Today was productive! Though I got a late start, I managed to sand, paint and install my vanity. I also sanded and painted the chair for the vanity. I bought the chair a few months ago from the thrift store it was 5 dollars. It was a Rooms To Go donation, because it was severely damaged. I tried to fix it, but the back rest was too damaged. I decide to saw off the bulk of the back rest until it level with the arm rests. It looks kinda funky, but it might be interesting when everythings done. All I have to do now is recover the seat and the chair will be completed.
Tonight, I started the curtains for the vanity. I picked some fabric out of our fabric stash. I got lucky for once and had some fabrics that kind of matched the colors on the inspiration fabric. The colors I used are beigey cream and rose pink. I spent alot of time pleating the curtains. Tomorrow, I will be finishing the curtains, and attaching it using velcro to the vanity.
I still have alot of organizing to do. It seems to be a never ending avalanche of clutter. I've thrown away a lot of stuff. The storage in my living space is almost nil. I am trying to create storage when I can. Its overwhelming at times. Trying to condense 10 years, and 3 homes worth of detritus is possibly the hardest thing for me to do.
I have accepted that our family has a touch of the hoarding gene.
