Whenever I have a big project to tackle, I find that "reframing" it to something more positive always helps. I usually turn it into a piece of "art" for the moment and keep moving.
With a new upstairs tenant on the way, I wandered around to look at what all needs to be done and what MUST be done. I also triaged the projects, generally putting the easiest ones first. That way, I get in the groove and get things accomplished. I like feeling "finished" and "successful" a step at a time, even when I know there is MORE in my future.
I began my quest, with this "flower pot drainage" art on the upstairs window seat. I began with Kaboom! As you can see above, MAGIC. From Kaboom, I moved on to a spray can of Kilz that covered up what was left so I could paint. Having success with the window seat, led me to cleaning two window units, scouring 2 sinks, and painting 5 doors. I'd say that's a pretty productive day, wouldn't you? And, pretty was my reward!
