Jump Start Week 11

[holly-ivy]

Week 11 is going to be the Media Room. DH is having a couple of guys in this week for a movie so he will probably want to straighten it up, too. Since a lot of it is his stuff this will help.

I knew I'd fall off my wagon last week - just too much going on. We have spring break this week and very little scheduled, so I hope to be very productive this week. My original schedule for this week was the FAMILY ROOM & SUNROOM. Both of these rooms are in pretty good shape, so shouldn't take a whole lot of time. That being said, I will try to accomplish something on last week's list as well, since that needs to be done much more!

Oh goody! I was going to try to tackle this room this week anyhow - and to find it fits in with the plan makes me feel like I'm not behind. I have a list to work from, but since I don't want to overdo it, I'm only going to post my accomplished items from the list.

 

[jampss]

Oh, everyone's list of things is so different and fun to read over ... actually! Oooo, does that mean I'm a clean-freak or something?

Well, as I posted over in week 9 ... I revised my list because ... life happens!

jackfrosty...just keep moving forward...even if its only a few things getting accomplished...every little bit helps. I made a good dent in my efforts last week but really need to be more consistent in getting things done! Sometimes it seems the list goes on forever!!!

For those of you marking things off....GREAT job! I bet you are feeling great about your efforts!

 

[holly-ivy]

It amazes me what a few hours of concentrated effort can accomplish. The media room looks so much better. Made a few changes which should make it easier to maintain.And the pantry is finished! Feeling very accomplished right now. If I would just complete the room of the month, yet

just keep moving forward...even if its only a few things getting accomplished...every little bit helps

thanks, Gingerbug. Needed to be reminded of this.

I decided to paint the stairway yesterday instead of working on this. If I can get DH out of bed I'll try and do some more today!LOL! bun1

 

[momof4]

Ended up doing more fun stuff this week with some friends and with the kids than I originally planned, so I didn't get a lot done. I was hoping to get some of week 10 done this week, but that didn't happen at all. I think I'll tck that week onto the end of plan, because the storage rooms really need work!
