The never-ending unfinished mess of projects...and stuff

Do you ever have so many projects going that you just feel like you aren't making any progress on any of them? That's where I'm at right now, with the added bonus of: the biggest, most overwhelming, boring project is the mandatory one with a deadline. I know that's just life, but I hate it.

I am nearly done priming the basement and painting the ceilings, so now I have to actually buy a paint with color in it. Such a big choice. So stressed about the commitment. (...because when I'm done painting, I'd like to be done for a while.)

I've put a couple of samples up on the wall. The first one is just my favorite color.


...but it hurt my brain to look at it on the wall. 
You can't begin to tell how painfully bright it is from this picture.


Also, before Tony left, I cleaned my insane avalanche pantry .
Avalanchery?


..and I repainted it..


..and now I'd love to get my stenciling skillz good enough to decorate something other than old drywall scraps....



...but there's that whole basement thing...

    1. Yellow butterflies in the pantry - if that's what you mean. Downstairs it's going to be brown and browner.

  4. I like brown and browner, that's what we did. But it's been 2 years since our remodel and still the ceiling is unpainted :(
    I think I'll need to hire Al to put trims up on our recessed lights...only paying customers get finished projects :)
