But I will definitely take your advice and get that accomplished this week.<BR/><BR/>Im probably not a good person to advice but I think hanging curtains is probably the most bang for your buck. Painting the front door is definitely a huge impact but its more time consuming - more of a weekend project.Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-48522702629162087942008-05-20T09:16:00.000-04:002008-05-20T09:16:00.000-04:00So, how do they look???

If you did your assignment, then you can choose one for me: I need to paint my stair spindles, paint the front door, tape stripes in the entry, hang two framed posters, paint a dresser, call re. getting slipcovers made, look into framing some blueprints, and hang curtains.

Ill report back about the drapes.

But your list is really manageable, so I'm going to choose for you: tonight, you steam the drapes. Once you get started, it'll take barely any time at all and then every time you walk by them, you can think about how good they look and how it was worth it. And that will give you the motivation you need to hang the PVE artwork tomorrow night. Seriously, by the time you think of all the reasons not to do it, you could have already had them steamed, so just do it tonight. (now if only I could take my own advice...)Lisa at Paint in my Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843034256592517362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-38297857293127820152008-05-19T13:15:00.000-04:002008-05-19T13:15:00.000-04:00One thing at a time...some of those tasks seem pre...One thing at a time...some of those tasks seem pretty small and simple...do one.
