In the past, I've had no luck with general new year's resolution such as "exercise more." Usually I don't even bother with them at all. I want to try something a little different this time.
I'm going to blog a monthly goal. Nothing earth-shattering, nothing that will depress me if I don't get it done or impress anyone if I do get it done. But my goal will be here in my little blog, reminding me that if I have time to scribble my rambling thoughts to my internet buddies, then I have time to make some constructive changes in my surroundings.
Resolution #1 is to reorganize and update my bedroom.
Right now there is too much furniture, too many guitars and amps and cords, too many books, lamps that don't work in the space, outdated bedding and drapes, and old prints that do nothing for me anymore.
I want it to be a warm, inviting, calm, beautiful space.
My furniture is nice. I may update it with new hardware but it doesn't need refinishing. It's old, solid cherry and I've been stymied about what color walls will set it off best.
The current color is a very uninspired very light bisque with creamy white trim. Nice enough, but not special. I like painting but I'm not that good at it. I become obsessed with paint chips and color samples and have a hard time moving on from there!
If this does not work to motivate me, I can always delete this blog!
