I am officially the queen of unfinished projects - for some reason, I just have a hard time finishing up the smallest things! So, I've decided to start a "Dude, Get on that Already" challenge inspired by Sherry at Young House Love (a blog I seriously LOVE). She's been doing one small project a week to finally tackle a room full of homeless items after their big move last year, in the midst of a huge kitchen remodel, full-time blogging, writing a book, etc. So, I figured if she can do it in the middle of all that, I could probably handle one these small un-finished (some even un-started) projects each week and hopefully put an end to some of my procrastination!
Anyway, this week I tackled a super easy project, but one that has taken me nearly 9 months to do (like I said, I have a problem). Last summer my family bought me this print of the Britt's Doughnuts, an amazing doughnut shop at Carolina Beach, NC where we vacation each year. I bought a frame, and since then it has sat around waiting to be hung on the wall. And now that I think about it, it may have actually been two summer ago that they gave it to me (again... its a problem).
So yesterday I finally hung it up in the hallway, along with one of Sam's family photos that they took over Christmas this year, which he has been wanting to hang for weeks now.
You can see in these pics another major unfinished project - I recently painted the hallway walls & trim, but haven't gotten around to the doors yet, which is why they are that awful off-white color. Because really, who likes painting doors? My least favorite ever. Other future upgrades definitely include a cuter light fixture to spruce up this little hallway at some point... we'll see!
Sorry for bad quality iPhone pics, I can never seem to find my camera recently...
Anyway, stay tuned for a weekly "Dude, Get on that Already" challenge update. I'm pretty sure you'll be amazed at how many loose ends I have around here, but whatever, I have no shame. Please tell me I'm not the only one with this can't-finish-a-project-to-save-my-life syndrome?
