I've been renovating my bedroom for what seems like a bazillion years. The entire room is done. Well, except for two things. And honestly, if you know me at all, you'd know that I won't be able to sleep, until the project is DONE.
I'm refinishing a dresser, but... it got knocked over in the garage while still wet (which no one will admit to by the way) and now I have to sand the whole thing down and put another three coats of paint on it. I was so loving the dresser until then... and then I kinda lost my mo-jo. I'm also refinishing a headboard... but, because I'm a slack-ass and didn't prime it properly, the paint totally didn't adhere to it and it flakes off even if someone sneezes in another room. So not cool. So, I have to get all the paint off of that too (and it's all gooey and messy)... needless to say that I'm avoiding it like the plague. Which is not good, because I can't sleep until it's done.
So... because I'm in a AVOID HARD WORK AT ALL COSTS kind of mood, I decided to do something fun instead. I painted a picture for above my bed, with one of my favorite quotes by Harriet Tubman.
Maybe if I read the quote enough, I can find it within me to conquer the tedious tasks that lie ahead with my dresser and headboard so that I can rest easy again. I might not be able to change the world, but, at least maybe I can complete my bedroom!
