Either I'm gonna start working out, or I'm going to clean my room, or start dressing better, stop spending money, craft something, paint something move something.
The list of things I say I'm going to do is endless.
There are so many projects, stories, things that I have started and yet never finished. I have stories I've written years ago that I just stop writing after a few chapters and then never go back to.
Its a problem and I always hate myself because of it.
But that ends today. For the first time ever (and I mean ever) I have finished a project that I set out to do. Its nothing big, in fact its quiet silly when I think about how excited I am about it.
Months ago, I don't actually remember when but months ago, I found an old bed side dresser on craigslist. It was free so I decided, why not I'll go and get it and fix it up, paint it make it look nice. I mean I've been using an old stereo as a bedside table for the last like 5 years.
My step dad sanded it and got it ready for me to paint, we got the paint but due to how cold its been I haven't been able to do anything with it. Finally though it was warm enough for me to paint it.
After about 2 weeks of painting whenever it was warm enough I have finally finished it.
It is now settled in my room next to my bed.
I love it. I couldn't be more proud of it. Or of myself.
I finally finished something.
Finally.
Here are some pictures! I don't have any of it before because I didn't think about it.
This is what I had been using
This is it what I'm now using. The color is off because of lighting but its a nice, robins egg blue(ish) color
I painted the inside of the drawers a different color because I liked the idea. Its sort of a sea foam/mint green.
And this is the finished product, in its proper place.
I even kept the original handles and I'm really happy I did because they look really good.
Its stupid I know. But I'm really proud of it. Because I have a real problem with follow through.
AHHHHH SO PROUD omg it's beautiful
