I actually am on the house stretch with my studio. I’ve been engaged on this room for over a yr, and I’m so able to wrap this up and put a bow on it. It has, by far, been the largest challenge I’ve ever carried out, with our grasp lavatory coming in a detailed second. However I simply have just a few extra initiatives to do earlier than I can name it completed. (I’m not together with the studio half lavatory on this. I think about {that a} separate room and a separate challenge altogether.)
However within the means of doing that challenge, I’ve made an entire catastrophe of the remainder of the studio. (This shouldn’t shock you if you happen to’ve been round right here some time. I’m in all probability the messiest DIYer ever, and I’m okay with that. 😀 Issues at all times end up ultimately.) I pulled issues out of that closet that don’t want to return in there, however I nonetheless must undergo them. I used instruments and paint that I nonetheless haven’t put away. And I’m nonetheless gathering all of our cardboard packing containers for a challenge that my mother and I need to do. (More about that here.) So my studio is sort of the catastrophe.
The excellent news is that I actually haven’t utilized any of the storage within the studio but. There are a few cupboards and a few drawers which have issues in them, however they’re not likely organized but. So I nonetheless have this large group challenge that I must deal with. So for now, every thing is piled on the counter tops, work tables, and my desk.
Getting organized might be the largest and most time-consuming challenge that I nonetheless must do within the studio. I had been dreading the entire organizing course of and procrastinating so long as I may, however now that the closet is completed, I’m really sort of enthusiastic about it.
Apart from organizing, I nonetheless want to complete up some trim. I nonetheless want to put in trim on this space between the cupboards. It wants baseboards and door casing. After which I must wooden fill, sand, caulk, and paint the trim right here, in addition to the trim on the alternative wall. Then these two doorways have to be painted.
After which I nonetheless must do some electrical stuff over within the desk space, after which I must reupholster my chair.
These are the large objects nonetheless left on my checklist. Apart from that, I’ve just a few minor issues. The complete ground wants a very good cleansing. I must rehang my large calendar that retains falling off the wall. And after I was hammering within the storage closet, seven of my resin/alcohol ink rounds fell off of the wall, so I must get these put again up.
All of this to say that I’m feeling motivated and excited. I had just a few weeks of distractions with destroyed flooring, new home plans, attempting to get a workshop constructed (constructing allow nonetheless hasn’t been authorized), and ending up a challenge I dreaded doing. However now I actually really feel like I’m on the house stretch. I can see the end line, and I’ve obtained my second wind for that last push to the end line.
And to maintain me motivated to get organized, I’ve gone again to one in every of my favourite OG bloggers, I Heart Organizing. She doesn’t weblog anymore, which I feel is so unhappy. She stopped running a blog in March 2020. However she was at all times one in every of my favorites, and although she’s now not running a blog, her weblog remains to be there, and it’s loaded with group inspiration. So I began going again by way of her archives a few days in the past to get and keep motivated to get my studio organized. This needs to be enjoyable!
