I'm probably not asking "what am I look at", but more "what am I read". tee hee.

I want it.

My DR looks just like your before (except your table is what I want and mine isn't as nice), so I was anxious to see the after. It def. looks cozier, but that table seems way to small. So much so that it ruins it for me. The update to the curtains is nice, and the sideboard wood adds an element of cozy, but that table just isn't quite right. I want your old table. In my place if not in yours. :)

Cute, but lose the mini-art.

Wow, that was unexpected! Also, I love that table.

Cute nook. I would love to have one. Not "before and after" worthy though. We are all cleaning/organizing our places on a regular basis. Putting away a tiny bit of clutter isn't what people expect for a before and after. Maybe this should have been about rediscovering unused spaces or else skip it entirely.

Ziploc bags (w/zipper, not the ones you need to pinch closed) in every size. Life changing.

Wow this is sooo pretty! And what a fun adventure. Love the white, light, and wood.
Though, I admit, I'm glad I'm not the one dusting those shelves. How do you access the books above the fireplace and the kitchen aid mixer? (or shouldn't I ask?) ;)

Do you have alternatives in maybe 3 steps or less?

My living room floor looks exactly like this right now! hahaha. Sigh.
I cannot emphasize enough the value of No. 5 "Start". In fact it was the first thing I thought of before I saw it on your list. I often remind myself that unless I start, I'm guaranteed not to finish. Also, even if you only do a little bit, that bit won't need to be done later and often times you'll get some momentum going.

Lists are also great. Keeps you focused and if you have things broken down to small specific tasks it's a good way to see you progress and keep you moving forward.
