I think I need an intervention...

 

Seriously.

 

 

 My husband and I have been living in a construction site since April, also known as our master bedroom.

The plank ceiling has been done since June, minus some caulking. 

 

And while we are on the topic of our plank ceiling, I must confess I am not completely happy with how it turned out. True, I did it by myself, and had never, ever done something like it before. {And sometimes I am quite sure I will never do something like it again!} 

 

My husband says it looks really good, and the thing is, he means it. But I keep pointing out all the imperfections...and I think, in all honesty, those flaws have kind of discouraged me so much I haven't felt like finishing the room. Weird, huh?

 

Now, the plank wall turned out just as I'd hoped when I redid it this summer, but I do want to trim it out before showing you!

 

And the faux fireplace...ah, my husband completed it and attached it to the wall over a month ago, but have I shown it to you? Uh, no. But it is only half sanded. I don't think you'd want to see it quite yet! :)

I think I am in a kind of home improvement slump. Isn't this where the Decor SWAT team comes and arrests me for taking the longest time ever to redo a room?

 

Okay, I am saying it here, out loud and for anyone to hear.

This has to change.

No more fretting about ceiling imperfections. No more delaying and procrastinating. I will caulk the ceiling. I will trim the plank wall. And I definitely will sand the fireplace.

 

So, in the spirit of this proclamation, I am buying the Annie Sloan chalk paint needed to finish the fireplace. Imagine dreamy Pure White paint on the fireplace and Paloma inside the fireplace. {Paloma is gray, with a slightly lavender hue to it.}

AND this weekend, my husband is removing the outlet that is smack dab in the center of our little fireplace, rewiring it to a different place on the wall! 

Between these two things and some encouraging words from David, I think I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get working!

 

And if you are still reading this, you are amazing! Thank you for letting me ramble here for a bit, and as always, thank you for taking the time to stop by! :)

 

I hope you have a beautiful Friday!

 

Blessings,

Jenni
