We had a bathroom that we stripped the wallpaper off of (mostly) right after we moved in and then left it, undone and sad. That was 5 years ago. It took one day to finish the job that has been weighing on my soul for 5 years. <br /><br />Three more Just Get On With It projects are being completed this week. Sweet relief.<br /><br />Next step, finally updated my blog.

I too am a procrastinator and really wish I wasn't but I do want things done a particular way, but after seeing how well your Ottoman has turned out I may just go and get some 'stuff' and get on with my own projects.

I will not make each one a touching novella of love and gratitude, I will just say thanks for the damn bowls already.

You have refurbished two pieces of furniture. You have enhanced your home in a way does that not meed a magnifying glass<br /><br />2) These are beautiful makeovers. That little chest of drawers would sell at a local shabby chic outlet near here for approximately £90-£120. I am not exaggerating. Nor am I sure, after the day I've had, whether I'm spelling exaggerating correctly.<br /><br />3) You are chic enough to even know what an ottoman is. I thought it was called a boxwithsquashytoptositon.<br /><br />4) Here is a quote from the late Jennifer Paterson. I'm sure it will come in useful:<br /><br />There's not a man<br />On my ottoman<br />There hasn't been one for weeks<br /><br />There's not a man <br />On my ottoman<br />Here's gone orf to fight the Greeks.<br /><br />5) I cannot read the book title.

It is useful to have several parallel undone tasks at a time I find as one job can be used to provide covering fire for another task. For instance: "Oh, I would have painted the kitchen ceiling, but I still haven't been able to move the old fridge from the middle of the kitchen floor and the step ladder can't get round it.".
