But I’m just not right now.
These days, I just need something that.works.. And then I’m on to the next thing..
So here’s how I always do my bookshelves.It takes me 5 minutes and it makes me feel happy and calm.. Here’s the shelf that I showed you recently from my dining room:.a little DIY upgrade on it.
for fun, but mostly I picked it up to fill this corner until we get some built-ins done here and to take some of the weight off of my poor old buffet.Oh, and to hold some books that have been floating around the house..
This arranging tip is so simple it’s almost silly, but it really really works!.
You put everything that’s the same together.. That’s it.. Don’t worry about balancing things out, or mixing it up, just group items together that look the most like one another.. Then, if it’s still feeling a little cluttered you add in one to two baskets, preferably somewhere in the bottom 1/3 of the shelf.. Then, if it needs a little something extra, add a pop of green.Tip #1: Set aside a couple of days to get it done.
Make them “painting days”.Wear your painting clothes the whole time and just plan to be a general mess.
At first, each pack of 6 beadboard strips was taking me about 45 mins total to get done, but it was spread out over a couple of hours including drying time.I was thinking originally that I could just set aside 5 minutes per coat and kind of do it without making a mess hopefully in between all of my regular activities.
