I’m sure I can think of more than three. But I will try to stick to the prompt.
paint my bedroom
I have had this on my to-do list for eons and I have never gotten around to it.
But I am so freaking sick of the mid-2000s burgundy and I am dying for a lighter shade.
So. This summer, I really want to paint my bedroom.
find a bookshelf and paint it for the office
We have a black particle-board Ikea shelf in here right now. So, I want to scout out a used solid wood bookshelf and paint it white.
My desk and my drawer unit are white, and I think a white bookshelf would be such a nice touch.
paint the office
It is currently a sage green color, which again, was popular in the mid-2000s, which is when we bought this house and chose paint colors.
But I now feel like it’s too dark and I’d love to paint this room a lighter shade, particularly because it is halfway underground, with half-sized windows.
I did not sit down to the prompt expecting to have a painting theme, but here we are! I guess when I think about what I want to accomplish this year, painting is the first thing that comes to mind. 🙂
1) lose weight!
2) paint one wall
3) redo my kitchen backsplash
I’d like to make progress with some of the outdoor problems we have — in particular, decrepit trees and decrepit outbuildings. I’m going to call that two. Then, I’d like to come up with a way to get an additional room without spending $24.50 per 2×4 (chances ain’t great, but something’s gotta change).
1. Make at least one new friend. I saw a study (from 2019) that said most Americans haven’t made a new friend in the last five years. I honestly haven’t made a new friend in probably over 10 years.
1. Find a new couch. We’ve been on the hunt and my husband and I are finally on the same page about it. (I’m not always a great communicator.) Our new cats are a wonderful addition to our family, but they have sped up the death of our current couch cover and it’s time for a new couch.
2. Read around 3 more books by Kim Cash Tate. I just discovered her books this year and am doing a bit of a binge. They’re so good.
3. Family photos.
