes a lack of time and/or energy.  All in all, this past weekend, the poor patio did see some small improvement--Thanks to my brother-in-law!

It still needs to be "styled" but that's on the way soon!

I wasted a WHOLE gallon of paint on half that wall, like right up to the right of the window, because it is a very rough stucco and it STOLE my paint! THIEF!

So I traded services with the in-laws---looks like I'll be giving some decorative advise on their newly built home (coming soon) in exchange for a painted wall via PAINT SPRAYER!

Anyway, he sprayed the wall, and this old Pier One Hutch (Oh how I LOVE the pale robin's egg  blue color) that will act as a "divider" blocking the ugly window unit and punching bag...well at least until you walk a few steps out onto the porch and the ugly is revealed!

On another note..

CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THAT THING IS ON THE SHELF?

IT'S A TURTLE SHELL FOR MY SON..Can someone PAH-LEEZE tell me how to make THAT look decorative!?

ALSO...

I need advise...

Yes...

From YOU!...

What are some ways that I can use this Hutch for outdoors without actually putting a TV in it?

I've thought of shelves, etc...but I was hoping for something more...

IMAGINATIVE:)

IDEAS ANYONE??????

I will post an after when its actually all put together! I am praying that a nice little beach getaway will recharge my home renovation battery so that things can start getting accomplished!!!!!

I HEART YOU,
