diy or die

As an organizer & designer I’m always creating ways to simplify things and make it look fabulous too. I can’t help it and it’s my passion. Today I’m installing new hooks from @dropmetal that I found on Etsy. As always, I’m in for some mcm colors and décor. I’m also running out to get more gold spray paint for another metal mcm item, which needs some love.

Tell me what’s your thing? Does the long holiday weekend make you want to BBQ, have cocktails and hang out with friends or get in on some home projects? Don’t get me wrong, I love all that chilling out too, but Labor Day weekend makes me want to do some home improvement tasks. Especially when you might have others around that can help. I’m not against bribing with food and drink either. ;)

So what around your house bugs you? Is it the area you throw your mail? Could it be that end table with a chip or the wrong stain? Maybe your workstation is totally a mess?

You could do a diy of your own and feel accomplished because you did it! Ok but don’t go all crazy on some big project and blame me because you didn’t go swimming or chill out on the couch with some Netflix binging.

Think about how you’ll feel the next time you put away your yoga mat and it has it’s own place. Or happy feels you’ll get when the chip is gone from that side table or it has a new stain you love. What about the feeling of peace instead of overwhelm when you look at your work desk because it’s refreshed and newly organized?

Ah I feel the happiness already. There are many YouTube videos to help you too so start with one project. I said one! And once you’ve got that under your belt, move on to another.  

Have fun, then relax and enjoy the new space of happiness you’ve created. :D
