DIY confessions

I have been spending the last week or so painting, sanding, and hanging wallpaper.   Many years ago  I was all about DIY.  
 

I have painted murals in bathrooms and clouds on ceilings.

 



I have hung my share of wallpaper. 

I even used sheets as wall decor in apartments and duplexes I lived in but did not own.  
It is a great solution for decorating walls in a temporary situation. For more information check out this link for decorator secrets.

And to be sure I have painted and painted and then painted some more.  

I have even installed several tons of Pennsylvania Blue Stone in a entry, dining room, hallway and kitchen.


I have cut holes in walls and installed molding.  

I have landscaped many a homes the last one being almost a half acre.  




I really do love reading about DIY and seeing the results

..............BUT.........

  I have come to the conclusion

I love supervising the doing rather than doing the doing.  

But for now my husband and I are doing the doing.

 The next task is painting a kitchen and living room, installing new base, some more wallpaper, taping and texturing.

Of course the goal is to get all this done before Thanksgiving.
 
No problem.....right?

I'm in total agreement! Supervising is the way to go. I don't do any DIY anymore....No Time!
